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.

So tell me why they are still allowed to operate in the US of A? They should be told to pack up and trot on back to Mecca.
Oooooh, Barack isn’t going to like this.
Get these bastids either behind bars or a one-way ticket out of our country.
I am sick to death of this country bowing to them.
“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.
You’re kidding, right? Muslims are a government protected victim group. Up until very recently accusing muslims of anything but being patriotic was career suicide. Get your head out of your ass, congressman.

And yet….they are still operating here.
Gee, maybe I’ll go to Russia, establish an organization and tell the Russians not to worry – I only want to take over their country. I am sure they won’t mind. Really.
Is anyone surprised they are allowed to stay here? Up until this presidency, I would have been surprised……….
Jamaat Ul Fuqra was removed from the FBI terrorist watch list with really no explanation. They are allowed to own multiple compounds around the US and these are the ones we know about, there are more than likely, others. They set up in Hancock NY in 1980!! They recruit from the PRISONS, the DC snipers are/were members and are believed to have hid out at one compound in Farmville VA.
It’s coming…..

Just out of curiosity if the FBI is cutting ties to CAIR because of their associations with terrorist organizations does this mean that they, the FBI, will soon cut ties with Attorney General Holder because of his associations with Islamic terrorist organizations while he was with his law firm which defended domestic and Guantanamo Bay terrorists? Seems to be a logical step especially in light of his actions as Attorney General to date.
There goes the FBI directors job. I expect @ close of business friday an announcement of retirement. Hey before you get shit canned Rob can you dump all of the files you have on Sotero on the internet ? thanx
Wish it were true,simply cannot trust an agency whose overlord happens to be Eric Holder. Proof please.
