Court documents recently filed by the government further rock the credibility of Russia Special Counsel Robert Mueller because they show that as FBI Director Mueller he worked to cover up the connection between a Florida Saudi family and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The documents reveal that Mueller was likely involved in publicly releasing deceptive official agency statements about a secret investigation of the Saudis, who lived in Sarasota, with ties to the hijackers. A Florida journalism nonprofit uncovered the existence of the secret FBI investigation that was also kept from Congress.
Under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI tried to discredit the story, publicly countering that agents found no connection between the Sarasota Saudi family and the 2001 terrorist plot. The reality is that the FBI’s own files contained several reports that said the opposite, according to the Ft. Lauderdale-based news group’s ongoing investigation . Files obtained by reporters in the course of their lengthy probe reveal that federal agents found “many connections” between the family and “individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.” The FBI was forced to release the once-secret reports because the news group sued in federal court when the information wasn’t provided under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The disingenuous statements were issued by FBI officials in Miami and Tampa in a desperate effort to disparage a 2011 story exposing the agency’s covert investigation of the Sarasota Saudis as well as reporting that it had been concealed from Congress. Mueller is referenced in a document index that was ordered by a federal judge to be created in late November 2017. The south Florida judge, William J. Zloch, a Ronald Reagan appointee, asked the FBI to explain where it had discovered dozens of pages of documents in the public-records case filed six years ago. The index reference to then-FBI Director Mueller appears in an item involving an agency white paper written a week after the publication of a news story about the abrupt departure of Saudis Abdulaziz and Anoud al-Hijji from their Sarasota area home about two weeks before 9/11. The couple left behind their cars, clothes, furniture, jewelry and other personal items. “It was created to brief the FBI Director concerning the FBI’s investigation of 4224 Escondito Circle,” the al-Hijjis’ address, the index says.
Though the recently filed court documents reveal Mueller received a briefing about the Sarasota Saudi investigation, the FBI continued to publicly deny it existed and it appears that the lies were approved by Mueller. Not surprisingly, he didn’t respond to questions about this new discovery emailed to his office by the news organization that uncovered it. Though the mainstream media has neglected to report this relevant development, it’s difficult to ignore that it chips away at Mueller’s credibility as special counsel to investigate if Russia influenced the 2016 presidential election. Even before the Saudi coverup documents were exposed by nonprofit journalists, Mueller’s credentials were questionable to head any probe. Back in May Judicial Watch reminded of Mueller’s misguided handiwork and collaboration with radical Islamist organizations as FBI director.
Back in 2013 Judicial Watch exclusively obtained droves of records documenting how, under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI purged all anti-terrorism training material deemed “offensive” to Muslims after secret meetings between Islamic organizations and the then-FBI chief. Judicial Watch had to sue to get the records and published an in-depth report on the scandal in 2013 and a lengthier, updated follow-up in 2015. As FBI director, Mueller bent over backwards to please radical Islamist groups and caved into their demands. The agency eliminated the valuable anti-terrorism training material and curricula after Mueller met with various Islamist organizations, including those with documented ties too terrorism. Among them were two organizations— Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)—named by the U.S. government as unindicted co-conspirators in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing case. CAIR is a terrorist front group with extensive links to foreign and domestic Islamists. It was founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists (Omar Ahmad, Nihad Awad and Rafeeq Jaber) who ran the American propaganda wing of Hamas, known then as the Islamic Association for Palestine.
Excellent point...I remember the incident but had forgotten they were both both involved.
No, they left two weeks BEFORE 9/11.
Mueller also headed the FBI when thy started abusing their warrantless search powers including so called national security letters. The abuses continued under his toady Comey who replaced him.
FREEPERS knew at the time the Islamization of the FBI was occurring.
DC, swarming with enemies of lawful government.
Any man who has fought for this country in war is totally disgusted by Gov Federal employee union types of GS-14 +. These low life scum bags like Mueller, Comey, and even some men we knew are pure trash. The likes of Clinton selling uranium had I done so would have got me or my friends hung. I want every piece of trash like them hung or thrown in prison. I can tell you no DACA punk did crap in combat. No illegal ever fought on our side. F them.
Good point...Federal employees shouldn’t be any different and you nailed the main reason, “public-sector unions”.
Understood. Certainly the ringleaders of the treason gang (which imho includes SorozNazi HilLIARy pelousy obsmmy and several more) must receive visible justice - their greed and hatred of our country must be shown to be a losing strategy imho
Well they tried but at this point nobody is going to believe anything that comes out of his investigation.
Its now the DOJ, FBI, NSA and CIA who are about to face justice. The Deep State should have just laid low until Trump was gone now their entire operation is being exposed. They messed with the wrong man.
This was big news in Sarasota FL .
These Saudi had been acting strange and locals were concerned .
And the locals blamed the Bush Family for recommending Sarasota county to these Mussies since they have a winter home there too and Jeb was governor then .
Then the FBI came in and clean up for them based on local Cop chatter .
Years later in comes out .
W Bush was in Sarasota on 9/11 .
9/11 was worse than Pearl Harbor. There was no chance for most to escape. They had no training that could possibly be used to save their lives. Most just burned to death or were crushed underneath thousands of tons of concrete and steel.
And Comey helped cover up an investigation of Saudis connected to the hijackers.
A politician convinced the state to send it to Mueller who was able to slow walk Asimov out the door with a minor conviction.
Strange at the time, but very sinister now with high ranking Brit, Belgian and US politicians being tied to child abuse.
I vaguely remember something about what you said but can’t remember whether it was in the media or I saw it here after signing up a few years after.
The more that comes out is showing what a slimeball his is.
It was big news in Sarasota .
People were ticked off those Saudi fled town ahead of 9/11 and
the neighbors had reporrted there odd behavior .
Many thought the Bushes were involved .
Time passed .
Mueller has been a nasty piece of work for ever .
I don’t understand why we aren’t seeing any of this in the conservative press. All we hear is the myth that Mueller is an honorable man. Clearly that isn’t the case.
Trump has a plan. Patience is a vertue in this push button world.
