Why Is the Department Of Justice Trying To Whitewash Omar Mateen’s Motive?

Source: RedState | June 20, 2016 | streiff

At some point today the most corrupt and politically compromised cabinet officer in the most corrupt and politically servile federal department will release the tapes of conversations between Orlando jihadi, Omar Mateen, and law enforcement while he held hostages in the gay nightclub he had shot up. If that is merely what Loretta Lynch was doing, that would arguably be the first lawful and democratic thing the Department of Justice has undertaken in nearly a decade. But that is not what she is doing.

…..

Incredibly, Lynch’s Justice Department, in the guise of illuminating Mateen’s motive, is actually going to redact his motive from the tapes. As RealClearPolitics reports, what makes this nonsense particularly egregious is that we already know what Justice is redacting:

The Washington Post reported last week that the gunman made multiple phone calls while holding hostages: “The gunman who opened fire inside a nightclub here said he carried out the attack because he wanted ‘Americans to stop bombing his country,’ according to a witness who survived the rampage.”

Salon reported that: “Everybody who was in the bathroom who survived could hear him talking to 911, saying the reason why he’s doing this is because he wanted America to stop bombing his country.”

The Washington Post also noted that during his 911 call from the club, the gunman referenced the Boston Marathon bombers and claimed “that he carried out the shooting to prevent bombings, [echoing] a message the younger Boston attacker had scrawled in a note before he was taken into custody by police.”

…..

The reason for this is very simple. Barack Obama and his henchmen are invested in a narrative that says all Islamic terror attacks are one-offs, they are “lone wolves”, that there is no rhyme or reason in the attacks and, ergo, the administration is blameless for the attacks and guns are to blame.

And like the shooting spree that killed 14 people at a San Bernardino disabilities center, there’s no evidence thus far that the Orlando attack was part of a larger plot, Obama said.

“At this stage we see no clear evidence that he was directed externally,” Obama told reporters in the Oval Office Monday. “It does appear that at the last minute he announced allegiance to ISIL, but there’s no evidence so far that he was, in fact, directed by ISIL.”

…..

This administration has shown a significant Stalinist tendency towards redacting and corrupting the official record in furtherance of its policy goals. Eric Holder was cited for contempt of Congress for his efforts. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has raised sanitizing the official record to an art form with the famous “server crash” that evaporated Lois Lerner’s emails. Within the past month it has been revealed that both the State Department and the White House deliberately altered official records to hide things they did not wish known. The sanitizing of the record on the Orlando shooting is just the way they roll.
