NRA’s Baseless FBI Claim
Factcheck .org ^ | 6-16-16 | Eugene Kiely

Posted on 06/16/2016 3:03:04 AM PDT by cardinal4

The National Rifle Association executive director claimed — without offering any evidence — that the FBI was prevented from fully investigating Omar Mateen prior to his attack on an Orlando nightclub because of “the Obama administration’s political correctness.” Others, including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, have made similar claims.

They may have not been PREVENTED.

They may have just decided American Law and the US
Constitution MUST DIE for Islam and Sharia and
Americans MUST DIE by Islam. It could be an in-house policy.

Which was it?

There is absolutely no viable way to prove or disprove claims like these.

Exactly. I could start a website calling myself a fact checker. Who checks the fact checkers?

There is simply no evidence to support such a claim.

There is simply no basis for factcheck.org to come so ardently to the FBI's defense based solely on the word of Director Comey in an interview and review of statements.

In point of fact, there were no 'facts' checked here. Just bullshit repeated ad nauseam.

Factcheck.org. There are two ways the name of this site can be taken. Check can mean investigate. It can also mean stop, as in body check, checking the advance of the enemy, etc. i.e. blocking. I think the liberal site is using it in the second sense.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

We know for a fact that this jihadi was investigated, twice (at least) by the FBI. We know that his co-workers marked him as a candidate for Sudden Jihad Syndrome™, but were afraid to speak up for fear of being accused of “Islamophobia”. We know for a fact that the perverts who run Disney World reported him as a possible jihadi in April (they have to spend so much time, apparently, finding these guys that they miss the alligators).

I think we know that his father was a guest at the White House.

So, although it is not proved BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that he was allowed to continue his maturation as a Soldier of Allah due to political interference, it is certainly true by a preponderance of he evidence.

Who fact checks the Factcheckers? Who are they?

Factcheck is biased propaganda, great to convince low-information voters that don’t want to do their own research or think for themselves.

You nailed it. Did you know that Snopes is just a guy and his wife who do internet searches?

The 'checking' is done by the liberal media. They publicize and emphasize only the ones who tell them what they want to hear.

Factcheck.org should never be used for fact checking - but only for opposition research.

Here are but three of hundreds of links on the leftwing connections between factcheck.org, the leftwing Annenberg Public Policy Center and the leftist agenda of Hussein Obama, Bill Ayers and their ilk:

"FactCheck.org is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center"

"Obama's Lost Annenberg Years (With Terrorist Bill Ayers) Coming to Light"

"Concrete proof that Politifact and Factcheck.org are biased liars"

Stephen Coughlin wrote a big thick book with extensive footnotes.
0bama created the framework to block folks from investigating Islam

The red pill brief is a good starting point to learn what happened in the past 16 years

I just took a little time to look at the site myself. Totally agreed with you, it’s just filled with all sorts of liberal talking points and citing CNN, etc.

If there's a better explanation of why Omar Mateen wasn't still under investigation, I'd sure like to hear it. His resume is so much like that of the CA shooter and of the Tsarnov brothers that it's chilling.

And to think he had clearance to work for a DHS subcontractor!

All you have to know is that Factcheck is a leftwing organization.

And we now have a guy who worked with DHS saying that he was ordered to delete/alter data that resulted in "erasing a lot of dots".

Who to believe - those who know that the constraints being put on folks to keep them from scrutinizing the most likely perps are real or those who claim it isn't so????

‘...— without offering any evidence —...’

Not sure what the problem is. The liberal media does it ALL the time. In their case the ‘facts’ turn out to be lies or only the part of the facts that give basis to their argument.

You left out the fact that Hillary’s State Dept. shut down an FBI investigation of Omar’s “mosque”.

From the DHS director Jeh Johnson who is a muslim and several other DHS office holders who are also muzzies it is no surprise these characters were able to skate the FBI terrorist list and work for a subcontractor under the DHS .
