FBI Blatantly Lied About New Orleans Attack Not Being Tied to Terrorism

The FBI shows again that it cannot be trusted in any way with providing the American people the truth. 

The death toll is now 15 people dead.  The horror remains.  And again, we have another mass murder event where the FBI is lying to the American people.

Why did the FBI lie about it?

See, it seems they started off by trying to tell the media that no, this wasn’t terrorism, when in fact it was. Now, I’m always willing to allow for the possibility that things changed since the FBI made that statement, but as my colleague over at RedState, Bonchie, they had all the information before they said a thing.

The man who carried out the terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans has been identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar, and he is being investigated for having ties to ISIS.

As RedState reported previously, the truck used to mow down dozens of people went through a border crossing at Eagle Pass, TX in November. It is not clear whether that fact is connected to the attacker because the truck was a rental. Regardless, the assailant exited the vehicle after ramming through the crowd and started shooting. He was eventually killed by police after a firefight. CPR failed to revive him.

Notably and inexcusably, the FBI initially proclaimed this was not a terrorist attack, with the FBI Special Agent in Charge making that statement after New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell had already confirmed it was one.

FBI ASSISTANT SPECIAL AGENT: This is not a terrorist event. What it is right now is there improvised explosive devices that was found, and we are working on confirming if this is a viable device or not.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the spokeswoman (that was the role she was operating in for the moment) didn’t realize the mayor had already let the cat out of the bag or if the FBI simply wanted to keep things under wraps for the time being, but it was another example of why the bureau has lost so much trust among the American public.

…

Returning to the attacker, I had seen a picture of him post-mortem before his identity was revealed. He had a darker complexion with a beard. He was also wearing combat fatigues. I can’t post it due to its graphic nature. Couple that with the jihadi flag that appeared to be attached to the back of the truck, and there’s just no excuse for the FBI to have not been more upfront with the public initially.

Here is the FBI lying:

I expect Kash Patel to deliver the greatest Apprentice-styled “YOU’RE FIRED” to this incompetent chick very soon.

The major issue with the massive corruption from the Obama/Biden regime is that there is no trust in the FBI or the DOJ or numerous other government entities.

Trust is what makes America great and different from banana republics and we need to get it back ASAP.
