National Intelligence Director James Clapper testifying before Congress called the Muslim Brotherhood “a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence.”
Newly declassified documents obtained by the Clarion Project show that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) misled members of Congress in 2012 about its involvement with Muslim Brotherhood-linked entities.
Further, the documents show that there were even a number of internal communications within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence expressing concerns about the Brotherhood links of these entities.
The story of the deception began when the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified to Congress on February 10, 2011 saying that the Muslim Brotherhood is “a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has described Al-Qaeda as a perversion of Islam.”
In the same hearing, Clapper was asked by Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL) about the administration’s relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. He answered, “There have been outreaches to the Muslim community in general, but I guess we’re not aware of any direct outreach to these particular organizations. That is, if you’re speaking domestically.”
FBI Director Mueller then chimed in, saying there is “no relationship with the Brotherhood. Period.” The CIA Director Leon Panetta then agreed, dismissively laughing in the process.
Clapper’s office later issued a clarification, backtracking on his inaccurate statement that the Brotherhood is “secular.”
Just four months later, on June 12, 2012, a 90-minute “Roundtable Discussion” took place at National Intelligence’s headquarters in McLean, Virginia. At the meeting, Clapper met in person with a representative of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Also present were National Counter-Terrorism Center Director Matthew Olson and Alexander Joel, ODNI Civil Liberties Protection Officer.
The email invitation ISNA received to participate in a “Round-Table” discussion
In 2007, the Justice Department listed ISNA as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity and designated them as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism-financing trial of the history of the U.S. In that trial, the Holy Land Foundation, a Muslim Brotherhood front, was found guilty of funding Hamas.
Yet in 2012, the president of ISNA, Imam Mohamed Magid, was invited to meet with the Director of National Intelligence. Unable to attend, he sent a substitute in his place.
The email that went out inviting ISNA’s president (among others) stated that he was chosen because, “We believe you have important insights to share with the Intelligence Community (IC) about how the IC pursues its mandate of providing the most insightful intelligence possible, while simultaneously safeguarding civil liberties and privacy.”
Someone is blinded by his Islamophilia to say the least and wants to transform America in a non Judeo-Christian nation!!!! To become what!!!! the 58th one?

You asking a blog of Jews to stay on topic. Dreamer
Getting back to the topic in hand…
The Clappers of the world (ie almost all of what’s known as “the Obama administration” have been described in another blog (The Belmont Club) as having “incompetence combined with impenetrable narcissism”.
Best description I have ever read.

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz
I wonder where the birdies is
I saw a birdie in the sky
He dropped a whitewash in my eye
I’m a big girl I don’t cry
I’m just glad that cows don’t fly.

Hi! My name is phoenix, and I am addicted to IP…
@ dove:
Hi Dove. I’ve been here. Just finding that I’ve been spending too much time on this blog and it’s been eating into my livelihood. I have to guess that most of the regulars are retired or otherwise independently wealthy. Alas, that’s not me. But I’ve been monitoring the posts for the most part just resisting jumping in with comments. But sometimes I just can’t resist. Passover was also a contributing factor of course. Mine was nice and I hope yours was too.
Nice to be missed!
@ Yidvocate:
Hi! 🙂 Been wondering where you’ve been. Hope you had a great Passover!
National Intel mislead about the Muzloid Bros. Are you kidding? Any kindergarten student knows that they are and have always been a homogenized group of Islamic terrorists.
Well, let’s see now… Crapper was nominated by ovomit…
Do we still need to scratch our heads about this???
What a farce….
