As FBI Director Mueller Helped Cover Up Fla. 9/11 Probe, Court Docs Show

Judicial Watch ^ | January 23, 2018

Court documents recently filed by the government further rock the credibility of Russia Special Counsel Robert Mueller because they show that as FBI Director Mueller he worked to cover up the connection between a Florida Saudi family and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The documents reveal that Mueller was likely involved in publicly releasing deceptive official agency statements about a secret investigation of the Saudis, who lived in Sarasota, with ties to the hijackers. A Florida journalism nonprofit uncovered the existence of the secret FBI investigation that was also kept from Congress.

Under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI tried to discredit the story, publicly countering that agents found no connection between the Sarasota Saudi family and the 2001 terrorist plot. The reality is that the FBI’s own files contained several reports that said the opposite, according to the Ft. Lauderdale-based news group’s ongoing investigation . Files obtained by reporters in the course of their lengthy probe reveal that federal agents found “many connections” between the family and “individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.” The FBI was forced to release the once-secret reports because the news group sued in federal court when the information wasn’t provided under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The disingenuous statements were issued by FBI officials in Miami and Tampa in a desperate effort to disparage a 2011 story exposing the agency’s covert investigation of the Sarasota Saudis as well as reporting that it had been concealed from Congress. Mueller is referenced in a document index that was ordered by a federal judge to be created in late November 2017. The south Florida judge, William J. Zloch, a Ronald Reagan appointee, asked the FBI to explain where it had discovered dozens of pages of documents in the public-records case filed six years ago. The index reference to then-FBI Director Mueller appears in an item involving an agency white paper written a week after the publication of a news story about the abrupt departure of Saudis Abdulaziz and Anoud al-Hijji from their Sarasota area home about two weeks before 9/11. The couple left behind their cars, clothes, furniture, jewelry and other personal items. “It was created to brief the FBI Director concerning the FBI’s investigation of 4224 Escondito Circle,” the al-Hijjis’ address, the index says.

Though the recently filed court documents reveal Mueller received a briefing about the Sarasota Saudi investigation, the FBI continued to publicly deny it existed and it appears that the lies were approved by Mueller. Not surprisingly, he didn’t respond to questions about this new discovery emailed to his office by the news organization that uncovered it. Though the mainstream media has neglected to report this relevant development, it’s difficult to ignore that it chips away at Mueller’s credibility as special counsel to investigate if Russia influenced the 2016 presidential election. Even before the Saudi coverup documents were exposed by nonprofit journalists, Mueller’s credentials were questionable to head any probe. Back in May Judicial Watch reminded of Mueller’s misguided handiwork and collaboration with radical Islamist organizations as FBI director.

Back in 2013 Judicial Watch exclusively obtained droves of records documenting how, under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI purged all anti-terrorism training material deemed “offensive” to Muslims after secret meetings between Islamic organizations and the then-FBI chief. Judicial Watch had to sue to get the records and published an in-depth report on the scandal in 2013 and a lengthier, updated follow-up in 2015. As FBI director, Mueller bent over backwards to please radical Islamist groups and caved into their demands. The agency eliminated the valuable anti-terrorism training material and curricula after Mueller met with various Islamist organizations, including those with documented ties too terrorism. Among them were two organizations— Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)—named by the U.S. government as unindicted co-conspirators in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing case. CAIR is a terrorist front group with extensive links to foreign and domestic Islamists. It was founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists (Omar Ahmad, Nihad Awad and Rafeeq Jaber) who ran the American propaganda wing of Hamas, known then as the Islamic Association for Palestine.

Special counsel Robert Mueller, when he was FBI Director, may have helped cover up connections between a Saudi family and the 9/11 terror attacks, according to Tuesday report from conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.

Thanks for the ping. I wonder what it takes to stop a special counsel investigation.

[Cen-Tejas]

..........could not agree more. We’ve known for years that these Saudi’s in Florida were supporting some of the creeps that killed 3,000 Americans. We did not know the extent of various FBI/DOJ and other government officials. It’s time to put people on trial for Treason. That’s why we have the damn law. Our coward leaders are afraid to prosecute somebody for Treason because they might have to execute them. It’s part of the NO ACCONTABILITY Society the Left has created for all of us.

