Attorneys for Noor Salman are calling for a dismissal of charges or a mistrial after they say new details from prosecutors reveal that Pulse gunman Omar Mateen’s father was an FBI informant who is currently under a criminal investigation.

According to a motion filed by the defense, Assistant US Attorney Sara Sweeney sent an email on Saturday to the defense — in the middle of the Salman’s trial — that stated Seddique Mateen was a confidential FBI source from 2005 through June 2016.

The email also stated that Seddique Mateen is being investigated for money transfers to Turkey and Pakistan after documents were found in his home on the day of the Pulse attack.

The revelation threatens to upend the case against Salman, the wife of Omar Mateen who is on trial for charges related to the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida in June 2016

I used to think the Sandy Hook conspiracy people were crazy, now I think they are spot-on!

“I used to think the Sandy Hook conspiracy people were crazy, now I think they are spot-on!”

As Trump continues to expose the FBI/DOJ actions, nothing that is said about them should be ignored as kook talk.

Back in the 90s when the militia movement was at its height, the most vocal people who constantly advocated action were the informants and undercover agents. Most White Supremacist organizations are so heavily infiltrated with agents and informants that you wonder if there are really any members at all. I’m sure that other terrorist organizations are the same. Most arrests for terrorist activities are due to someone trying to buy supplies from an FBI or ATF agent. America would probably be quite safe if the Feds stopped trying to catch “the big fish” by facilitating and supplying all the little fish.

The poking and prodding the FBI does to allegedly try to entrap terrorists is a bit like running around a dry forrest with a lighted match to see if any trees catch fire.

Reminds me of the old joke. How do you know who the FBI informant is at the KKK rally? “He’s the one with the dynamite”.

And the connection always pre-dates the shooting. It's almost as if they try to facilitate these things rather than prevent them.

Yep. I can't imagine where all the conspiracy theories come from...../s

This woman assisted the worst mass murder in US history and she was not arrested until after trump’s election because Obama did not want to acknowledge that family members cover up terrorist crimes. A despicable scandal.

Because the FBI is behind almost all of them, Yes that is how cynical I have become

It's not cynicism. It's a realistic admission of how evil our feral government has become.

Always an FBI connection....

FBI knew about the Florida school shooter and did nothing

Sheriff knew about him....did nothing and stood down the day of the event despite national criteria to “go to the shooter”.

Hogg kid is son of a retired FBI agent and Trump-hating CNN employee.

Protests are all in place within 48 hours.

All the hallmarks of a false flag to promote the Dems and their agenda.

This is pretty much common knowledge. The way you identify FBI informants is simply to look for the ones advocating violence. A militia is, by its nature, primarily a defensive organization. (as in "for the common defense") Anyone attempting to change that is most likely a government plant attempting to entrap or kill someone.

In case anyone forgot we’ve long been conditioned by the media and establishment elites etc to consider all conspiracy theory talk a dirty word and anti-American, if not outright evil. They want us gullible instead of doing critical thinking on their bull crap.

couple questions:
1. suppose the money transferred “back home” were payment for services rendered by his son?
2. was siddique mateen pictured sitting near stage in the special guests section of one of hildabeast’s florida rallys back during the campaign?

just askin.

So, if they were working for the FBI, that is reason to put the FBI in the middle of the election conspiracy again.

This is the man who sat behind Hillary Clinton at a campaign rally she held just weeks after his son committed this mass murder of homosexuals

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

thank you for answering my question from a later post!

I guess the money the old man wired back home was a reward for his boy’s jihad attack??

Excellent Analogy!:

She was not hiding! The FBI was hiding the fact that they knew she was living with relatives in the SF Bay area after her husband’s mass murders in Floriduh! They probably flew her out here.

Thanks for posting the reality versus CNN’s bs Fake news about the Florida school shooter:

Always an FBI connection....

FBI knew about the Florida school shooter and did nothing

Sheriff knew about him....did nothing and stood down the day of the event despite national criteria to “go to the shooter”.

Hogg kid is son of a retired FBI agent and Trump-hating CNN employee.

Protests are all in place within 48 hours.

All the hallmarks of a false flag to promote the Dems and their agenda.
