What’s new that struck me is the National Special Security Event designation. That because of this they weren’t supposed to talk to anyone outside law enforcement. This is probably why the wife “disappeared” and no more news of his family or him being a terrorist were allowed.
NSSE is usually something like the RNC or DNC convention. The Secret Service is in charge and FBI investigates. Seems like OBama makes his own special use of this designation to cover up terrorism.
