Peloni: The perversion of American justice and intelligence has had rippling and crippling effects across not just America, but the world. Restoring these two aspects of American governance and society will go a long way towards not just Making America Great Again, but making the world a safer place to live in general.
We have people in the FBI actively covering up leftist and Islamic terrorism

In 2017, James Hodkinson, a Bernie Sanders supporter, assembled a list of Freedom Caucus members, headed to the Congressional baseball game, asked where the Republicans were, and opened fire on them.
And the FBI covered it up.
Instead of classifying the incident as domestic terrorism, the FBI falsely claimed that Hodgkinson had no political motive and was trying to commit suicide.
9 years later, a reckoning is coming and the leftists are fuming.
FBI Director Kash Patel last week fired a senior intelligence analyst who played a role in the FBI’s 2017 assessment of the motives of the gunman who attacked a House Republican baseball practice, a report that drew the ire of the GOP because it did not label the incident as domestic terrorism.
Four people familiar with the matter said Deputy Assistant Director Emily Morales received a letter from Patel on Friday ending her FBI employment, after which she turned in her badge and was “walked out” by FBI security, as is standard practice.
Morales could not be reached for comment.
In a word, good. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. The FBI brass and agents on the scene repeated what they knew to be an obvious lie. And the Hodgkinson cover up was just incident in a series of cover-ups.
The Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) has released its report on mass public attacks in 2017. It mentions, “terrorism” only once and the word “Islam” doesn’t appear in it at all.
That’s strange because two of the attacks, the Lower Manhattan car ramming and the Fort Lauderdale airport shooting rampage, were Islamic terrorist attacks. The perpetrators, Sayfullo Saipov, an Uzbeki immigrant, and Aashiq Hammad (Esteban Santiago), both credited ISIS with inspiring their killing sprees. These two Muslim terrorists had managed to kill a combined 13 people while wounding another 18.
And then there was Kori Ali Muhammad who had murdered 4 people in Fresno. Muhammad had shouted, “Allahu Akbar” when confronting the police just like Sayfullo Saipov would 3,000 miles away.
We need a major housecleaning when it comes to intel analysis. We have people in the FBI and the intel community actively covering up leftist and Islamic terrorism and that means we’re fighting blind. Meanwhile actual counterterrorism experts were forced out during the Obama administration and experts like Robert Spencer would never be allowed near any federal law enforcement agency. That urgently needs to change.
So, one traitor was finally fired. That’s at least something, I suppose, but there are others, many others. I wonder if any of them were (or will be) deposed on their way out, or if their past dealings will ever be investigated. None of these people, spread throughout the government were acting on their own. Who was giving the orders and who was directing and coordinating their efforts? And where is the accounting for their criminal actions? One person lost their job….after 9 years! I’m not impressed.
You’re right. There must a lot more meat on this bone. Is somebody dragging their feet here or being obstructive, or is it simply too difficult to fire them because they’re all lawyered up? We should be examining their lawyers’ finances too. While what they’re doing is not illegal, they’re stretching the envelope.
