Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) has had it with the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood into the United States government and he’s now demanding punishment for all those who have engaged in conspiring with the enemies of the United States. Wolf recently called on the FBI to punish agents for their contact with the Council on American-Islamic Relations following the Department of Justice’s Inspector General’s report in which he bashed the FBI for working with CAIR in violation of Congress.
IPT reports:
On a day when the Council on American-Relations (CAIR) issued a report accusing its critics of bigotry, a Justice Department investigation reminds the public why CAIR does not merit the public’s trust.Inspector General Michael Horowitz found a series of incidents in which FBI field offices knowingly engaged in outreach activity with CAIR despite a 2008 policy banning non-investigative cooperation with the Islamist group. Only a summary of the report has been released publicly. The rest is considered classified, but has been made available to Congress.The ban on interactions with CAIR, first reported by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, resulted from an FBI investigation into a Muslim Brotherhood-created Hamas-support network in the United States.Internal documents seized by the FBI show that CAIR and its founders, Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad, were a part of that network known as the Palestine Committee. Both men appear on atelephone list of Palestine Committee members (Awad is listed under a pseudonym “Omar Yehya), and CAIR is listed on a meeting agenda listing the committee’s branches.“[U] ntil we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS,” an FBI official wrote in 2009, “the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner.”But several FBI field office agents-in-charge balked at the policy, the Inspector General’s report finds, and the FBI’s Office of Public Affairs repeatedly offered field offices conflicting information. Despite a series of electronic communications explaining the CAIR ban – it does not apply to criminal investigations or civil rights complaints – issued from August-December 2008, and despite a mandatory meeting for Special Agents in Charge (SAC) of field offices, the head of the Los Angeles FBI office told his agents to ignore FBI headquarters.“[W]e will decide how our relationship is operated and maintained with CAIR barring some additional instruction from FBI Headquarters,” the Los Angeles SAC wrote. “Please instruct your folks at this time that are not to abide by the … [policy] but that their direction in regards to CAIR will come from the LA Field Office front office.”In a scathing letter to new FBI Director James Comey, U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., called the violations “intolerable” and demanded punishment for those responsible, including “separation from the FBI.”
Wolf also said that the Los Angeles SAC exhibited “unacceptable and insubordinate behavior from a senior leader of the FBI.”
“Despite repeated efforts to communicate the policy to the field,” Wolf wrote, “this was undermined by conflicting guidance being inexplicably offered by the bureau’s Office of Public Affairs as well as outright violations from several field offices.”
Attorney General Eric Holder had affirmed in 2010 that there was no new evidence that exonerated CAIR from allegations that if finances designated terrorist organizations.
Also, then –FBI Director Robert Mueller also reaffirmed, not once, but twice, the FBI’s policy before Congress a year later.
“There should have been no confusion about this policy,” Wolf wrote, “given the bureau guidance, Congressional direction and media coverage surrounding this directive.”
IG Horowitz agrees with Wolf and faulted the FBI for failing to provide “effective oversight to ensure compliance with the policy.”
IPT adds:
In addition to avoiding interaction with a bad actor, the ban on CAIR contact is meant to prevent the group from touting its connections with law enforcement as a way to enhance its image. That’s exactly what happened in Philadelphia in 2010, the Inspector General’s report found. A local CAIR official was invited to an FBI “Citizen’s Academy” program despite the FBI policy’s specific reference to the program as off-limits to CAIR representatives.“A few days later,” the report said, “CAIR-Philadelphia posted an article on its website describing its participation in the training program, with a link to the FBI’s website.”While it boasted about FBI contact in this case, CAIR officials more often disseminate a message of fear to Muslim Americans, portraying FBI agents as ruthless and corrupt – willing to do anything to set up innocent Muslims. One CAIR chapter urged Muslims to “Build a Wall of Resistance” from the FBI and not cooperate in criminal investigations.The policy did not come out of the blue. Awad, picked up on FBI recordings of Palestine Committee meetings, remains CAIR’s executive director. He has never acknowledged his relationship with the Hamas-support network, and therefore, never disavowed it. In a 2003 deposition, he claimed not to remember whether he attended a weekend-long Palestine Committee meeting in Philadelphia called to discuss ways to “derail” American peacemaking efforts between Israel and the Palestinians. The group also talked at length about how to deceive Americans by hiding their Hamas support.
So let’s be clear about this. This is exactly the methods Islamists use known as Taqiyya. They lie and deceive to further their caliphate. This is also why we continually refer to CAIR as Hamas-CAIR. They are a terrorist organization because that is what they support. I realize they say certain things, but it’s what they do that is at issue.
Congressman Wolf is right in demanding the punishment be rendered on those working with the enemies of America, but I have gone much further in calling for the immediate termination of all Islamic immigration into the United States. I additionally call for the removal of any and all Muslims from the federal government, including the one in the White House, CIA Director John Brennan, as well as various other Muslims in positions of power in the federal government.
If you believe in what Congressman Wolf is demanding as I do, contact your representatives and demand they support his efforts.
