Obama DOJ Ordered 500,000 Fugitives Deleted From Background Check Database

The Obama administration ordered the removal of over 500,000 fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) in late 2016, according to testimony from Acting FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich.

Bowdich confirmed a November report from the Washington Post which set the figure at "tens of thousands," after Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) asked him if more than 500,000 names were dropped from the database.

The FBI purged the names from the database after the Justice Department changed its legal interpretation of “fugitive from justice” to say it pertains only to wanted people who have crossed state lines.

What that means is that those fugitives who were previously prohibited under federal law from purchasing firearms can now buy them, unless barred for other reasons. -WaPo

“That was a decision that was made under the previous administration,” Bowdich testified.

“It was the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel that reviewed the law and believed that it needed to be interpreted so that if someone was a fugitive in a state, there had to be indications that they had crossed state lines,” said Bowdich. “Otherwise they were not known to be a fugitive under the law in the way it was interpreted.”

Is it any wonder.... we shouldn't be surprised

Thanks Eddessa. I'm not surprised at all.

Yet we have two individuals on this forum who believe Obama did no wrong.

Scrubbed databases.
Released high profile terrorists in exchange for a traitor.
Put sick people on buses and shipped them all over the US.
Pardoned thousands of dangerous inmates.
Released thousands of illegals.
Put coal miners, oil drillers, loggers out of work.
Got a health care bill passed that nobody read and cost people their health insurance, their Dr.'s .
Send billions to Iran...STATE SPONSERED TERRORISTS
Gave thousands of weapons to Mexican drug cartels.
What part of any of this says, I love Americans.
I can't even fathom the amount of hatred he has for us.

Thanks CARBOB. Oh well, we present enough facts to sort through for anyone with an open mind.

Thanks Sully. That hatred so thick you can't even cut through it.

sully, Remember when he said the sweetest sound was the muslim morning call to prayer? He could have hung a big sign on the WH saying death to America, and the libbies would still love him.

Thanks Grwurston. Maybe we all suffered from cognitive dissonance the first few years of his rule. However most of us woke up.

Thanks Sully. To each their own opinion but an opinion doesn't make it an absolute for all of us.

Sully, once you see it in black and white it is a real eye opener. (And for your liberal idiots, I am not talking racism). It is hard to fathom all the crap he did. And to this day he thinks he was one smart president. I just see pictures of that smug jerk and I seethe.

Thanks Lejardin. Seeing into things is a personal choice. The MSM had us all for awhile but what was happening was different from what we saw so there is a great awakening.

I for one appreciate the many good points being made by the above

Aye the closer we L@@K the better we see

The thing that hurts us the most, is to witness the Future and still deny the Past

THE EVIDENCE KEEPS ACCUMULATING

he face of the beast always get known & the time of the beast always passes >>>>

Stay Tuned - more secrets to be revealed but more are concealed

Thanks Eddessa. As more tumbles out with irrefutable evidence backing it up, hopefully people will be able to awaken.
