Rumor Check: Ex-FBI Agent Claims Obama’s CIA Nominee Is Really a Secret Muslim Recruited by Saudis

Did President Obama nominate an Islamic convert with a decades old connection to the most anti-American variant of that religion to a post no less potent than the director of the CIA?

That is the hot charge against John Brennan that gained rapid viral traction over the weekend because of comments made by an ex-FBI agent known for his efforts to expose radical Islamists.

John Guandolo first made the accusation during a recent radio interview. Today he repeated the charge during an interview with TheBlaze in which we pressed him to provide details that might substantiate his case.

There is a lot to sort through here, and as is often the case when viral charges start to spread, readers would be wise to keep an eye out for as many hard facts as possible.

I would not be surprised by what we found but by the fact we checked.

Exactly, like I said
I bet if they checked on O himself, that would surprise you.

I didn't bring what we would find into it - Just checking on Obama himself.

The seriousness of the charge is all that matters. anyone remember that?

Yes because there was not one scintilla of evidence, they had to investigate.

What Difference Does it Make?

Lawrence Walsh, was the special prosecutor picked to investigate the baseless charge that Bush Sr flew to Iran on an SR71 to make a deal to not release the hostages til after the Election. I forget which member of congress said it.