-- I wonder what it takes to stop a special counsel investigation. --

A zot works. See Nixon sacking Cox.

There is a supposedly "orderly way", that is expressed in DOJ Regulation at 28 CFR 600.7

(d) The Special Counsel may be disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. The Attorney General may remove a Special Counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause, including violation of Departmental policies. The Attorney General shall inform the Special Counsel in writing of the specific reason for his or her removal.

For the Mueller investigation, "Attorney General" in this regulation is Rod Rosenstein. An earlier part of DOJ regulations provides for the substitution of "person acting as Attorney General."

Finding any of those causes for removal is a pubic/news/political activity. Absent public acceptance of reason for removal, the removal of Mueller would be like Nixon's removal of Cox - portrayed by the press as an admission of guilt.

At this point, I just ask whether the public accepts Mueller as "unbiased." If the answer is "no," then allowing him to finish is pointless.

Thanks for the explanation at post #46.

Someone paid big bucks to get those people out of the country - and it was done AFTER flights were grounded...

That's a different group of Saudis. Some left before 9/11, others left when the planes were allegedly grounded.

[jazusamo]

Thanks for the link.

It’s clear to me if to no one else that President Bush approved those flights after the terrorist attack and some of his administration people facilitated them.

[arrogantsob]

The article says the family fled BEFORE 9/11 not after.

[GOPJ]

Not only was it AFTER 9/11 it was during the time planes were grounded. The man who wrote the story is dead now. He was 32 years old when he died.

Who let bin Ladens leave U.S.? By Alexander Bolton

The Bush administration has refused to answer repeated requests from the Sept. 11 commission about who authorized flights of Saudi Arabian citizens, including members of Osama bin Laden’s family, from the United States immediately after the attacks of 2001. Former Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.), vice chairman of the independent, bipartisan commission, disclosed the administration’s refusal to answer questions on the sensitive subject during a recent closed-door meeting with a group of Democratic senators, according to several Democratic sources.

However, former Navy Secretary John Lehman, a Republican appointee who also attended the meeting, said in an e-mail to The Hill that he told the senators the White House has been fully cooperative.

Democrats suspect President Bush, who met privately with the Saudi Arabian ambassador, Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, on the morning of Sept. 13, 2001, may have personally authorized the controversial flights, several of which took place when all other U.S. commercial air travel had been halted.

The White House communications office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Not only was it AFTER 9/11 it was during the time planes were grounded. The man who wrote the below story is dead now. I live a little over an hour away from Sarasota and remembered this story from the time of the attack. It was difficult to find... and that usually mean some 'intel' bunch is making it disappear. A large group of Sauds left AFTER the attack.

Of course it was Bush, the arab’s literal hand-holder. As Truman said, “The buck stops (t)here.”

[ladyjane]

You are absolutely right. Planeloads of Saudi Arabians left from Boston, including members of Osama’s family who lived on the water near the airport. That probably happened in many other cities as well.

I have a professor friend who was teaching a couple of classes filled with Saudi students. Those students never came back to class after 9/11.

[GOPJ]

The Bush people are the biggest Never Trumpers in the country. Maybe there’s a connection between the corruption in the ‘intelligence services’ and the Bush family. Seems a logical connection. The Sauds were known for giving big bucks to ... ‘groups’... and it was Bush who got them out of the US AND this story is almost impossible to fine = even in Google search....

[Lumper20]

The Bush family is pure trash to me. SR. goes to my favorite sport parachute club to USE SF NCO’s for his free tandem “punk” jump. Yes, I despise the Bush family.

[GOPJ]

Jeb’s a never Trumper ... that makes him a sore loser...

[GOPJ]

Mueller seems to have a history of being a politically corrupt bureaucrat.

I think he was a good man who was played for a fool...

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>I don’t understand why we aren’t seeing any of this in the conservative press. All we hear is the myth that Mueller is an honorable man. Clearly that isn’t the case.<<

In cases such as this, MONEY and BLACKMAIL are usually the best bets.
