WASHINGTON DC. We first helped bring this story to social media back in February 2016. We didn’t write the original story, it was published in The Hill, a Washington DC newspaper covering mostly DC-related politics.

Whistle-blower: Obama Admin Scrubbed Suspected Terrorists From DHS Database
The most extensive coverage that exposed this story was published by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the Department of Homeland Security on February 13, 2015. The case is: Judicial Watch v Department of Homeland Security (Case# 1-15-cv-00222).
The Obama Administration scrubbed DHS’ database of suspected Islamic terrorists.
“Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained 183 pages of documents from the Department of Homeland Security revealing that the Obama administration scrubbed the law enforcement agency’s “Terrorist Screening Database” in order to protect what it considered the civil rights of suspected Islamic terrorist groups.”
“The documents appear to confirm charges that Obama administration changes created a massive “hands off” list. Removed data from the terrorist watch list could have helped prevent the San Bernardino terrorist attack.”
U.S. Inspector General Report (redacted and declassified) (183pps PDF)
Why would a U.S. President want to wipe out suspected terrorists from a government’s data base? This kind of makes one wonder which side is President Obama on? As President Obama’s Secretary of State John Kerry said, he’d rather just have the media report on it at all (Video).
It appears the Obama Admin thought they could just delete files from a computer and suddenly terrorists would simply go away. And if only the media would stop informing the world by exposing such radicals, then we could all live in a Fantasyland – together (until the terrorists show up to kill you?)
As it turns out, there may be an internal cover-up. Democratic congressman found that there were seventy-two people who work at the Department of Homeland Security who are on the terror-watch list.
“…we did an investigation — the inspector General did — of the Department of Homeland Security, and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security,” Lynch told Boston Public Radio hosts Jim Braude and Margery Eagan. “The director had to resign because of that.”
So if you are a terrorist, or terrorist sympathizer and worked inside the Obama Administration, guess it would be prudent for them to wipe suspected terrorist names off their list?

Politics, USA. (Background). In late college, I was a research-based major. I did a senior study on U.S. intelligence and the challenges it presented to our intelligence agencies. I still enjoy researching facts and analyzing history about many subjects including national security issues.
Despite personal political ideology supporting this thing called the U.S. Constitution, and that we are a national of laws, not a nation of men. I had professors who fell across the political gambit including conservative, libertarian, independent, generally liberal, left-wing feminists, right-wing Republicans, and scary progressives.
Everyone has their own political ideology. Since I had many professors with opposing ideologies, I had to learn how to write things independently and just let the data support the argument.
I see many blogs on both sides of the political isle that go a bit extreme sometimes, based on the underline known facts. To be fair, I have found graphics and statements pointing fingers at both the major political parties and at times may politely point out any material inaccuracies providing citations from generally credible sources.
So, I came across a tweet from a Twitter poster who probably re-posted this graphic hereto of former President Bush. In case the below tweet gets deleted – and this happens a lot when…read more…
EXCERPT: President Obama has bypassed Congress and working against America’s own economic and security interests to push for HIS own illegal open border agenda. Obama and others have falsely claimed that ‘the immigration system is broken.” Nothing can be further from the truth.
This report documents the proof of how the Obama Administration has been systematically dismantling the U.S. immigration system. Read more in this 29-page full-cited report including videos, data graphics and photos…
WASHINGTON DC. The U.S. Dept. of State acknowledges that Terrorism is a global problem that is not limited to Iraq and Syria [U.S. Dept. of State Report, 29pps].
[1] Obama Threatens Congress
When it comes to defending America, President Obama has repeatedly threatened Congress [recent examples (Jan 2014)(June 2014)(July 2014)(Aug 2014)(Nov 2014)]. If Congress does not send Obama an “immigration reform” (AMNESTY) bill that Obama doesn’t like, then the President says he will act on his own and pass legislation (illegally and unconstitutionally), bypassing Congress’ legislative authority and issue his own law through Executive Order.
President Obama is so against securing American’s borders that he had the DOJ sue the state of Arizona for trying to enforcing immigration laws in their own state.
President Obama’s action could also legalize or create a path for foreign drug cartels and terrorists living and operating inside the U.S. border. Read More…
