“Nidal Hasan was radicalized and reached out to an Islamic cleric about the permissibility of waging jihad against his fellow service members. The Obama administration had the emails and did nothing!”

The Washington Post reported that an FBI-led task force obtained Hasan's emails with Anwar al-Awlaki between late 2008 and June 2009 and did not forward them to the military before the Nov. 5, 2009 Fort Hood shooting. The FBI did assess the messages; investigators concluded they posed no threat and treated them as research, so the government was not inactive.
