The FBI has taken heat for failing to immediately classify the San Bernardino shootings as terrorism, but a new report shows that FBI reluctance could have been due to external pressure from the White House.
A source told Jack Murphy of SOFREP that the FBI instantly believed the shooting, which left 14 dead, to be a clear act of terrorism. The White House, however, didn't feel the same way and quickly moved in to squash the terror classification.
This source added that as soon as the shooting took place, Obama convened a meeting with the National Security Council and the heads of other federal enforcement agencies to discuss a public relations strategy.

"Michael Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said publicly that the Obama administration wants to completely sideline discussion of terrorism, because it contradicts the claim that al-Qaida is dwindling. Obama recently suffered major embarrassment after he claimed that ISIS was contained, only one day before the Paris attacks took place."

Don’t you just hate when reality refuses to line up with your rhetoric? That can be SO embarrassing.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, you have the Democrat Party.
Fourteen dead Americans, and the very first thing President Fumblebutt does is have a meeting to discuss their public relations plan on this.

They want to downplay because they are on the same side as sharia. They want us attacked. They want us on our knees with guns to the back of our heads. Payback USA for 200 years evil. They hate us this much.

Does anyone think for one half a second that the FBI/NSA/DHS and a 1/2 dozen other government agencies had these Farrookers on their watch list?
But they did nothing.
In the name of political correctness - they watched and listened as the plot to mass murder 14 people was carried out and as per orders of the Total Pussy in Chief - they just let it happen.

But we’re supposed to take the FBI’s word that Obama’s opinion of the investigation of Mrs. Clinton doesn’t matter.
