Court Revelation: Pulse Club Gunman's Dad Was FBI Informant
Fox ^ | 03/26/18

Posted on 03/26/2018 2:28:52 PM PDT by Enlightened1

The government has revealed only now that the Pulse nightclub shooter's father was an FBI informant for 11 years before the attack, lawyers for his widow said Monday.

They said prosecutors also told them in an email Saturday that the government found evidence on the day of the attack that Omar Mateen's father, Seddique Mateen, had been sending money to Afghanistan and Turkey, and that he had been accused of raising money to fund violence against the government of Pakistan.

Noor Salman's lawyers said the new information - shared only after prosecutors rested their case - should result in a mistrial or an outright dismissal of the charges against her. The judge didn't immediately rule on the defense's motion, and the U.S. Attorney's office declined to comment on the developments.

Salman, now 31 and the mother of a small child, is being tried in federal court in Orlando. She is accused of helping her husband plan his June 2016 attack at the gay nightclub in Orlando, where he killed 49 people.

In court on Monday, an FBI agent testified that they considered trying to develop Omar Mateen as an informant, like his father, after investigating him in 2013 and finding he didn't have ties to terrorism.

Salman's lawyers say the government's belated disclosure about Mateen's father and his ties to the FBI has prevented them from exploring the possibilities that Seddique Mateen was more directly involved, and that Salman may have been framed to hide the government's mistakes.

What is clear is that the federal government's failure to disclose these details is keeping her from getting a fair trial, her attorneys said.

The government's "violations in this case have placed Ms. Salman, the jury, and this Court in a dark wood where the search for truth has been thwarted,"

Now I thought the Orlando shooter was motivated by his father?

Furthermore, remember when the Father was at campaign event for Hillary?

For his cooperation with the FBI, double agent Matten’s dad got a first row seat at a Hillary event right behind her on camera.

Who says the FBI can’t be useful?

This sounds like deep state involvement manipulating crazies and orchestrating their atrocities. Political purposes?

My God the FBI needs to be eliminated. They are nothing more than a criminal enterprise.

Americans have become familiar with the term “deep state” and most people polled now believe that it is true. Now let us work on a new vocabulary word for today “false flag”.

Whenever the FBI is mentioned, everything they touch is suspect. Their reputation has been thoroughly trashed.
