Solsticewitch13's BOS: FBI translator arrested for altering transcripts of calls he made to Al-Shabab jihad terror suspect

Wednesday, May 8, 2019

Islamic supremacists have infiltrated every sector of America, and in fact Western society. Disturbingly, they occupy positions of trust.

FBI translator Abdirizak Wehelie (aka Haji Raghewhose) whose “son is in prison for supporting ISIS” was arrested for altering the transcripts of calls he made to a jihad terrorism suspect, “in which his own voice was caught on intercepts.”

His son, Yusuf Wehelie, is already serving 10 years in prison for transporting weapons in a case where he is said to have spoken with an undercover witness about his desire to shoot up a military recruitment center on behalf of the Islamic State group….He and another son, Yahya, were also barred from returning to the U.S. in 2010 on an overseas trip until they successfully overturned their status on the no-fly list.

The most difficult challenge any country could possibly face in a war, is when its enemies are free to roam to operate stealthily from within. In his trusted position with the FBI, translator Abdirizak Wehelie, would also have access to documents that could put American interests and citizens at risk. Given that Wehelie’s sons are known jihadists, it should have initially raised red flags with senior authorities at the FBI.

In December 2012, a man targeted by the FBI in an investigation connected to the Al-Shabab terrorist group in Somalia called and left a voicemail message for Wehelie, court documents say. The call was intercepted under court-ordered surveillance, and Wehelie was tasked the next day with translating the call.

Wehelie tried to deny ever speaking to the suspected Al-Shabab jihadist, but “a subsequent FBI investigation is said to have revealed that the two had nearly 180 phone contacts from 2010 to 2017.”
Wehelie also previously joined CAIR in an attempt to shut down the American government’s terror screening database.

Wehelie sure knew the ‘right’ organization to run to, in his attempts to shelter himself from his jihadist dealings– Hamas-linked CAIR.

CAIR followed up with a lawsuit against the Trump Administration, using the same tired strategy of victimhood (Islamophobia). It “argued that counterterrorism measures imposed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection amounted to a kind of second-class citizenship.”

In another unnerving case involving the FBI: the agency knew in advance about an impending jihad attack on a free speech event that Robert Spencer co-hosted with Pamela Geller in Garland Texas. One can only imagine the possible disastrous outcome had the the event’s private security team not stopped the jihadists. More shocking information about the FBI emerged “in August 2016 that an undercover FBI agent encouraged the jihadis:

Days before an ISIS sympathizer attacked a cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, he received a text from an undercover FBI agent. ‘Tear up Texas,’ the agent messaged Elton Simpson days before he opened fire at the Draw Muhammad event.

In a followup miscarriage of justice, a federal court judge dismissed the lawsuit that alleged the FBI role in the 2015 jihad attack at the Garland event.

Donald Trump once declared that exposing the “corrupt FBI” probe against him could be the ‘crowning achievement’ of presidency.” Beyond the Russian collusion case, the FBI is in need of a general anti-corruption overhaul and cleanup.

“FBI translator whose son is in prison for supporting ISIS is arrested ‘for altering transcripts of calls he made to terrorism suspect'”, by Lauren Fruen, Daily Mail, May 6, 2019:

A former FBI linguistics expert has been arrested accused of obstructing a federal investigation after a terror suspect allegedly left a voicemail on his cell phone, it has been revealed.
Federal authorities charged the former translator with making false statements after they say he altered transcripts of calls in which his own voice was caught on intercepts.
Abdirizak Wehelie, aka Haji Raghe, was arrested Saturday night at an airport after returning to the U.S. on an international fight, according to Josh Stueve, a spokesman for the US attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.
The 66-year-old, who lives with his family in St. Burk, Virginia, is a former contract translator for the federal agency.
His son, Yusuf Wehelie, is already serving 10 years in prison for transporting weapons in a case where he is said to have spoken with an undercover witness about his desire to shoot up a military recruitment center on behalf of the Islamic State group.
FOX5 reported in 2016 Yusuf also told undercover agents he wanted to travel to Libya to join ISIS.
He and another son, Yahya, were also barred from returning to the U.S. in 2010 on an overseas trip until they successfully overturned their status on the no-fly list.
Both brothers were said to have been detained in Cairo after returning from Yemen.
An indictment unsealed Monday states that Wehelie worked as a contractor for the FBI from 2012 to 2015.
In December 2012, a man targeted by the FBI in an investigation connected to the Al-Shabab terrorist group in Somalia called and left a voicemail message for Wehelie, court documents say.
The call was intercepted under court-ordered surveillance, and Wehelie was tasked the next day with translating the call, according to authorities.
But he allegedly marked himself down as ‘unidentified male’ even though the voicemail message on Wehelie’s cellphone identified him as ‘Abdirizak Wehelie.’
The FBI questioned Wehelie about his actions in 2016. At the time, according to the indictment, Wehelie admitted that he should not have identified himself as an ‘unidentified male’ on that translation.
He also reportedly told FBI agents that he had never actually had a phone conversation with the person who called him and that he didn’t know the person very well.
But a subsequent FBI investigation is said to have revealed that the two had nearly 180 phone contacts from 2010 to 2017….
