Question of the Day: Why is Barack Hussein Obama stonewalling, refusing to release official report on Ft Hood murderer?
Topics: Political News and commentariesKevin Collins notes Rep. Pete Hoekstra's (R-Mich.) charge. And given that Obama has had a report on Hasan since November 30, one can't help but wonder what's going on at the WH.
The ranking Republican member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), is charging the Obama Administration with stalling his Committee's demands for an official report on the radical Muslim Army Officer who shot to death 13 people and wounded another 30 more innocent Army personnel at Fort Hood Texas last month.As for a reasonable answer for why the WH is stonewalling, dare I be so bold as to suggest that it has something to do with this!Hoekstra suspects Obama is purposefully dragging out the release of any information on Major Nidal Malik Hasan into next February, and he considers this stall an unconstitutional trampling of his Committee's responsibility to the nation.
Federal law requires the White House to brief House and Senate members on this investigation and "ensure that the congressional intelligence committees are kept fully and currently informed of the intelligence activities of the United States."
Obama doesn't follow laws he doesn't like.
When an Administration friendly reporter protested Hoekstra's characterization of the pace of the process claiming a preliminary briefing had already been released shortly after the murders, Hoekstra shot back, "It was a scripted presentation where most of the questions were answered with, 'We don't know,' 'We're checking into that,' 'We'll get back to you,' 'Let us finish our initial investigation here.'...'We don't want to jeopardize any criminal prosecutions,' and all those kinds of things," said Hoekstra.
