Former U.S. Attorney: Bachmann Right to Question Clinton Aide's Background
Hope Lodge reports at Human Events:
Outspoken Tea Party Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and four other members of Congress came under fire earlier this summer for asking agency inspectors general to various department inspectors general [to investigate] . . . links between top Obama administration officials -- including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin -- and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization. . . .
A former U.S. attorney who made a name for himself as the prosecutor of the terrorist perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing is saying we should take Bachmann’s concerns seriously.
Andrew C. McCarthy . . . said in a conference at the National Press Club Wednesday that Abedin’s connections are too serious to ignore.
“I’ve been, I must say, baffled by this whole situation,” he said.
To carefully investigate a candidate for high position in government "is routine," he said. "It’s not because we question their patriotism, it’s not because we question their honesty or suggest they’re bad people.”
According to Human Events, "McCarthy said Abedin’s personal and professional affiliations, as well as her family’s links to Muslim Brotherhood organizations, should be enough to give investigators pause."
