Double standard? Tulsi Gabbard on watchlist while terror suspect let go to plan assassinations --The FBI allowed Asif Raza Merchant to enter the U.S. in April with special permission even though he was flagged on a terrorism watchlist while the TSA monitored former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard under a separate program. | 9 Aug 2024 | While the Biden regime placed former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on a watchlist, the FBI released into the U.S. on a special parole the Pakistani man who sought to plan an assassination of Donald Trump and other politicians. According to several whistleblowers, Gabbard -- a military officer and former Hawaii congresswoman and presidential candidate -- was placed on a watchlist under Quiet Skies, a TSA surveillance program designed to focus law enforcement resources on travelers that present an elevated risk to aviation security. Yet, while the government surveilled Gabbard, the FBI allowed Asif Raza Merchant to enter the U.S. in April with special permission known as "significant public benefit parole" even though he was flagged on a terrorism watchlist and recently traveled to Iran, according to government documents reviewed and reported on by Just the News. Merchant would later go on to organize an assassination plot targeting U.S. politicians, though he ended up trying to recruit undercover law enforcement as the hitmen leading to his arrest shortly before his attempt to leave the country.
