72 employees at DHS on terror watch list
American Thinker ^ | 12-4-15 | Carol Brown

Posted on 12/04/2015 5:50:03 AM PST by markomalley

Congressman Stephen Lynch (D- MA) was one of 47 Democrats who joined with Republicans to support a GOP bill to tighten screening requirements for "Syrian refugees." I happen to think this is moot since the FBI Director has made it crystal clear we can screen all we want, but since there is no intelligence to refer back to, the process will yield unreliable results. That aside, Lynch is speaking out on his lack of confidence in the Department of Homeland Security as well as the Transportation Security Administration. On Tuesday, during an interview on Boston Public Radio, Lynch stated:

---------

Back in August, we did an investigation--the inspector General did--of the Department of Homeland Security, and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security. The director had to resign because of that. Then we went further and did and eight-airport investigation. We had staffers go into eight different airports to test the department of homeland security screening process at major airports. They had a 95 percent failure rate. We had folks--this was a testing exercise, so we had folks going in there with guns on their ankles, and other weapons on their persons, and there was a 95 percent failure rate.

-----------

Six dozen DHS employees are on the terror watch list and the TSA has a 95% failure rate. No further comment is needed. The numbers speak for themselves. (And one can only wonder how the announcement of the TSA failure rate may encourage terrorists to up the ante with respect to air travel.)

“The director had to resign “

So, can we assume the 72 identified people on the terror watch list were fired ?

They must have a great “vetting” process. “Here, fog this mirror. Okay. You’re good.”

“...and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security. The director had to resign because of that.”

I noticed this morning that the FBI is still agonizing over whether the attack in California was terrorism, and, get this, whether the killer was radicalized.

We are being governed by fools.

Which of these allowed the Boston terrorists to
enter the USA without a passport?

Or all of them?

Who is protecting them?

Congress, treasonous, ever-lying, corrupt, and EXEMPT,
is COMPLICIT 100%.

There really are only two types of people that adhere to Islam:

1) Radicals who want to kill you.
2) Moderates who will sit in silence while radicals kill you.

Okay, so let me wrap my head around this:

A Leftist politician - on a Leftist radio station - is whistleblowing on Leftist government mismanagment?!?!?

I expect the media to immediately question Obama or his spokesperson to ask why there are 72 people on the terrorist watch list WORKING at DHS. Has anyone even asked WHY they are working there and who hired them? Time to impeach!

I got serious after 9-11. There is only one way presently known to counter the threat, and that is the Israeli way.
Any other way is a PC method doomed to periodic or complete failure.

I channel surfed onto Morning Joe today and they had two liberal weenie guests who were vomiting the same BS.
Even Mika looked at them with amazement.

Correct... the NEA and their guaranteed, perennial crop of near-moron voters is ALSO complicit..

Congress on its own is one thing... the jackass voters who routinely place and return these treasonous creeps to office is something else.
