FBI COVER-UP EXPOSED BY JUDICIAL WATCH COUNTER-TERRORISM TASK FORCE HEAD ON “O’REILLY FACTOR”

FORMER FBI SPECIAL AGENT JOHN VINCENT EXPOSES MUSLIM FBI AGENT WHO REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE BIN LADEN


(Washington, DC) John Vincent, the head of Judicial Watch’s Terrorism Task Force appeared yesterday on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor” to expose a high-level FBI cover-up concerning the refusal of another FBI agent to fully participate in FBI terrorism investigations. John Vincent, a retired FBI Special Agent of 27 years, told the American public how a Muslim agent involved in an investigation of Osama bin Laden’s network refused to wear a wire to record another Muslim because “a Muslim does not record another Muslim.” Specifically, the Muslim agent refused to wear a wire in an investigation related to the African embassy bombings of 1998, which have been tied to Osama bin Laden. Joining John Vincent on the “Factor” was David Schippers, Judicial Watch’s National Advisor and co-counsel. Judicial Watch is the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption.

Earlier in the week, the FBI threatened to fire FBI Special Agent Robert Wright, another Judicial Watch client, if he appeared on “The O’Reilly Factor” to talk about the scandal of the Muslim agent. The Muslim agent in question also allegedly obstructed investigations of terrorists in Florida by refusing to record a Muslim subject. And Judicial Watch has learned that the Muslim FBI agent’s actions also raised concerns in the FBI’s Washington, DC Field Office.

Since the story has become public, the FBI has issued various explanations for the Muslim FBI agent’s actions which are patently false.

“The FBI is in a crisis. It has at least one agent, because of alleged Muslim sympathies, obstructed terrorist investigations. And it has a leadership which is covering up the whole matter up and stifling those career agents in the FBI who would expose their lies. But with the help of the media and the courts, Judicial Watch will get the truth out,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.
