FBI Director Testifies in Front of Congress They Cut Off Ties With CAIR Over Groups Leadership…
Certainly didn’t stop the MSM from fawning all over CAIR during last week’s King hearings on radical Islam in America.In stunning testimony on Capitol Hill, the head of the FBI explained his agency has cut off ties to the most influential Muslim organization in America due to concerns over its leaders’ association with terrorism.
Since the Justice Department linked the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations to a 2008 terror-finance case, the FBI has refused to work directly with the group’s national office or any of its 30-plus chapters across the country.
Wednesday’s hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee marked the first time FBI Director Robert Mueller has narrowed down the cause of concern to CAIR’s “national leadership.”
“We have no formal relationship with CAIR because of concerns with regard to the national leadership,” Mueller testified.
CAIR’s current executive director is Nihad Awad.
Wiretap evidence from the Holy Land Foundation terror-finance case put Awad at a Philadelphia meeting of Hamas leaders that was secretly recorded by the FBI. Participants hatched a plot to disguise payments to Hamas terrorists as charity. Wiretaps also record them stating the need to deceive Americans about their true aims.
House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, said he was dismayed FBI headquarters only recently cut off outreach to CAIR, when its case agents had gathered evidence of the tax-exempt group’s terrorist ties years earlier.
“I’m just surprised that it took the evidence that the FBI had being introduced at trial in order to sever the relationship with CAIR,” Gohmert said.
