Full Headline: Napolitano Tells Congressional Committee DHS Found No Links Between Huma Abedin And The Muslim Brotherhood…
(TRNS) — During a hearing Wednesday with the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano if DHS had discovered any links between a high-ranking official in the State Department and the Muslim Brotherhood.The question was a nod to a letter authored by Rep. Michele Bachmann and signed by five House Republicans that was sent to the State Department.
The Representatives questioned whether Secretary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin or any other government officials have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Secretary Napolitano answered Jackson Lee with a resounding no. To further emphasize her point, Jackson Lee asked her question a second time.
“We have looked into this,” Napolitano said. “The FBI has looked into this. We have found … no credible evidence that such activity is going on.”
Weasel Zippers: Huma Abedin’s family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood are a fact (the closest being her mother, who is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood), the question raised in the letter was if they have any influence over her. So either Napolitano is lying to Congress or engaging in semantics.
Personally, I can think of another reason why Numbskull-o-tano might think Huma is no threat ...
Imagine the odds
Ratz covering for Ratz ,,,, whatz that smell ???
So parsing the Obamaspeak along the lines of the initial "Fast and Furious" testimony, was there any incredible evidence or was there evidence of activity in the past, but not while the cops were looking?
Secretary Napolitano, using both hands and a flash light, please find your a$$.
Ahh, I think we’ve located the problem!
and we all know that Napy would never tell a lie to Congress or the American people
The system “worked”.
If she asked one of us freepers we could have told her...
I heard that the code name for this was “Operation Ostrich”.
Wow. Color me shocked. /s
We are not “credible”.
She probably touched the side of her nose with her finger and winked while she was saying this.
No (1) credible (2) evidence that such (3) activty is (4) going on.
But the “link(s)” are definitely there. Enough to deny a security clearance,
Raises questions:
Is there evidence but many not “credible”? (i.,e. hearsay? circumstantial? Rumor?
Was there “activity”? (Past tense - Was is “cured” when she married a Jew?)
Even though it is not on-going at this time, was it?
When my husband got his clearance, they interviewed his parents, my parents, our neighbors and old neighbors....I guess since they are pro radical islamist, they think she is an asset to the obama adminstration. God forgot they have a Christian who actually believes in God, a pro-lifer or God forbid a hunter. They would see them as dangerous.
credible evidence - subjective, yes - indicates there is such evidence just not credible in her view. Methinks this is evidence there is indeed smoke and where there is smoke there is something combustible.
“Lou Costello” in Drag could find links in a bicycle chain.
Correction
“Lou Costello” in Drag couldn’t find links in a bicycle chain.
Unbelievable
