Biden's Iranian-born military aide reportedly under investigation ‘Clear and present danger’

 

In the wake of terrorist fears over the car explosion at a US-Canada border control checkpoint Wednesday, the Biden administration’s inexplicable complacency about national security threats must end. 

While Gov. Hochul now says the FBI has ruled out a terrorist attack, there were initial concerns “at a time of heightened alert” that the car was packed with explosives and may even have been heading to New York City. 

Hochul announced new counterterrorism efforts last week and already had beefed up security for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

On Tuesday, CBS reported a threat assessment from the New York State Intelligence Center warning that the war in Gaza is “driving chatter about targets in New York.” 

The threats make it all the more reprehensible that hundreds of known and suspected terrorists have been caught crossing our porous southern border — and God knows how many have evaded detection

White House silent 

“I did not receive a response from the White House following the release of my report. Neither am I aware of any changes to Dr. Tabatabai’s security clearance.” 

Among the aid and comfort the Biden administration has provided to the Iranian regime was its blessing to attack the Mojahedin-e Khalq(MEK) in Albania, where the dissidents had been guaranteed safe haven under the Trump administration.

Last November, the State Department disavowed MEKthe group in a statement, saying: “the United States does not see the MEK as a viable democratic opposition movement that is representative of the Iranian people.” 

That appeared to be the green light for the Albanian government to raid MEK headquarters in June, killing one and seizing computers that turned up in Tehran.

In September, in response to questions about Tabatabai’s security clearance, a Pentagon spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon: “We are honored to have her serve, prompting Iran’s intelligence ministry to thank Albania and start arresting MEK operatives.” 

Malley was accused by a bipartisan group of former lawmakers, including former AG Michael Mukasey and former Sen. Joe Lieberman, of being behind the State Department’s “flagrant betrayal” of the Iranian dissidents. 

How much damage was done to Israel and US intelligence-gathering capabilities in Iran by the destruction of MEK’s covert network there, less than four months before Hamas’ attack on Israel?

Albanian sources say MEK members now are attempting to move to Canada. 

The State Department and the Pentagon have shown a cavalier disregard of media interest in the Iranian spy scandal.

In October, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller dismissed questions with a breezy: “I do not have any reason to believe an Iranian influence operation infiltrated the United States government.”
