Judicial Watch Sues Department of Justice for Documents Detailing Decision Not to Prosecute CAIR Co-Founder…
God bless Judicial Watch; they do some fantastic work.
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ) for failing to respond to its request for public records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 11-01121)). The documents relate to a decision by the DOJ not to prosecute the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its cofounder Omar Ahmad, who has been linked by federal investigators to the terrorist group Hamas. The decision not to prosecute reportedly was made over the objections of special agents of the FBI and prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Dallas, Texas.
On May 9, 2011, Judicial Watch sent a FOIA request to the DOJ’s Office of Information Policy (OIP) seeking access to the following:
- The March 31, 2010 memorandum entitled “Declination of Prosecution of Omar Ahmad from
Attorney General David Kris to Acting Deputy Attorney General Gary Grindler.- “Any and all communications, contacts, or correspondence between the Office of the Attorney General (AG), the Office of Deputy Attorney General (DAG), or the Office of the Associate Attorney General (Assoc. AG) and the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) or any CAIR groups concerning, regarding, or relating to the prosecution or declination of prosecution of Omar Ahmad.”
- “Any all communications, contacts, or correspondence between the Office of the AG, the Office of the DAG, or the Office of the Assoc. AG and the U.S. Congress concerning, regarding, or relating to the prosecution or declination of prosecution of Omar Ahmad”
- “Any and all communications, contacts, or correspondence between the office of the AG, the office of the DAG, or the office of the Assoc. AG and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas concerning, regarding, or relating to the prosecution or declination of prosecution of Omar Ahmad.”
On May 9, 2011, Judicial Watch also filed a similar request with the DOJ’s National Security Division (NSD) seeking access to contacts and correspondence between the NSD and CAIR, Congress, and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Texas regarding the decision not to prosecute. The time frame for these requests is January 20, 2009, to May 1, 2011.

Awesome.
Remember that during WW2, the Muslims sided with Hitler so they could have the means to wipe out the Jewish people.
This is an item that should be brought to a Liberal Jew when they start defending the muzzies.

Thank you for the public service, this country is in the hands of cowards and Muslim appeasers who don’t care if they want to kill every last infidel in the west.
Git ‘em!
Cair is front for the muslim brotherhood. Jail is to good for them. They have publicly stated that every city in the US is islamaphobic. That denotes irrational fear. We’re not afraid of anything…..let them be afraid. I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday.
Excellent! Now, Holder, about those pesky Black Panthers……
Good luck with that. You know that Odammit’s crew will ignore any court ruling they don’t like.
Ummm, the documents made it to the shredder yet?
Judicial Watch is a great organization. Go for the throat guys….
That was Patrick Poole at Pajamas Media who broke that story as I recall. Not the establishment media.
I have waited 30 years for the legal system to work. The legal system does not work for most people. I would never imply that some element or some aspect of the legal community is reputable. I am positive murder and violence is the right way to do business with government and I would testify so publically. No federal authorities have ever disagreed with me on this. I tell them just exactly this.

You sound like that poor man who set himself on fire in front of the court house. He had been through a divorce and numerous custody and child support hearings, and couldn’t handle the court system anymore. He left a 12 page suicide note explaining his problems. And many of his complaints made a great deal of sense. He also attacked the Feminists for loading the system to work in a way that splits families apart, and frequently leaves both mother and father homeless. It’s time to take a look at our spousal abuse laws and the divorce and custody laws. It appears that the pendulum has swung too far.
Odd, I haven’t seen the story in any major newpaper or on any major TV News Station and this man set himself on fire! In front of a courthouse! And yet, when that gay student killed himself because he was humiliated by what his roommates had done, that’s all we heard about for weeks.
It’s time to clean house at the DOJ! Maybe they should hire a special prosecutor to go after Eric Holder when the regime of Obama is gone. We can only hope that he will be a one term president!
