Wolf Demands FBI Punish Agents For CAIR Contact IPT, September 19, 2013
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 a telephone 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 is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee’s subcommittee
responsible for the FBI’s budget. He noted that the investigation only
focused on incidents involving three field offices – Chicago,
Philadelphia and New Haven, Conn., so the depth of the problem still is
not known.
The Los Angeles SAC, Wolf added, 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.”
That’s what happened in New Haven, the report finds. As the IPT reported
in 2011, officials in the field office helped organize a community
outreach program knowing that two local CAIR officials were involved.
Rather than hold to the FBI policy, they agreed to conceal their role in
organizing the event. In addition, the Inspector General found, the
Office of Public Affairs advised the field office that the interaction
was okay.
In 2010, Attorney General Eric Holder was asked
whether there was any “new evidence that exonerates CAIR from the
allegations that it provides financial support to designated terrorist
organizations.”
“No,” said a written reply from Holder.
Then-FBI Director Robert Mueller publicly reaffirmed the policy in two separate appearances before Congress a year later, saying “We have no formal relationship with CAIR.”
“There should have been no confusion about this policy,” Wolf wrote,
“given the bureau guidance, Congressional direction and media coverage
surrounding this directive.” Horowitz seemed to agree. He faults the FBI
for failing to provide “effective oversight to ensure compliance with
the policy.”
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.
Those are among the things that make the FBI question “whether there
continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS”
and bar interaction between its agents and the group. Perhaps the
Inspector General’s report will prompt field office officials to stop
ignoring their own leaders and the information gathered by their fellow
agents.

I should have added that the FBI should not be dealing with CÀIR due to its terror contacts and subtle agenda i thank Wolf for calling on the FBi to be committed to its true role and not to political correctness

CAIR wants Americans to roll over, so it can hasten the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan to take over our country. It is amazing that CAIR’s terrorists ties have not yet landed its leaders in prison. But until that time, CAIR’s leaders are working overtime to establish sharia law and to dismantle our right to free speech.
John Jamason, who works in Florida’s government as a county media official, once posted: “Never forget. There is no such thing as radical Islam. All Islam is radical. There may be Muslims who don’t practice their religion, much like others. The Quran is a book that preaches hate.”
His comments relating to Islam were private and not made during work or on county equipment. Still Florida’s CAIR is arguing his post could affect Jamason’s ability to work with other employees or respond to Muslim residents.
This is outrageous and infringes on an American’s right to free speech. But CAIR follows the same ideology as the Islamic Fascist States of the UN, who want to muzzle free speech in the West.
Bare Naked Islam has a story up about it here:

The whole of the West is already covertly under Sharia. The evidence is everywhere when people as the link shows inf the US and EU are arrested for anti-Islamic comments on FB and twitter or wherever. Just as they are in Muslim countries . Free speech already is muzzled. if we were not under Sharia this would not even be happening
.
In Germany German judges are forced to implement Sharia when dealing with Muslims :

Unless there is concrete proof the agents acted against orders, why punish those who are at the bottom of the toting pole? Where they following orders from the head of the FBI, following orders from the Attorney General?
Why not look at the top? The head of organizations are ultimately responsible for the actions of those under them.

Unfortunately my representative is Jim Moran, but I’m quite proud as a Virginian to have Mr. Wolf represent part of Northern Virginia (not the useful idiots in my district.)

I told you at the time it was all BS.
Forever Beholden to Islam means just that.
Who is surprised?
They, along with DOD and many others are COMPLETELY INFILTRATED.

Exactly Charles, men at the bottom work on orders, but are usually used as scape goats!
