It was a simple question that Attorney General Loretta Lynch would not answer on Sunday:
"How many Americans are on the terrorist watch list?" ABC's Jonathan Karl asked Lynch on "This Week."
"You know, we don't provide those exact numbers," Lynch responded.
"Can you give me a range? I mean, what are we talking about here?" Karl followed up.
"Well, as I say, we don't provide those exact numbers," Lynch responded.
Lynch supports an amendment sponsored by Diane Feinstein that would bar gun sales to people who end up on the government's secretive terror watch list. Even the late Sen. Ted Kennedy mistakenly ended up on that list years ago.

We are toast.
ReplyDeleteThey also won't tell you the process for adding and removing someone from the list. If they want to use this as a basis for denying someone their constitutional rights (#2 specifically), there needs to be due process (conviction and appeal) prior to adding and additional processes for removal!
ReplyDeleteRemember the promises this POSPOTUS made - transparency was one of them!
She will be on one after Trump loses.
ReplyDeleteTrump will win then she and obama will be on it.
DeleteAll conservatives will be on the list if it is tied to gun control. 10:08 is right regarding the process. Once you are on the list your are toast. You have seen what Obama had the IRS do with Tea Party groups right? Hey you liberals - if you do not think it will happen to you then you are nuts. You see how the liberals moved from women's rights to gay marriage to transgender bathroom rights. You are only good to the liberals when you are a hot item.
ReplyDeleteAG Lynch's time is almost up.

ReplyDeleteNot to mention Double Secret Probation!
The concerns mentioned above are valid. Due process, anyone?
ReplyDeleteAnd to think the conservative Fox News heads said from the beginning that this person will be a honest AG. They also bragged about the FBI head had always been honest and would do the right thing reference the Clinton criminal candidate. As said before, you get sucking out of that government trough and it gets pretty tasty. We seem to ruin good folks.
I estimate about half the population, obviously you can't say that, the sheeple may actually wake up.
ReplyDeleteIf you think people on this list should get guns then you are a traitor to this country.
ReplyDeleteAn FBI friend in the local office here told me that any gun owner that posts on social media his or her opinions about the current administration, or about current policies, or Muslims, or Blacks, is on the list.
ReplyDeleteIt is a watch list monitored by a computer and certain words trigger a flagged response on the programed "Watch List", then the comments are looked at, and the threat assessed.
