There are reports today that boko haram, the Nigerian Islamo-lunatic group, attacked 6 villages, killing 37 people.
It seems that attacking and killing people – including Muslims – under the guise that they are not Islamic enough, is all that boko haram does.
In 2011 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew all about boko haram. But she refused to designate it a terrorist group anyway; that did not happen until 2013, when Clinton had left the Obama administration.
From Bridget Johnson\’s highly illuminating commentary at pjmedia.com (did you seriously expect this kind of investigative reporting about Hillary Clinton to be from mainstream media) we have this:
In June of last year, Vitter questioned why the State Department, under former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “misled” Congress on the threat posed by Boko Haram.
He cited 2011 evidence on Boko Haram presented to the State Department by the National Counterterrorism Center, followed by a delay in the group’s terror designation until fall 2013.
“Recent evidence suggests Secretary Hillary Clinton and the State Department not only knew of the extent, but also deliberately attempted to obfuscate the issue in order to avoid having to make the designation of Boko Haram as a FTO, including downplaying the State Department\’s own Country Reports on Terrorism (CRT),” Vitter wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry then.
But why?
Why would Hillary Clinton do such a thing?
Well, here\’s a possible reason, found further on in Ms. Johnson\’s piece:
Vitter has suggested that Clinton\’s deep donor ties to Gilbert Chagoury, a major Lebanese-Nigerian land developer who has given millions to Democratic campaigns, the Clinton library and Clinton Foundation global initiatives, could have accounted for some of Clinton\’s reticence in the terror designation – a recognized terrorist group operating in the region, after all, makes more than a dent on local economies and investors get scared off.
Yesterday, Vitter sent more correspondence to Kerry, asking that his department turn over “all additional files specifically relating to the designation of Boko Haram as a terrorist organization during former Secretary Clinton’s term and seek out any related files which may not have already been turned over by Secretary Clinton.”
“Given the drastic foothold Boko Haram was allowed to gain prior to being designated an FTO, the nexus between the Department\’s decision against designating Boko Haram as an FTO and connections to outside groups should be brought forward. Associated records should have been preserved as evidence of the agency\’s activities, decisions and procedures. These should be presented to the relevant committees and to the American public to be evaluated for corresponding misconduct,” Vitter wrote.
Tell me: is the connection between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\’s steadfast refusal to designate the gruesomely mass-murdering boko haram as a terrorist group, and the millions of dollars The Clinton Foundation got from a Nigerian fatcat who would directly benefit from her refusal to do so, worth investigating?
If the answer is yes – and obviously it is – then where are the network news shows on this? Where are the investigative reports…you know, the ones that start with words like “troubling new developments about…”? Where are the major newspapers?
Remarkable, isn\’t it? Hillary Clinton refuses to answer any of their questions – i.e. she gives them the back of their hand. And, like abused children clinging to their parents, these “journalists” still will run cover for her.
I talk a lot about how, even now, so many in mainstream media still fawn over Hillary Clinton. This is why.
