Report: Obama Told NSC And FBI To 'Downplay' Terrorist Angle Of San Bernardino

"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."...........

Ted Cruz Denounces Loretta Lynch

RUSH:..This morning in Washington at the Heritage Foundation, Ted Cruz reacting to Loretta Lynch. Loretta Lynch said something this week that is far more dangerous than anything Donald Trump's even thinking. Loretta Lynch said she was gonna prosecute anybody criticizing Muslims and Islam. She went on national TV surrounded by a bunch of lackeys and supporters and warning everybody, you better be careful what you say, because we're listening, and if you dare criticize Islam or Muslims, we're coming for you, and we are going to prosecute you. You want to talk about the Constitution, anybody? What did the Drive-Bys do? Cheered. Majority of Americans say, screw you! Here's Ted Cruz on this.

CRUZ: Loretta Lynch told a gathering the day after the San Bernardino attack that her department would move to prosecute anyone whose, quote, "anti-Muslim rhetoric," quote, "edged towards violence." The day after a terror attack, 14 innocent lives snuffed away. As has been the case all too often in the Obama administration, we may be facing once again the weaponization of one of our own government agencies, deployed not to protect Americans, but to force them to submit to the Obama administration's code of what is and is not acceptable speech."....

Report: Congress 'Misled' About Taliban Five to 'Settle a Campaign Promise'

As the House Armed Services Committee released a lengthy report on President Obama's swap of five Taliban detainees for Bowe Bergdahl, one former Guantanamo detainee took a bow this week as a new spokesman for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

The House report covers the transfer of Taliban communications chief Mohammad Nabi Omari, deputy minister of intelligence Abdul Haq Wasiq, interior minister Khairulla Said Wali Khairkhwa, deputy minister of defense Mohammad Fazl, and senior military commander Mullah Norullah Noori in May 2014 to Qatar.

Chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) noted that since that moment, the committee has been conducting an investigation into the actions of then-Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and senior Pentagon officials.

"Our report finds that the administration clearly broke the law in not notifying Congress of the transfer," Thornberry said. "Leading up to the transfer, DOD officials misled Congress as to the status of negotiations. Pentagon officials best positioned to assess the national security risks were left out of the process, which increases the chances of dangerous consequences from the transfer.".......

.............."Transferring five senior Taliban leaders from GTMO offered the prospect of making other transfers appear to be less threatening or contentious. If these five left GTMO, it could ease the case for the departure of others presumed to be less risky... Some of the Taliban Five have engaged in threatening activities since being transferred to Qatar. Regrettably, this outcome is a consequence of a poorly managed process undertaken contrary to a law specifically intended to minimize the risk posed by detainee transfers."

As if on cue, this week AQAP released a video titled "Guardians of Sharia" featuring Ibrahim Qosi, who cut a plea deal with the tribunal in 2010 and was released to Sudan in July 2012.

Two years later, Qosi had joined AQAP and is now one of the leaders of the al-Qaeda branch in Yemen. In the video, a first-time appearance since his release from Gitmo, he stressed the importance of “individual jihad" against the United States............

How frigging wonderful. Let’s just add this on the pile of things that would get a Republican removed from office but not a Marxist.

The reason the investigation was quashed? Because the federal government [Obungo, the Kenyan traitor] did not want to profile koranimal Islamic groups, Haney told Kelly.

There.
Fixed it.

We know what his priorities are, not that there is any doubt.

This is a huge story but it seems like few are seeing just how big it is. Here is a direct link to the Youtube video of Kelly's interview with Phillip Haney. Everyone should see this.

Wow! If this wasnt so dead on serious I would say it’s “Yuge.”

Agent Haney just changed the landscape in a way that is very easy for the “low information voter” to grasp. The Obama Administration ORDERED no profiling and the deletion of gathered intelligence about the very mosque that the San Bernidino shooters attended. Can a good, media driven attorney file a wrongful death suit fast enough? For the reasons of (at best) political correctness and (at worst) moslim coddling 14 people died and 22 were injured.

This leads right to the Oval Office and its occupant, along with his inept Secretary of State.

Wow! That is horrible. But this is Obama we’re talking about, so it’s not surprising.

There is a coordinated cover up going on at the top level of the Federal Government and it's tentacles reach into all of the branches of the our Government.

The halted investigations, the botched misses by agencies, the storming of the apartment by reporters, the SBPD being quick response to shooting and where is third gunman.

The States need to pull together a covert team of their best investigators and start trying to unravel the mystery. It is evident our Congress will not do it and are part of the cover up. FBI/CIA/NSA are no help and only do what commanded to by DHS

I can only see the States fixing the problem or the Citizens fixing it. I am ready for it to be fixed

Haney said that just a year into the investigation it was shut down State Department and the Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

The reason the investigation was quashed? Because the federal government did not want to profile Islamic groups, Haney told Kelly.

Trump should be mentioning this in his upcoming appearances.

And didn't exact same thing happen before 9-11? Didn't people around the flight school report those perps, only to have the White House (at the time under the Clinton administration) shut down any investigations?
