I struggle to understand how this can even be true. What purpose does it serve?

I understand they are going to dub in "Christian Republicans"...

They are doing it to change the public record of history.

It stretches credulity that a public office could want to be caught falsifying evidence in a nationally visible case.

The bubble they live in is one way glass. They have no concept of someone disagreeing with them. After all, they are rewriting the Clinton's history right in front of our noses and getting away with it!

And to proudly admit it.

Makes one wonder how often this is done when it's NOT admitted.

DOJ to Scrub Islam References from Transcripts of Orlando Terrorist's Calls to Police



Who does this help? Why is the government attempting to scrub facts from this attack? Do you agree with this move?

Do I agree with it? NO. Do I believe it? Well, a quick internet search does support it. Why would they want to redact known facts from the transcript? They say they don't want to give him his "propaganda" victory. To me, that doesn't make sense. The world already knows that he "credited" ISIS with the attack. What changing the transcript does is undermine the credibility of the administration.

It sounds a lot like the Ministry of Truth going back and altering history.

Jon Stewart famously chided that "Reality has a liberal bias" -- now we know why it does.

This administration doesn't view Muslim terrorists as the band guys. That's what purpose it serves.

If a Christian white boy had committed this crime, the government would never shut up about it

Lynch claims that they don't want to "re-victimize" those involved so they're doing away with any reference to Islamic extremism.

Does that make sense to anyone?

They're attempting to erase the fact that the crime was committed by a Muslim terrorist.

Excessive PC BS strikes once again. And what sort of BS made up term is this 're-victimize'?

Orwell was right. We've discovered our 'Ministry of Truth' (only a few years later than first estimated).

They sure didn't have a problem with banning the Rebel Flag from National Cemeteries, or calling for it to be scrubbed from history, while harping on the racist hatred of the Charleston killer. Why the double standard? Ignore the fact that Islamist Extremism played a role in Orlando, yet focus on White Supremacy Racists role in Charleston.

Re: DOJ to Scrub Islam References from Transcripts of Orlando Terrorist's Calls to Po

after actually reading the transcripts they released people are making a mountain out of a mole hill. It literally just has [omitted] where ISIS would be in them.

Why? What's the point in omitting anything?

Yep. That is a pretty blatant double standard now that I think about it.

Which administration sent special forces to kill Bin Laden and got it done? Which administration regularly sends in drones to bomb terrorist training camps in Pakistan/Afghanistan in spite of the complaining from its liberal base? Which administration killed Abu Hafs al-Shahri, Ilyas Kashmiri, Ammar al-Wa’ili, Abu Ali al-Harithi, and Ali Saleh Farhan?

Double down. :)

What's their justification for this? Not wanting to give a mass murderer a platform to spout his beliefs? That's the only thing I can come up with, and I'd only support it if they did that with all of these mass murderers, which they haven't done so far.

Does all this misdirection mean you support this admin altering and editing the 911 call to fit it's narrative verse the facts of what was said on the call?

Which administration lied about the attack and subsequent death of a Siting US Ambassador by claiming an almost unheard of, poorly made internet movie inspired understandable outrage towards the US?
Once again, you double down on fail...
