The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit today unanimously reversed a trial court’s ruling dismissing a fraud case brought against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The result of the appellate court’s ruling is that CAIR National, operating out of the District of Columbia, must stand trial and allow a jury to hear all of the evidence of the massive fraud and attempted cover up carried out by CAIR and perpetrated against hundreds of CAIR fraud victims.
In January of last year, Judge Paul Friedman, the federal judge presiding over a five-year old lawsuit alleging that CAIR defrauded hundreds of Muslim and non-Muslim clients, issued a shocking ruling when he summarily dismissed the lawsuit, which was brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Immediately, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) and the Law Offices of David Yerushalmi appealed, asking the D.C. Circuit to reverse Judge Friedman and reinstate the plaintiffs’ claims against CAIR.
The appellate court heard oral arguments in February of this year. Judge Sri Srinivasan, often mentioned as one of the judge’s on the President’s short list to fill a slot on the U.S. Supreme Court, sat as Chief Judge for the 3-judge panel that also included Judge Robert Wilkins, who authored the unanimous decision, and Judge Douglas Ginsburg.

Hopefully, they'll lose at judgment time (both legal and divine).
The US Government shut down the US Nazi Party - CAIR are no less a danger, probably more.
And CAIR will claim Islamophobia and hate speech. 0bama concurs.
Friends of Obama, et al. While the GOPe fiddles, America burns....
Yes!
I think that maybe I’m dreaming.
Reichmeister Lynch will not be happy about this.
CAIR is one of the biggest reasons to vote for Trump. Right now Obama LOVES CAIR and they have the run of DC.
What were the CAIR clients defrauded of?
Was it money? What? -tom
No, she will not be. She will be babbling about the need to love them.
Defrauded of money and true legal representation, because he was not a lawyer, and CAIR knew this to be the case.
Cool.

The big O will pardon them before he leaves office.
BUMP!
That’s an excellent way of looking at it...I like your faith.
Short version (an excerpt):
Morris Days, the “Resident Attorney” and “Manager for Civil Rights” at the now defunct CAIR-MD/VA chapter in Herndon, Virginia, was in fact not an attorney and that he failed to provide legal services for clients who came to CAIR for legal representation. As alleged, CAIR knew of this fraud and purposefully conspired with Days to keep the CAIR clients from discovering that their legal matters were being mishandled or not handled at all.
The article says there are hundreds of victims. This lawsuit could easily put CAIR out of business, permanently.
Some other interesting tidbits from the article:
CAIR, a self-described Muslim public interest law firm, was previously named as a Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front group by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the federal criminal trial and conviction of a terrorist funding cell organized around one of the largest Muslim charities, the Holy Land Foundation (HLF). HLF raised funds for violent jihad on behalf of Hamas, and top CAIR officials were part of the conspiracy. In addition, several of CAIR’s top executives have been convicted of terror-related crimes. As a result, the FBI publicly announced that it has terminated any outreach activities with the national organization, which bills itself as “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization.”
Thanks guys.-Tom
