The FBI quietly released on Friday phone conversations between police negotiators and the Orlando shooter that clearly show the shooter’s motive was retaliating for the execution of an ISIS commander by a drone strike. In other words, the FBI and Obama administration deliberately lied and covered up the shooter’s motive, putting out a false narrative that was eagerly repeated by the media.
And, for the first time, an Obama veto has been overridden by Congress. Today Congress overrode Obama’s veto of a bill that would allow families of 9/11 victims to sue foreign sponsors of terrorism. The administration is concerned that it will lead to discovery of Saudi ties to 9/11 but they are also concerned that it would set a precedent that would lead to the US being sued for criminal acts it commits abroad. We look at new accusations that the US coordinated with ISIS militants on airstrikes with Syria and the escalation of war in Iraq as even more US troops join the fight in Iraq.
