Omar Mateen, Terrorist Who Attacked Orlando Gay Club, Had Been Investigated by FBI
Daily Beast ^ | June 12, 2016 | Michael Daly, Justin Miller and Kate Zavadski

Posted on 06/12/2016 8:32:20 AM PDT by Zakeet

Mateen was a 'known quantity' to federal law enforcement before he killed 53 people in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

Omar Mateen of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, came to the attention of federal authorities twice prior to being identified as the gunman in the Orlando nightclub mass shooting, a senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast.

The senior law enforcement source reports that Mateen became a person of interest in 2013 and again in 2014. The Federal Bureau of Investigation at one point opened an investigation on Mateen but subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.

"He's a known quantity," the source said. "He's been on the radar before."

The gunman is said by the source to have been born in New York and to have been married for a time to a woman from New Jersey. His father, Seddique Mateen, appears to reside in Florida, but is said to be presently running for office in Afghanistan.

It appears that the muzzies are now prepared with rapid-response offense/defense propaganda teams immediately after a mass shooting....and actually granted a sounding-board of their own right along with the FBI, L/E and state and local officials in the ensuing press conferences.

An outrage. And we can thank that half-wit in the WH for that....and this.

==========================================

The radical left attacks Trump for being a racist because he plans on controlling Muslim immigration into this country. According to the cockamamie thinking of the left, any President who does his constitutional duty by protecting the nation from Muslim butchers is a racist.

AND GET THIS: Obama stooge, DHS Secy 'Jeh' Johnson fatuously stating that Muslim immigrants have been successfully assimilated into American society. So, Jeh...how'd they do that?

-Back in October 2011 one of the most astute lawmen in Washington, Cong Louis Gohmert (Repub-TX), a former judge, questioned then-DHS Secy Janet Napolitano about Mohamed Elibiary, a member of the Department of Homeland Security Council (DHS) with a high level security clearance.

Elibiary allegedly accessed, illegally, from his home computer, a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database.....(Elibiary was ousted from the Homeland Security Advisory Council for shady activities---and settled in Texas).

Napolitano managed to unglue her lips from Obama's behind---and told Cong Gohmert she knew nothing about it, and that she would "personally" do the investigation. (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

=========================================================

Obama gave 5 MILLION federal hires Obama top security clearance.

======================================================

The following have top US security clearance

Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development;

Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security
Advisory Council (ousted for using his home computer
to tap into a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database
;

Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference;

Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC);

Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA);

Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

==================================================

Estimates range from several thousand to approximately eight million Islamic fighters inside the United States as we type. The exact number is unknown. Several thousand could create havoc if a coordinated attack was to occur. keep in mind, on 9/11, just 19 Islamic fighters and hijackers killed almost three thousand people. One has to believe the worst case scenario----that nearly eight million are already here....and being welcomed by Obama.

========================================================

Cong Michelle Bachman says the FBI told her Americans who joined ISIS are allowed back in the US.

===============================================

Soon... let's see. This POS was on the FBI's radar, vetted (I guess), and look what happened. Imagine the millions who are coming into this country right now with no vetting at all?!

Wanna see the near future of terrorism in the United States? Read this:

You WILL buy guns and ammo to confront the Muslim enemy who will be conducting a ground war in our schools, neighborhoods and highways.

Good. He'll have to leave the US and take the family with him.

First instinct is that the family knew he was up to something, and would be in jail by now. For just a minute, I forgot his arrest would be hateful, and Obama would not approve of a fellow religion of pieces adherent to be persecuted.

So, the Father is running for office in Afghanistan. Wonder if he has US backing?

Obviously, the feds aren’t doing their job to protect America.

They were doing their job of protecting radical nut-jobs against profiling. Nothing to see here, move along.

no.amount of rainbow floodlights on the Whitehouse will protect them

Meanwhile Obama and his cohorts have been providing cover for these murderers, while importing more of them.

FT HOOD was only work place violence...but I don't know what they'll call this...

Obama and Valerie will shine more rainbow lights and invite them all into the bathrooms...

We are ONE election away from losing the country.
This time it is not just the middle class losing ground as was the case in 2012, but shedding blood of countless innocent Americans to the Radical Islamists.

Have our leaders no shame?

Excellent information Liz. Thank you for posting this. The world must take their collective heads out of the sand and wake up. This is reality.
