An Unforced Error

Reversing its earlier decision, the Obama Justice Department released the uncensored transcripts of Omar Mateen's calls to various people while holding hostages at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. See the story at the Fox News website.

This was an unforced error the administration needn't have made. How they could believe people would sit still for denatured transcripts is hard to fathom.

Our Islam-loving President was willing to look foolish to protect Muslims. In the end, Speaker Paul Ryan demanded release of the complete documents and Attorney General Loretta Lynch backed down, appearing weak in the process.
