U.S.
Lawmakers Make STUNNING Move to Investigate Obama for Helping ISIS
(Conservative Tribune) – Three
committees in the House of Representatives announced Friday that they were
launching concurrent investigations into allegations that President Barack
Obama deliberately manipulated intelligence reports from Syria and
Iraq, allowing the Islamic State group to thrive.
According to the Washington
Examiner, Republican Reps. Ken Calvert of California, Mike Pompeo of
Kansas and Brad Wenstrup of Ohio will lead the investigations for
the Armed Services Committee, Intelligence Committee and the Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee, respectively.
“In addition to looking into the
specific allegations, the Joint Task Force will examine whether these
allegations reflect systemic problems across the intelligence enterprise in
CENTCOM or any other pertinent intelligence organizations,” read a joint
statement from Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas,
Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Rodney Freylinghuysen, R-N.J.
The investigations by the House
committees joined an investigation by the Pentagon’s inspector general’s office
in relation to the Obama administration’s alleged manipulation of Islamic State
group intelligence at U.S. Central Command.
A September
report said that 50 intelligence officials at CENTCOM had signed a
letter claiming intelligence on the Islamic State group had been doctored.
The report claimed that the Obama
administration would deliberately punish any intelligence official who gave
accurate assessments of terror group strength and didn’t doctor the information
to make it look like the United States was winning the battle against them.
Even Democrats have gotten on the
president and the administration about the intelligence doctoring, including
one of the ranking Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Jackie
Speier of California.
“More recently the intelligence
community, I think, has provided much more accurate assessments. But CENTCOM,
which is the area that is responsible for the Middle East, has, for whatever
reasons, we don’t know yet why, has dumbed down the intelligence, has
sweetened it, has made it seem like we are being more successful there
than we are,” Speier said.
“I’m deeply troubled by what I
believe is doctoring that has taken place and has created an impression that we
are doing better there than we actually are.”
Rep. Speier may claim “we don’t know
yet why” intelligence reports were doctored, but we’re pretty sure we
understand why. And pretty soon, these congressional investigations will reveal
officially put the “why” out there for the world to see.
