This is what I want to hear from Comey today….he could, in the end, redeem himself!

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

….but, of course I won’t be holding my breath (well, and I likely won’t be watching the show anyway!).  Before I get to what I am dying to hear and all Americans should hear from Comey, just a quick comment.
I watch CNN the first thing every morning to get a feel for the Leftwing mood for the day and was much surprised that although they were all still on pins and needles to hear the great (anti-Trump) revelations they hope will come from former FBI Director Comey the giant slayer, nevermind that his prepared remarks were milquetoast, the tone from Cuomo and Camerata had changed since yesterday.

I predict no one is going to love Comey at the end of the day.  However, he could redeem himself by using the knowledge he has hinted at in the past to prepare a treatise on how to thwart future Islamic terrorism.

Hmmm! It sounded like they might be getting ready to throw Comey under the bus.
Of course, I have no way of predicting, but I’m guessing Comey will be sorry he agreed to do the Senate show today because it sounds to me that they will be coming after him with pitchforks from both sides of the aisle.
Sorry for the digression.
This is what I want from James Comey:
I want Comey to give the American public more information on why he said we can’t screen Syrian refugees as he did here in 2015 because I am sick to death of hearing the federal refugee contractors’ propaganda about how ROBUST the screening process  is.

300 refugees being watched by the FBI!

And, I want Comey to give further explanation for a comment he made in his last official testimony (ignored by most media!) before Congress when he said in early May:

Then we have another big group of people that we’re looking at who we see some contact with foreign terrorists. So you take that 2,000 plus cases, about 300 of them are people who came to the United States as refugees.

Frankly, no matter what, Comey is cooked politically, so he could do a great service to America if he tells American citizens now what he knows about the Muslim refugees entering the US and those second generation jihadists growing up among us in your town and mine.
I know he can’t do it today (no one will ask him about those past statements which are surely more significant than any he could make about Russian meddling), but he should go home, put his information together and go public with the facts, and tell us how America can be safe from the scourge of Islamic terrorism!  That, in my mind, would save him the ignominy he surely now deserves.
Related! Don’t miss Ann Coulter (All we need is love, and deportations!), click here.  Every line in her recent column is a punch in the gut to the politically correct ‘leadership’ around the world!  If the FBI is watching thousands what on earth are they waiting for—waiting for them to kill people (just like in the UK!).

Repost: Comey tells Senate that FBI looking at 2,000 cases of US links to foreign terrorists, 300 are REFUGEES

Washington is all a tither this morning about how now former FBI Director James Comey might make a reappearance on The Hill next week.
So, lest you forget, the man of the hour, the day, the week, hell, the century! James Comey said this on his last visit to the Senate.   Any chance that Senators McCain, Graham, Rubio, Lee, Tillis or Lankford will ask about this bombshell from his previous testimony? Don’t hold your breath!  (Below is a repost from May 9th! Written earlier in the same day that Comey was fired.)

FBI looking at 2,000 cases of US links to foreign terrorists, 300 are REFUGEES

Just when you thought you had had it with FBI Director Comey he admits something that you would never expect a politically-correct Washington insider to reveal.

Comey grilled on the Hill: All they ever want to hear from Comey is information about Hillary Trump and how the Russians elected Trump. No mention that I’ve seen anywhere, except from Mark Krikorian, about the stunning news that 300 refugees are being watched.

Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee last Wednesday, Director Comey said in response to questioning by Senator Thom Tillis of NC about those being watched by the FBI who are in contact with foreign terrorists (from a transcript published by the WaPo):

Then we have another big group of people that we’re looking at who we see some contact with foreign terrorists. So you take that 2,000 plus cases, about 300 of them are people who came to the United States as refugees.

As far as I know no reporter has mentioned this stunning news.  Mark Krikorian, Director of the Center for Immigration Studies caught it though and published the revelation at National Review Online here yesterday.
Krikorian reminds us that Comey had testified to Congress on more than one occasion where he admitted that there is no way to thoroughly screen refugees from failed states like Syria and Somalia.
Krikorian:

So 15 percent of the FBI’s terrorism cases are refugees – far more than their share of the immigrant population, let alone the general population. And that denominator of 2,000 presumably includes people with no immigration nexus at all – skinheads, antifa, Klan, environmental and animal rights extremists, et al. So the refugee share of immigration-related terrorism investigations is more than 15 percent, perhaps much more.

Krikorian goes on to argue that, except for a few special cases, we should help legitimate refugees where they are in the world and not risk bringing them to your town and mine.

FBI contacting newly arrived Syrian refugees, is the FBI doing this on its own?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I suppose one could argue that this effort to meet Syrian (mostly Muslim) refugees is harmless, but I have to say I think it is politically tone-deaf at the moment.
Is the FBI getting direction from above or are they making this effort completely without direction? Does no one in the FBI leadership see how this would be upsetting, that it adds fuel to a political fire, or is that exactly what they are doing—making the Trump Admin. look heavy-handed?
From NorthJersey.com:

FBI agents have been calling Syrian refugees in New Jersey and asking to meet – alarming advocates who say they fear the visits could be a first step toward surveillance at a time when refugees have been cast as a suspect group.

“An FBI official said the effort to meet with Syrian refugees in New Jersey was not a Trump administration initiative, but an effort by the Newark division to reach out to the community.”

The FBI’s Newark division has confirmed that calls were made to refugees, but said agents were only trying to “build trust” and “open lines of communication” with the recently arrived immigrants and not for surveillance.

[….]

At least three Syrian refugees received calls last week from an Arabic-speaking agent who requested an in-person meeting, according to advocates who have been helping Syrians adjust to their new lives in the U.S. They were told the meetings were part of a larger outreach effort to check on Syrians and their well-being, the advocates said.

Salim Patel, chairman of the board of the Smile Organization, a Passaic-based nonprofit service group whose clients include many refugees, said the calls were received “with great alarm” because of the political climate, with news of Trump’s immigration ban weighing on people’s minds.

Mohamed Khairullah, an activist aiding refugees who is also Prospect Park mayor, said he worries that the newcomers, who typically don’t speak English, could be coerced into signing something they don’t understand.

“They’re not aware of their rights, and they’re not aware of the protections provided to them by the law or the Constitution,” he said.

In a Facebook message in Arabic, he encouraged families contacted by the FBI to reach out to a lawyer. At Know Your Rights workshops across the state, staffed by civil rights and legal associations, attorneys are giving the same advice.
