When Sen. Lautenberg asked how a New York City police agency could spy on other states' residents without any interstate-interagency input, Holder said, "I don't know. We are in the process of reviewing the letters that have come in expressing concerns about those matters."
"At least what I've read publicly, and again, just what I've read in the newspapers, is disturbing," Holder said. "And these are things that are under review at the Justice Department."
Three dozen Democrat members of Congress have asked for a full Justice Department investigation.
"I can't read their minds or look into their hearts, but based on their actions it seems to me the Democrats will always jump at the chance to investigate cops or intelligence agents or military personnel, but are lax when it comes to investigating the enemies of the U.S. or the criminals," said former police detective Mike Snopes, who served in the NYPD Intelligence Division.
"Holder, Lautenberg and others are disturbed with the [NYPD] because the department didn't allow political correctness to get in the way of protecting New Yorkers," Snopes said.
"And as far as New Jersey, let's remember that members of a Jersey City mosque were involved in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center," Snopes added.
Last Monday, as reported in The Examiner, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, joined a group of American Muslim leaders to show their support for the New York Police Department's highly successful counterterrorism efforts, a NYC police officer told the Law Enforcement Examiner.
"A campaign of vilification waged by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its allies against the NYPD has reached new heights over the past six weeks, with no less than eight separate stories having appeared in the New York Times from January 24 – February 15, 2012, including an editorial from its editorial board and a page one feature, which concern the screening of a film entitled The Third Jihad to some 1,400 NYPD officers while they waited for a training program," said the American Islamic Leadership Coalition in a press statement.
While Rep. King and members of his committee withstood name calling and accusations of racism and intolerance, his hearings proved to be "right on the money," former intelligence officer and police detective Mike Snopes, who served in the NYPD's Intelligence Division, said during a phone conversation with the Law Enforcement Examiner.
"It's like the old adage: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck you've got yourself a duck," Snopes quipped.
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR routinely attacks anyone who questions the motives or actions of Muslims in the United States, according to several law enforcement sources. They have been demanding an investigation by the Obama Justice Department, according to Steve Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
According to a report from the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security: "The Council on American-Islamic Relations and its employees have combined, conspired, and agreed with third parties, including, but not limited to, the Islamic Association for Palestine, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Global Relief Foundation, and foreign nationals hostile to the interests of the United States, to provide material support to known terrorist organizations, to advance the Hamas agenda, and to propagate radical Islam."
"I suggest that rather than harassing good cops, Holder investigate CAIR and its current operations. And stop the politically correct dogma that's poisoning our country," said Det. Snopes.
