The Department of Justice is scrubbing references of radical Islamic beliefs from the transcripts of calls Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen made to police during his massacre, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Sunday.
A partial transcript of the conversations between authorities and Mateen, who killed 49 and wounded 53 in the June 12 attack at a Florida gay nightclub, is set to be released on Monday. But Lynch, who appeared on numerous Sunday talk shows, said the transcripts will not include Mateen's oath of loyalty to ISIS or any other religious justification for the attack.

yeah Lynch can’t say Radical Islam either.
Oh, kinda like the Confederacy never existed and being erased because it might cause a snowflake to melt?
Scrub, scrub, scrub!
So 0bama can blame the gun.
Not islam.
Like you, I find myself increasingly at a loss for words. Every time this administration comments on anything, I just shake my head in wonderment. Meanwhile, the speaker of the house threatens to sue Donald Trump if he places a moratorium on immigration from certain Muslim areas...
Even Lynetta is endorsing Trump!
This is so great!
No word from the feckless GOP Congress.
And you think they are actually going to do a thorough investigation of the Grifters? Dream on. These people could care less about truth or honesty and neither can their press sycophants.
HUGE BACKLASH from public and Media they had to reverse course!!! NOW we NEED to get this viral the revised 911 calls!!!
email to my Texas Congressmen demanding I hear the unedited version.
It is public record paid for by public funds.
I want the TRUTH!
Where’s Mussolini hangin’ out these days...?
It's still a transcript, and not the actual voice recording... and they still substituted "God" for "Allah" throughout it.
...like with a cloth?
It’s still altered.
Where are you seeing it? Link?
This is a perversion of the Glomar Exemption, not to avoid releasing National Security data, but to protect the victims from being re-injured by hearing the phone calls. So, Lynch not only wanted to over-ride local/state FOIA laws, but also wanted to re-write the public record (substituting God for Allah) - Stalin would be so proud.
Inexcusable. If “Allah” is uttered in an English sentence, it is completely illegitimate to translate that one word. A transcript is a transcript. It would be different if the original wording and [a translation] were both given. Disgusting.
Well we know they did it.
We know the real transcripts.
