Memory lane: Then FBI Director Comey told the
Senate that 300 refugees were being investigated by the FBI for
terror connections, by Ann Corcoran, 8/27/18.
So approximately 200 Iraqi refugees were under investigation by the FBI in May 2017.
That was in May of 2017.
Love him or hate him, this testimony he gave to the Senate Judiciary Committee
on May 3, 2017 was swept under the rug by the mainstream media. But we have
this segment of that testimony from the Washington Post in a story entitled: Read the full testimony of FBI Director James Comey in which he
discusses Clinton email investigation. LOL! Maybe they
should have subtitled it:
Comey drops bombshell, says hundreds of refugees
did get in to US with ties to Islamic terrorism! I’m
posting this now as a separate post before I get to the main thing I wanted to
say today.
From testimony where Director Comey is being questioned by Senator
Mazie Hirono of Hawaii about Trump’s so called “Muslim ban:” [Emphasis below is
mine. Six countries discussed are Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.]
COMEY:
I’m sure we can provide you. What I can tell you here is I think — I think
about a third of them are — are from the six countries — so 300. About a third of them are from the six
countries. I think two thirds of those were from the seventh country Iraq that
was not included. But I’ll make sure my staff get to the
precise numbers Senator.
HIRONO:
So Iraq is the only other country that was not among the six targeted
countries?
COMEY:
I think that’s right. Obviously as you ask it I’m wondering whether I’m wrong
and so I’ll get you the precise numbers.
HIRONO:
Thank you.
COMEY: But I — I think it was refugees about 300 about a third
from the six countries. And about two thirds from Iraq. That’s
my …
So
much for the “robust” vetting we had been hearing so much about!
And,
was Iraq initially left off the list because the Pentagon objected?
