“Salman’s lawyers allege the new revelation prevented them from investigating whether or not Seddique Mateen knew of his son’s plans to attack the nightclub. According to the motion, defense lawyers allege that the decision not to give Noor Salman a polygraph was possibly ‘based on the FBI’s desire to implicate Noor Salman, rather than Seddique Mateen in order to avoid scrutiny of its own ineptitude with the latter. Mateen’s father played a significant role in the FBI’s decision not to seek an indictment from the Justice Department for false statements to the FBI or obstruction of justice against Omar Mateen’ during its 2013 investigation into his alleged threats, the motion stated.”
Salman’s lawyers are unlikely to remind the court of this, but Seddique Mateen also told reporters not long after the massacre that Salman was “no longer here.” She wasn’t found until months later. Did Seddique Mateen help her disappear? Did he know where she was? If feds ever questioned him about this, that fact was not publicized.
And why did Seddique Mateen show up at a Hillary Clinton rally last summer, prominently positioned for the cameras right behind the candidate? After all, he was an open supporter of the Taliban, and the morning after the murders, he posted online a video in which he claimed that he was “not aware what motivated” Omar to “go into a gay club and kill 50 people,” but then he added: “God will punish those involved in homosexuality,” as it is “not an issue that humans should deal with.” Wasn’t this someone Hillary Clinton would have wanted to run from? Was this ineptitude on her campaign’s part? Or something else?
In any case, this is yet more evidence of the deep corruption of the FBI. This thoroughly compromised organization needs to be thoroughly and impartially investigated, and if necessary to protect the American people, shut down.
“Father of Pulse gunman was FBI informant, widow’s attorneys say,” CBS News, March 26, 2018:
ORLANDO, Fla. – Attorneys for the widow of Pulse nightclub gunman Omar Mateen are calling for a mistrial after they say prosecutors revealed that Mateen’s father was an FBI informant. CBS affiliate WKMG reports that prosecutors sent an email on Saturday that stated Seddique Mateen was a confidential FBI source from 2005 until 2016, according to a motion filed by the defense.
Omar Mateen’s widow, Noor Salman, is on trial in federal court on charges of aiding and abetting her husband, obstruction of justice and lying to federal agents. If convicted, she could get life in prison.
Her husband killed 49 people and injured at least 68 others when he opened fire inside Pulse on June 12, 2016 before he was shot to death by police.
WKMG reports that the email sent by prosecutors stated that Seddique Mateen is also being investigated for money transfers to Turkey and Pakistan.

This is disgusting. the FBI is corrupt
jan sobieski says
It is disgusting. The FBI is full of idiots, useful idiots for the enemy. How inept and incompetent. The Parkland fiasco, the Boston Bombers, the Texas Mo Art attack – all show disgusting incompetence.

….and we have had several incidents of nutty students in Florida killing off fellow students who telegraphed their intentions on media under the nose of the FBI.
mortimer says
Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you WHAT you are. The Clintons were in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood and wealthy Arabs who supported terrorism.
The Clinton policy was to LOOK THE OTHER WAY when terrorists struck and then if ignoring terrorism didn’t work, they DENIED the connection of terrorism to jihad.
The Muslim Brotherhood subsequently mounted a huge propaganda campaign aimed at Western countries and especially the US to WHITEWASH JIHAD-TERRORISM and present JIHAD as a benign self-improvement or spiritual renewal in the spirit of the Golden Rule.
The Golden Rule is absent from Islam, but rather it is precluded and made null and void by the JIHAD doctrine and the KAFIR doctrine.

So Al Gore owned Al Jazeera for how long?

He invented the Al Jazeera.

Not quite–he sold his channel, Current TV, to Al Jazeera America. Disgusting, but he did not invent this station. It is Qatari.

IF THIS IS NOT A TREMENDOUS SECURITY ISSUE DISCUSSED IN THE MEDIA AS PART OF INFILTRATION OF FBI BY ENEMY, WE ARE DONE AS A FREE NATION.
Ray Jarman says
It is important to remember that the Hussein administration forced the FBI and other Homeland Security agencies to remove all references to the cult as to profiling those who would have been on the radar screen in the past. Robert Spencer talks about this in many of his online opines and now that McMasters is out and Ambassador Bolton is in at the NSC, perhaps our prayers will be answered and the needed tools for our security agencies will be provided with the information but more importantly, the permission to monitor people when there is a hint of jihad. I hope that the mosques of perdition is monitored ever time some mullah spews his hatred.

If I remember correctly Robert Mueller was head of the FBI, when a lot of FBI revisions were demanded by the inkwan, and Mueller complied with the demands. Thus robbing the FBI of proper training on islamic terrorism. A DEEP STATE SWAMP creature. (STS).

What is Brian hoff–really, “DefenderofIslam”–babbling about now?
Troybeam says
What the FBI needs is a total makeover, get rid of each and every person who put Islam first before the nation, do not care if they are informants, take out all Muslim employees: why…because the Koran states a Muslim cannot serve a foreign government therefore Muslims only interest is to serve Islam with inside information to any and all Islamic groups, do not care if they were born in America, once a person accepts Islam they reject their nationality and must serve under Islam’s theocracy sharia law. Take notice of all Muslims sworn in to elected office where the Koran is used, this is against America, it shuns America all due to the person being sworn in will adhere to sharia and try and instill sharia by being in any and all elected positions.
