Why did the White House just humiliate Loretta Lynch?
Idiotic: That’s the only word for the Obama administration’s move to scrub references to Islam or ISIS from the transcripts of Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen’s calls.
Under an avalanche of ridicule, the Justice Department on Monday relented and released the full transcripts. But what was the point? Everyone already knew that he’d pledged allegiance to ISIS and its “caliph.”
It’s also idiocy déjà vu: Four years ago, Team Obama made then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice tour all the Sunday shows to blame the deadly Benghazi attack on an Internet video, rather than on the terrorist plot they all knew it was. She looked a fool once the administration finally admitted the truth, just as Loretta Lynch does now.
It makes you wonder: Who at the White House feels compelled to send women of color out to humiliate themselves on national TV?
I frequently hear Muslims say "God" when speaking English, particularly American-born Muslims. So I don't think we know what he said until someone who has heard the audio testifies to it.
“In the name of God, the merciful, the beneficial,” Omar Mateen began inArabic ... “Praise be to God. And prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God. [NowinEnglish] I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.”
In that context, with who he pledged allegiance to, with what he planned to do, I'll go out on a limb and say he used the word "Allah."
I suppose the FBI translator is of the view that translated to English, Allah=God; using the word Allah might provoke anti-Islamic sentiments and confuse everyone.
The FBI has now released the full transcript apparently.
NOPE - that's just more Propaganda because of the Incomimg Heat over the "edits".
I've followed every Link, and NONE of them lead to an Unredacted Transscript.
This is the FBI statement that the Links eventually lead to:
ORLANDO – In order to provide an update on the progress of the investigation into the Pulse nightclub shooting, the FBI is releasing an excerpt from the timeline of events inside the Pulse nightclub during the early morning hours of Sunday, June 12, 2016. Out of respect for the victims of this horrific tragedy, law enforcement will not be releasing audio of the shooter’s 911 calls at this time,nor will law enforcement be releasing audio or transcripts of the calls made by victims at the Pulse nightclub during the incident. Furthermore, the name of the shooter and that of the person/group to whom he pledged allegiance are omitted.
It's just more Razzle-Dazzle Flim Flam for the Gruber'd.
The Negotiations went on for 3 hours ... They "released" a few sentences. They think we are all stupid.
Gruber taught them that is the case - the Low Knformation Voter will believe any and everything that the Leftists issue in their Daily Talking Points.
On some level, I feel sorry for these people. Mostly, I just think they deserve the misery of their Snowflake Perception of Perpetual Victimhood. I always feel sorry for their children that are raised in this poisonous Environment of perpetual Victimhood.
I've followed every Link, and NONE of them lead to an Unredacted Transscript.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't found the so-called unredacted transcript. I see a lot more of what the FBI says was spoken about in general terms than what Mateen said. I think the next excuse will move to 'the investigation is ongoing,' 'sensitive info' realm.
He did post this to his Facebook page in the middle of murdering people, so I'm going to take a leap of faith and say he used the same language.
Quote:
“America and Russia stop bombing the Islamic state..I pledge my alliance to [Islamic State leader] abu bakr al Baghdadi ..may Allah accept me,” Omar Mateen wrote, according to the letter, which requested Facebook’s assistance in the investigation into the shooting that resulted in 49 deaths.
Mateen then posted, according to the letter: “The real muslims will never accept the filthy ways of the west” and “You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes..now taste the Islamic state vengeance.”
I think we also heard reports from some of the survivors who stated as much, but have no time to go digging and looking for those.
Wait...just last week Obama said it was no big deal using the words Islamic terrorism, but now it's a big deal again to try & be obscure about language concerning Islam. We all know that in reality he's nothing but a radical leftist hypocrite.
I'm pretty sure that 911 call came thru to the Orlando P D or its affiliate Sheriff's Office and not the FBI. Therefore, under Florida's public records law, since that 911 call came over communications systems and operators paid by Florida's taxpayers, the 911 call recording(s) can be released in whole upon a public records request. Chapter 119 is pretty clear on this and because it is a state-funded and paid for system supported by taxpayer dollars it can be released whether the feds like it or not. These recordings will be gotten and released when obtained by the subsequent civil litigation sure to follow
