Despite the growing menace and media savvy of the terrorist Islamic group ISIS, the FBI appears to be, once again, failing in its investigative and enforcement responsibilities. The agency that let us down with 9/11 and, afterward, reacted mainly in a flurry of political correctness and appeasement toward Muslims is now trying to reassure the American public that we have nothing to fear from ISIS on the North American continent.
This despite warnings from the nonprofit Judicial Watch of ISIS activism in Mexico, and recent ISIS-related arrests in Minnesota. More is needed from the nation's top domestic intelligence and security agency than this whistling in the dark if we are to be safe in our own country.
Official government estimates of ISIS recruits vary widely from 20,000 to 50,000. Nicholas Rasmussen, director of the federal National Counterterrorism Center, who places the number at more than 20,000, reports that fighters hail from 90 countries, with an estimated 3,400 from Western countries, including over 150 from the United States. Rasmussen admits that there is "likely more information out there that we have not yet been able to collect," and that there could also be "greater numbers of foreign fighters, and potentially even greater numbers of individuals from western countries and the United States who've traveled to the conflict zones."
Meanwhile, FBI assistant director for counterterrorism Michael Steinbach has reinforced the level of risk by admitting, "Certainly I would not be truthful if I told you we know about all the returnees."
This equivocation and uncertainty by government sources contrasts dramatically with the recent findings of Judicial Watch, a government watchdog with more than 20 years of investigations and litigation in pursuit of open and honest government. Last week, Judicial Watch revealed in anonymous accounts from a Mexican army officer and police inspector...

Why not roll half of the funding for the lazy and tainted FBI over to Judicial Watch?
Not a bad idea, at least until the enemy within is purged.
The FBI is part of Eric”The Red’s”Department of INJustice!!What in HE** Do You Expect???????????????
The entire Federal Government cannot be relied to uphold the Constitution or working for the people. They are out of control.
J. Edgar, who was never a transvestite, must be spinning in his grave.
Amen...I can just picture him ripping an AG that would attempt to tell him to back off fully investigating anyone that was a threat to our nation.
Heck the FBI didn’t even know the Sec of State(hellary) was performing espionage on her server at home...
-OR- they were complicit.. liaison’s.. OR DUPES.......
forget what Obama gets away with WITH the secret service guarding him to do it.. OH!.. and most of the White House and the entire Executive Division.. daily, weekly, monthly.. FOR YEARS....
DUPES... nah!.. they can’t be THAT DUMB..
>> It is indeed alarming that FBI actions and statements continue to be on the order of “nothing to see here, move along,” even as the threat from radical Islamists grows worldwide and advances in America. .. the FBI is so politicized and compromised by outside influences that it can no longer do its job
Exactly, 0bama has surrounded himself with complicit people.
“Have we reached a point where the FBI is so politicized and compromised by outside influences that it can no longer do its job effectively?”
Yes. Name one government agency that isn’t. The American
federal government has become the enemy of the American people. It is no longer functioning in the interest of
it’s citizens.
This entire administration it politicized. Nothing it does is with any intent to protect and serve America, only the Marxist party.
“Why not roll half of the funding for the lazy and tainted FBI over to Judicial Watch?”
Then Judicial Watch would have to do what the people signing
the check tells them to do. The first article would be
“Move Along, Nothing to see here.”
You’re both dead on the mark.
