House Republicans suspect Muslim group of
trying to plant spies
Four House Republicans are accusing a Muslim
advocacy group of trying to plant spies on Capitol Hill.
Republican members of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus said the
Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) have tried to plant “spies”
within key national-security committees in order to shape legislative policy
called for the House sergeant at arms to investigate whether CAIR had been
successful in placing interns on key panels. The lawmakers are specifically
focused on the House Homeland Security Committee, Intelligence Committee and
Judiciary Committee.
“If an organization is connected to or supports terrorists [and] is running
influence operations or planting spies in key national security-related
offices, I think this needs to be made known,” said Broun, who sits on the
Homeland Security Committee. “So I join my colleagues here today in calling
for action.”
But the Office of the House sergeant at arms said that it has received no
such request from any of the four Republicans and declined to speculate on
how a request of that nature would be addressed.
"We have not received any request at this time," said Kerri Hanley, a
spokeswoman for the House sergeant at arms office. "Until we know of the
exact request, a determination cannot be made on how it will be handled."
The book, which was written by P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry with a
foreword by Myrick, is scheduled to be released shortly.
A representative of CAIR called the accusations unfounded and worried that
they would tarnish the improving relations between Muslim and non-Muslim
Americans.
While the Republicans said they did not know of specific legislation that
CAIR had affected, Franks, a Judiciary Committee member, said he wouldn’t be
surprised if it was trying to amend the Patriot Act.
“One of the target policies that they might be concerned about is the
Patriot Act itself — those things that give us the greatest tools to be able
to surveil those conversations outside of this country … and I think
organizations like CAIR would like to diminish that.”
The GOP accusations come as Congress is considering reauthorizing the
Patriot Act, which has been attacked by critics on both the left and the
right.
The Republicans also called on the IRS to launch a full investigation into
CAIR’s lobbying activities, “to judge if they are in violation of their
federal nonprofit status.”
Hooper said that CAIR is in full federal compliance with its status as a
501(c)3 nonprofit group, and that the group devotes less in terms of
resources than the maximum legal limit allowed.
“We’ve always stayed within our legal limits,” he said. “If anything, we
don’t have enough staff to lobby as much as we legally can.”
the Justice Department identified CAIR as an “un-indicted co-conspirator” in
the Holy Land Foundation case in Dallas, which concluded with the sentencing
of the two founders of the foundation to life in prison for funneling $12
million to Hamas, which the U.S. has labeled a terrorist organization.
Earlier this year, the FBI cut off communication with CAIR out of concern
that the group had ties with Hamas.
