Feinstein: Orlando Shooting ‘Really a National Security Issue,’ Not ‘a Gun Control Issue’
by Trent Baker 19 June 2016

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the Orlando shooting was not a “gun control issue,” but more of a “national security issue.


Partial transcript as follows:

“We have worked with the Justice Department in drafting this legislation and the justice has sent a letter supporting it, and said it gives them a new tool, I do not believe Mr. Lapierre is correct on this. Let me say this, John, this is really a national security issue. It isn’t a gun control issue. Let me explain why. The FBI has about a thousand ongoing investigations. John Brennan told the intelligence committee on Thursday in open hearing that ISIL actively pursuing operations to commit attacks in the west and bring people into western countries, whether it’s through immigration, whether it’s over the border or it’s any other way.”

“Fact of the matter is that is well-known that terrorist can come into this country, they do not — they are not on the nix, list which is the database of ten situations where you can deny gun. They’re not there, and therefore buy a gun legally in this country. What this legislation does is give the attorney general the authority that if there is reasonable suspicion that the person, when they do the background check, is a potential terrorist, the gun sale can be denied. It also has an appeal process, an administrative appeal process as well as a legal process.”

After much criticism this morning, the FBI and DOJ released an unredacted transcript one of the 911 calls Omar Mateen made, where he pledged allegiance to ISIS:

Loretta Lynch admits FBI doesn’t know whereabouts of Orlando shooter’s wife

Written by Matt Palumbo on June 22, 2016

A good deal of attention has rightly been directed to Noor Salman, the wife of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen.

We know she’s scoped out locations with Mateen on multiple occasions, and attempted to defend herself by assuring us she’d tried to talk him out of the attacks. Perhaps she didn’t realize she’d just confessed to withholding information from authorities that would’ve saved 49 lives.

She may face charges – and she seems pretty certain of that, because she’s completely disappeared, and since been added to the no-fly list. As for her whereabouts, as Gabrien reports:

Attorney General Loretta Lynch admitted today that the FBI is unaware of the whereabouts of Omar Mateen’s wife, Noor Salman.

Salman has indicated she suspected Mateen was about to commit a terrorist attack, and even accompanied him to buy the weaponry he used to carry out the massacre. She insists, however, that as he left she tried to hold onto his arm so he wouldn’t leave.

If the FBI believes she was aware of the impending attack, she could be prosecuted.

( Why wouldn't she ... MSM kept blasting it ... )


“Has the shooter’s wife left the state of Florida?” a reporter asked Lynch during her press conference Tuesday.

“Right now, I don’t know exactly the answer to that,” Lynch candidly replied. “I believe she was going to travel but I do not know exactly her location now.”

Yeah – when you have a potential criminal at large it’s a pretty good idea to keep tabs on where they’re traveling. I guess everyone was too busy politicizing the tragedy to keep track of that.

Lynch Says FBI Didn’t Arrest Orlando Shooter Because “He Had The Right To Be A Radical"

http://myfreshnews.com/lynch-says-fb...radical-muslim

I also include Wounded Knee. Both massacred by their own government.

Except for 9-11, all of these attacks have taken place under the watch of democrats. Even so, Bush was only six months into his first term and evidence has been presented that the Clinton Administration has been informed of precursers to the event.

The attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941 occurred under the watch of a democrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, while he was figuring out ways to placate Japan, Germany, and Italy thus keeping the United States of America out of World War II. However, when pushed into war, we showed the world how butt kicking was done. Today the government is more concerned about butt kissing rather than butt kicking.

Obama Admin Tells Florida Agencies To Deny Public Records Requests On Orlando Attack

While Attorney General Loretta Lynch holds firm to her claim that the motive of Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen may never be known, http://dailycaller.com/2016/06/21/lo...-those-people/ the FBI is instructing Florida agencies that responded to the attack that night to deny requests for public records pertaining to the case.

