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?

This is Part IV of our 5-part series report on not just recent, but numerous terrorists attacks on U.S. Embassies and staff covering especially the last four years. The Obama Administration has blamed a “video” for recent terrorists attacks against U.S. Embassies and staff in Libya. The Administration claims they didn’t know the recent attacks were coming. We have found that the Administration has done very little to keep U.S. Embassies and staff safe from ongoing attacks.
Part IV discusses the defensiveness of the Administration, who knew what and when; the politics in how the Administration changed their story on what really happened on September 11, 2012 in Libya. Read More…
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…
The Obama Administration continues preparation to release now five (up from previous four) Guantanamo Prisoners (terrorist supporters) in “hope” that the Afghanistan Taliban will engage in “peace talks.” Reportedly, the Taliban hand-picked which detainees they wanted release. Read More…
