It was the culmination of seven years of effort within the Obama administration to extend American-style civil rights and civil liberties to foreign nationals who do not have America’s best interests in mind, conducted in blatant disregard for the Constitution and the self-evident freedoms and liberties endowed by our Creator.

In the summer of 2012, five members of Congress wrote to the acting inspector general of DHS, raising the provocative claim that the Muslim Brotherhood was infiltrating Washington.

The Congress members – Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Louie Gohmert of Texas, Trent Franks of Arizona, Thomas Rooney of Florida, and Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia – were widely ridiculed by angry and indignant members of Congress, both Republican and Democrat, as well as the establishment media and major Muslim Brotherhood front groups, such as CAIR and the Muslim Public Affairs Council.

I had a front-row seat, because I knew the Congress members, with the exception of Rooney, and because I was an active-duty DHS CBP officer with a specialty in the subject that caused so much controversy.

It was an opportunity, similar to the Holy Land Foundation convictions, for our nation’s leaders to evaluate the effectiveness of our counterterrorism policies, and, in both cases, they failed to seize the moment.

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank suggested the researchers and lawmakers who presented evidence of the Muslim Brotherhood ties of Abedin and her family were motivated by racism. He commented in a column that it’s “hard to escape the suspicion” that the charges have “something to do with the way she looks and how she worships.”2

Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, called the request for an investigation of Abedin and her family “sinister” and “nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American and a loyal public servant.”3

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim to serve in Congress, accused fellow Minnesota lawmaker Bachmann of failing to provide evidence to support what Muslim Brotherhood front groups were calling a “witch hunt” against Muslims in the US government.4

On July 19, 2012, Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner denounced Bachmann’s accusations. “From everything that I do know of [Abedin], she has a sterling character and
