Much has happened this past weekend. On Friday, September 20th, Malik Obama spoke publicly – for the first time – about charges that he is connected to the Muslim Brotehrhood. On the morning of Saturday, September 21st, about a dozen terrorists from al-Shabab, an Islamic terror group, launched an attack inside the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya. On Monday morning, September 23rd, it was learned that IRS Tax Exemptions Director Lois Lerner was resigning.

Lerner: Resigned despite not having done “anything wrong”.

Coincidence? Most assuredly, but that doesn’t mean Lerner should be off the hook for her decision to grant illegal tax-exempt status to Malik Obama’s Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF) in 2011.

As we’ve reported, Barack Obama’s Muslim family, who lives in Kogelo, Kenya (less than 300 miles north of Nairobi), are involved in financing and supporting Islamic fundamentalism. That is if you believe the words of Musa Ismail Obama. Musa (Barack Obama’s cousin), who told Al-Jazeera in an interview that monies donated to the Mama Sarah Obama Foundation (MSOF) are used to send Kenyan students to the most virulent Wahhabist schools in Saudi Arabia. Musa also implicated Barack’s uncle Sayid as the main conduit between Barack and his Muslim family in Kogelo.

The other Obama family member in Kogelo with ties to Islamic fundamentalists is Malik Obama. As we have reported, Malik is the Executive Director of the Islamic Da’wa Organization (IDO), which is an arm of the Sudanese government, led by the Muslim Brotherhood’s Omar al-Bashir. There are photos of Malik at the IDO Conference in 2010, which was led by al-Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity.

A day before the Nairobi attack, Malik spoke publicly for the first time about charges that he is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s worth underscoring that the IDO is under the charge of a Muslim Brotherhood member in President al-Bashir of Sudan. Here is some of what Malik is quoted as saying, via Rasseen (article translated from Arabic):

For the first time, comes a statement directly from the object of the reports and accusations controversial owner Hussein Obama, who said today (Friday), told the Anatolia news in a telephone interview: “I know these allegations are spread on the Internet.” He also denied all the allegations, saying that charges he is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood are ‘nonsense’.”

As an aside, as we’ve reported, Malik’s position as Executive Secretary has caught the attention of the new Egyptian government, which is considering placing the President’s half-brother on the terror watch list. Malik addressed these concerns as well:

He stressed that he did not travel to Egypt in the past, and said: “Yes, I am a Muslim but I do not encourage hatred and violence was not linked to any extremist groups in my life.” and suggested that if these allegations were credible, why wouldn’t the Kenyan media pick it up before international media. Malik continued: “I am employing people in the area of ​​peace and the foundation is registered to carry out peace and charity work.” He stressed the foundation’s role in promoting world peace, adding: “As a member of the large Obama family, I do my duty in the promotion of world peace and human development through the Foundation (Barack Hussein Obama) I founded, just as my brother is doing his duty to the American people and to the world.” {Malik Obama quotes in bold}

Let’s get back to Lois Lerner. Three days after those comments from Malik Obama, we learned that she is resigning. Back on May 22, 2013, Lerner told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that she “(had) not done anything wrong”. If that’s true, why is she resigning? Nealy two weeks ago, emails surfaced in which Lerner referred to Tea Party applications as “very dangerous”, which implicates her in the commission of perjury, despite invoking her fifth amendment right because of what she said prior to doing that:

In response to Lerner’s resignation, Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa said (h/t Daily Mail):

“We still don’t know why Lois Lerner, as a senior IRS official, had such a personal interest in directing scrutiny and why she denied improper conduct to Congress. Her departure does not answer these questions or diminish the Committee’s interest in hearing her testimony.”

As we have long maintained, a different version of this question needs to start getting asked. We would like to slightly adjust Issa’s quote to illustrate the point:

“We still don’t know why Lois Lerner, as a senior IRS official, had such a personal interest in directing scrutiny denying scrutiny and why she denied improper conduct to Congress. Her departure does not answer these questions or diminish the Committee’s interest in hearing her testimony.”

When it comes to Malik Obama’s BHOF, Lerner denied scrutiny while providing expeditious and illegal tax-exempt status to that foundation without investigating its dealings.

According to the Daily Mail Lerner resigned in order to keep her pension, which will likely be over $50,000 annually. Had she been fired, which is what an internal investigation was set to recommend, she would not have been eligible.

This past July, according to POLITICO, Lerner’s attorney said she will not testify unless she is granted immunity. Now that it’s been all but confirmed that she committed perjury (demonstrated by resigning), is going see a significant reduction in annual pay, and is no longer trying to protect her job, perhaps it’s time to grant her immunity so she can tell the world why she granted illegal tax-exempt status to the President’s half-brother.