Mateen called police several times during the three hour ordeal to declare his allegiance to ISIS, yet only a fraction of his discussions with authorities that night have been released to the public — first an edited version, than an unedited one.

In response to a lawsuit by local media seeking the release of the 911 audio, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office released a letter they got from the FBI instructing them to deny all requests for information and refer news outlets seeking information to the feds, the Orlando Sentinel reports. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...629-story.html

The letter reads, in part:

As you know, this is an active, on-going investigation being conducted by the FBI. The FBI considers information obtained from the state and local enforcement agencies in furtherance of its investigation to be evidence or potential evidence. Accordingly, the FBI is concerned that public disclosure of such records or information at this time will adversely affect our ability to effectively investigate the shooting and bring the matter to resolution; could endanger the safety of law enforcement officers, and other individuals who have participated in or are otherwise connected with the investigation; and risks unduly prejudicing any prosecutions that may result from the investigation.

The letter is signed by Paul Wysopal, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Tampa field office.

Those recordings and all records are public records under Florida law and are subject to freedom of information requests.

The “FBI doesn’t have the authority to hijack Florida’s constitution, which guarantees us a right of access to all non-exempt public records,” Barbara Petersen, President of the First Amendment Foundation, told the Orlando Sentinel.

On orders from the FBI, the city of Orlando has thus far refused to release any records, they say, “out of respect for the Pulse shooting victims and the families” and at the “direction of the FBI,” according to the Sentinel.

In the aftermath of the terrorist attack which left 49 people dead and 53 wounded, the White House shifted the narrative away from a terrorist attack to an attempt to impose gun control and claims of homophobia. Mateen was reported to have been a self-loathing gay man, but reports say the FBI has found zero evidence to substantiate that claim.

Orlando Shooter’s Mosque Demands Security,
Police Have Perfect Response

Posted on July 2, 2016

The Islamic Center of Fort Pierce produces devout jihadists who murder homosexuals, but they’re much more concerned with perceived Islamophobia.

Muslims worshipers at the mosque Omar Mateen attended before shooting 49 people to death in an Orlando nightclub claim they’re being terrorized by “Islamophobia.” In an attempt to crack down on what they believe are hate crimes, they told the sheriff’s office that they need police security at their mosque to feel safer. However, instead of caving to their demands, the police department gave a response they never expected to hear.

It never fails — every time Muslims butcher innocent civilians, the Muslim community expertly utilizes the victim card in order to never be responsible for their fellow jihadists, much less condemning the terrorists’ actions. Summoning crocodile tears and claiming they fear for their lives due to alleged “Islamophobia,” Muslims have once again made Islamic terror all about how bigoted non-Muslims are. Fortunately, their Islamic privilege wasn’t fooling the local police.

Mosque-goers at the same mosque in which Omar Mateen soaked up the violent commands against gays and unbelievers believe they are experiencing something much worse than the mass slaughter of infidels by devout Muslims like their own congregant. Claiming that they are suffering from perceived Islamophobia, the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce cited several alleged instances in which they were so afraid that they feared for their lives, according to Think Progress.

“Incidents started to happen — people started to drive by and shout racial slurs,” Wilfredo Ruiz said. “And last Friday, when worshippers were exiting their services during the rain, cars were driving by splashing them. These people do feel very insecure, and legitimately afraid for their safety.”

Believing this to be deserving of the taxpayer-funded police protection, the mosque approached the county sheriff’s office for a security detail to protect worshipers from offensive remarks and rogue puddles. You can imagine their surprise when the entitled Muslims didn’t get their way.

“At this time we have received no indication of safety concerns related to retaliation,” the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office stated. “At the time of the request, we were unable to provide sufficient personnel to grant the request due to other contractual obligations.”

The sheriff’s office added that security detail requests depend on staffing levels, which the department simply cannot provide since they are still too busy with the aftermath of the Orlando shooting carried out by their fellow congregant. In other words, the police would love to help, but you keep producing terrorists, which is a much more important detail requiring their full attention than your concern over hatred for producing said terrorists.
