Because of the volatility of the information contained in these recovered documents and the potential for a complete contradiction of the Obama administration lies, the information was covered up and carted off to a secure area where they could not be evaluated. This action made the stunning assumption that no actionable intelligence could possibly be gained from 470,000 documents that may save the lives of our troops in combat in the Middle East and abroad, nor could it provide any further insight (than what we already knew) into the plans of al-Qaeda and other related terror groups and their benefactor nations!
This is the equivalent of being handed the literal location of Osama bin Laden by the Saudi government prior to the World Trade Center bombing when then-President Clinton deferred using this intelligence!
In the weeks following the bin Laden raid, the documents went through an immediate interagency triage for actionable intelligence. That initial scrub yielded valuable information that led to the capture and killing of key al Qaeda associates. But then the documents sat, largely untouched, for months at a time. From that point on, the Obama administration’s interest in the Abbottabad documents didn’t extend much beyond their public relations implications. Simply put, a fuller release of the cache would have fatally undermined the message that al Qaeda had been decimated and that the war on terror was being reduced to a few mopping-up exercises.
As a result, some of the documents were never translated. Relevant intelligence agencies engaged in a protracted fight about who could have access to the information. The Defense Intelligence Agency was repeatedly denied full access by the CIA, which had “executive authority” over the collection and which was run throughout much of the bureaucratic infighting by John Brennan, an Obama crony who had predicted in April 2012 that al Qaeda would meet its demise by the end of the decade.
The U.S. intelligence community never conducted a full-scale review of its own intelligence collection on al Qaeda using the Abbottabad documents. “There was never any kind of evaluation of our work on al Qaeda based on the documents,” says one senior U.S. intelligence official involved with the documents. Obtaining the documents presented an opportunity to check what the intelligence community thought it knew about al Qaeda and its leaders against what actually happened. Who were our good sources? Who was providing misinformation? Was there a source who had better visibility into leadership decision making than we’d assessed? Someone we relied on who wasn’t as important as we’d thought? In some important respects, the bin Laden documents were like the answer key to a test you’d taken. It’s telling that many in the intelligence community didn’t want to review their work or revisit their conclusions.
Worse still, following the success of Operation Shush in which Barack Hussein Obama was reelected, he then repeated shut down attempts by Congressional Republicans to see the rest of the documents. Finally, in a bid to shut Representative Devin Nunes up, the administration agreed to release the entire cache. It was at this point that the intelligence community pulled an old Deep State trick and went on television to announce that they were releasing the last of all the trove of documents recovered in the raid and that this would “close the door” on the investigation into Osama bin Laden and what he knew.
They then released 571 documents. The “most transparent administration in the history of our country” released 571 documents out of 470,000 and claimed this was the last of the information!
Read on the next page about how, despite the Weekly Standard repeatedly requesting clarification on why the intelligence community had been deceitful about their release of the information and, as well, about why they insisted that bin Laden was a broken, old man with a hatred of Iran, the documentation said otherwise! The response of the officials is staggeringly dishonest!
Our government only has one political party. The republicans and democrats are all the same. Perpetuating crimes against the constitution and pur bill of rights. Obama should be prosecuted but the republicans have something to hide also so they don’t want the democrats ratting them out and that’s what we fear the most. We must wash our ha d’s of this government and initiate the Convention of States and reform pur democracy. The sooner the better!
Did Julian Assange also tipoff and reveal to the Russians that the Clinton’s were scamming the Russians and America’s for hundreds of millions of $ in the “Uranium One” scheming plot to sell American uranium to Russia?
Russian communists may believe their fellow Communist sympathizers Obama and Hillary had duped them so the Russians took revenge during the Democrats / Communists presidential run. No honor among communists.
The Obama administration and DNC have desperately been working 24/7 compromising and corrupting the US justice system to keep their own corruption out of sight and creating fraudulent stories about President Trump.
I am stunned , but then again I’m not ! If these traitors are allowed to get away with all that they have done …”America” will never be back !
No one ever thought that Obama and Hillary were liars, cheats, and downright nasty people??? I certainly did.
As I read the article it became crystal clear that I (and many, many others) had been right to call for the indictment, arrest, trial, and sentencing of Barack H. Obama for the crime of treason, amongst other high crimes and misdemeanors. The facts stand that Obama essentially enacted a “gag order” on the collection of documents obtained through the raid on the bin Laden compound in Abbotobad so that he could get re-elected and give aid and comfort to Iran, whom is a known hostile actor against the United States which he indeed did do with the Iran Neuclear Deal. This deal was never run through Congress and was enacted through “Executive Privelege” by Barack H. Obama himself. Thankfully, once President Trump took office, President Trump deep sixed the Obama Iran Neuclear Deal. Although he did put a stop to it, he couldn’t stop the airplane load of cold, hard cash that Obama had sent to Iran prior to the end of his final term as President.
It has been said before, and I shall say it again, “INDICT, ARREST, BRING TO TRIAL, AND SENTENCE Barack H. Obama for high crimes and misdemeanors to include treason against the United States, it’s citizens, and it’s possessions!”. Do this swiftly and soon. Once Obama is arrested, he will undoubtedly sing like a canary and unmask his co-conspirators inside of the DOJ, the National Security Apparatus, and in Congress. The dominoes will fall swiftly and may well hold to Hillary Clinton’s assertion that if she’s taken down she will take half of Washington with her. This has the potential to drain the cesspool of Washington, D.C. that has been allowed to fester for well over thirty years.
bin Laden was dead years before and that is why Extortion 17 took place, to cover up the LIE that Obama had him taken out. Also, bin Laden formerly worked for OUR CIA. 9/11/01 was the BIGGEST LIE perpetrated against us! It was the DEEP STATE who was responsible. PLEASE WAKE UP.
No surprise their, Obama was the most scandalous and Corrupt President of all time…
I smell treason in the air. Hang them all.
Thanks Obama and Hillary , You Both Are Treasonous And Corrupt And DISGUSTING AND DISGRACEFUL And Should Be In JAIL ! ! !
And my question is why would he have told Medevev that he would have more flexibility after he won the re-election.JUST HOW DID HE KNOW HE WAS GOING TO WIN 8 MONTHS OUT FROM THE ELECTION UNLESS THEY RIGGED THE ELECTION! NO MORE ABSENTEE BALLOTING UNLESS YOU ARE STATIONED OVERSEAS!
