The Department of Justice and the FBI has released the unredacted version of the Orlando shooters 911 call after tons of outcry for redacting references to ISIS.
Republicans by the score ripped the White House over politically correct concerns, and Paul Ryan demanded the unredacted version be released.
Heres the full transcript, without the omissions:
OD: Emergency 911, this is being recorded.
OM: In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficent [Arabic]
OD: What?
OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [Arabic]. I wanna let you know, Im in Orlando and I did the shootings.
OD: Whats your name?
OM: My name is I pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State.
OD: Ok, Whats your name?
OM: I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [Arabic], on behalf of the Islamic State.
OD: Alright, where are you at?
OM: In Orlando.
OD: Where in Orlando?
[End of call.]
As you can see, the redacted parts were clearly about ISIS, which everyone knew already.
This is the explanation given by the DOJ/FBI for why they redacted it in the first place and why they reversed:
The purpose of releasing the partial transcript of the shooters interaction with 911 operators was to provide transparency, while remaining sensitive to the interests of the surviving victims, their families, and the integrity of the ongoing investigation. We also did not want to provide the killer or terrorist organizations with a publicity platform for hateful propaganda. Unfortunately, the unreleased portions of the transcript that named the terrorist organizations and leaders have caused an unnecessary distraction from the hard work that the FBI and our law enforcement partners have been doing to investigate this heinous crime. As much of this information had been previously reported, we have re-issued the complete transcript to include these references in order to provide the highest level of transparency possible under the circumstances.

Unnecessary Distraction?
Still not an honest transcription. A transcription will reveal the precise words used in the recording.
Not one “Allah”?
All hail the mighty Paul Ryan.
Still misleading, The proper translation God [Arabic] should say Allah
“Unfortunately, the unreleased portions of the transcript that named the terrorist organizations and leaders have caused an unnecessary distraction from the hard work that the FBI and our law enforcement partners have been doing to investigate “
Explain this.
So this IS NOT the correct version the CALLER said ALLAH NOT GOD!!! These people are despicable !!!!
Even their retractions are lies.
they changed god to allah. Its still bad
The Justice Department changed all references to Allah to “God.”
Try again MSM. That’s not it.
Unnecessarily transparently pro-jihadi.
The administration is being pushed toward actually admitting who the “enemy” is.
I don’t think they’re going to admit that. They’re the enemy.
ALLAH GOD AKBAR !!
He said allah, not god. Didnt redact them fully.
