A former Department of Homeland Security official says it took him only a few hours to connect Sunday’s Islamic terrorist attack in Orlando to December’s carnage in San Bernardino, and he says the federal government’s active refusal to acknowledge reality is “handcuffing” efforts to keep the American people safe.
Philip Haney served nearly a decade at the Department of Homeland Security after its inception in 2003. His responsibilities there included investigations for Customs and Border Patrol through its National Targeting Center. While there, he played a key role in vetting people connected to Tablighi Jamaat, an Islamic group with some 70 million members.
In less than two days since the massacre at the Pulse club in Orlando, reports have surfaced that terrorist Omar Saddiqui Mateen was investigated multiple times by the FBI but was ultimately deemed not to be a threat, despite professing a link to the Boston Marathon bombers and the terrorist group Hezbollah.
Haney said that should have raised innumerable red flags, but he said the FBI’s own training procedures, updated in 2012, stopped common sense from taking the probe any further.

From the Gorelick wall to the Obama wall. And they tell us walls don’t work.
As our next President said earlier today, we need to find out what is going on.
Silly. Walls are only for US taxpayers.
They are not failures, but policy, agency and results successes for an administration that hates America, and wants her destroyed so as to pave the way for their one-world communist government and socialist economy.
Most Americans were unaware of the enormous damage to morale at the Department of Homeland Security, where I worked, his condemnation caused. His words infuriated many of us because we knew his administration had been engaged in a bureaucratic effort to destroy the raw material—the actual intelligence we had collected for years, and erase those dots. The dots constitute the intelligence needed to keep Americans safe, and the Obama administration was ordering they be wiped away.......
As the number of successful and attempted Islamic terrorist attacks on America increased, the type of information that the Obama administration ordered removed from travel and national security databases was the kind of information that, if properly assessed, could have prevented subsequent domestic Islamist attacks like the ones committed by Faisal Shahzad (May 2010), Detroit “honor killing” perpetrator Rahim A. Alfetlawi (2011); Amine El Khalifi, who plotted to blow up the U.S. Capitol (2012); Dzhokhar or Tamerlan Tsarnaev who conducted the Boston Marathon bombing (2013); Oklahoma beheading suspect Alton Nolen (2014); or Muhammed Yusuf Abdulazeez, who opened fire on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee (2015).
And look here for what the Obama Administration did to make it so much harder to connect the dots in the San Bernadine Global Jihad attack.
All on “Obama’s watch” can’t be said enough. Haven’t heard that phrase in years, unless of course it is used in reference to GWB.
The intelligence failure are, and have been consistently, due to the agenda and policies of Obama.
Common Sense says don't invite hatred groups into our country without being properly identified , and vetted.
A reasonable length pause in immigration makes common sense THAT'S WHO WE ARE !!.."
But that's not what Obama is all about, otherwise he wouldn't have financially supported and sustained terrorism here , or abroad (ie: Iran, Egypt, Al Quaeda, etc.) !
Mr. Haney was seen on the tube last night. He was on one of the many broadcasts telling the host of the connection and the failings of the BO’B administration. And the former deputy director of the FBI has come out actually stating the the DOJ had gone in and scrubbed clean the FBI site of investigation information. Believe he might have been on Megyn Kelly’s show. BO’B and his motley crew are certainly no friends to this country.
Exactly, and the corrupt media helps Obama and hurts the country.
Working for G4S requires background checks, permitting to carry side arms openly while on duty and regular requalification testing & background checks. At a minimum he should have lost his gun quals to the domestic violence.
DHS contracts security services to G4S, one of their largest security providers.
Something stinks big time in this “he passed all the FBI investigations” disinformation.
The federal government’s active refusal to acknowledge reality is keep the American people ignorant.
All those sci-fi and B movies/tv shows showed American public can't handle the hard truth, citizens prefer to be kept in the dark and in their comfort cocoons .....

Thanks. BUMP!
No. Raised a small finite number of warnings. "Innumerable" means an infinite number. Innumerates occasionaly use it to exaggerate.
BTTT
Obama’s current battle is to get gun control through Congress. But he’s already started his next thrust, which is to censore the Internet. Obama blames the Internet for rad idealizing the perp.
after 9/11 we heard ad nauseum about “connecting the dots” and tons of liberals in particular attacking the Bush admin. for failing to connect Al Qaeda dots..... yet here, all these years later, we have the grotesque spectacle of the Obamanation admin. intentionally obliterating hundreds and thousands of potential “dots” because the Islamo-fascists have infiltrated the admin.
UNBELIEVABLE. Wholesale deletions of intel data because Muslim apologists in the admin. don’t want any arrows to point toward radical mosques, imams, fundraisers, Hamas supporters in the USA etc. etc. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Fixed it!
