President Obama waives law that forbids U.S. from providing ‘aid and comfort’ to the enemy
Yesterday, the President waived a federal provision specifically designed to prevent the U.S. from supplying arms to terrorist groups in order to begin providing military assistance to the Syrian rebels.
“Today I come to you with the news that our President actually waived the restriction on countries supplying arms to international terrorists, specifically Al‑Qaeda. And the reason why he waived that is because we’re providing arms to international terrorists, specifically Al‑Qaeda,” Glenn said. “Now, if that isn’t an act of treason, I don’t know what is. If that is not an act of insanity, I don’t know what is.”
“This isn’t, ‘Well, we don’t know who the terrorists are. We don’t know who the rebels are.’ No, no. Mr. President, you apparently do know exactly who they are because you felt compelled to waive the restriction on arming them,” he continued. “Now, why would you do that? So you can no longer make the case ‘We don’t know who these guys are’ because the President felt compelled to tell us who they are by waiving the restrictions. They’re international terrorists. If that’s not an act of suicide, if that’s not an act finally of the President admitting we’re on the wrong side – when you have to waive the law so you can arm terrorists, you’re on the wrong side.”
While we know that not all of the rebels are terrorists, arming any faction that includes known terrorists is in direct violation of our federal laws, which is why President Obama was forced to waive the restrictions that prevented such action.
The Law:
The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced today that he would "waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction."
Those two sections prohibit sending weaponry to countries described in section 40(d): "The prohibitions contained in this section apply with respect to a country if the Secretary of State determines that the government of that country has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism," Congress stated in the Arms Control Export Act.
"For purposes of this subsection, such acts shall include all activities that the Secretary determines willfully aid or abet the international proliferation of nuclear explosive devices to individuals or groups or willfully aid or abet an individual or groups in acquiring unsafeguarded special nuclear material," the law continues.
The law allows the president to waive those prohibitions if he "determines that the transaction is essential to the national security interests of the United States."
No such Nation Security Interest is known or has been stated by the President or SOS.

CIA EMPLOYEE WHO REFUSED NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT ON BENGHAZI SUSPENDED
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) revealed Monday that his office received anonymous information that a CIA employee who refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement, banning him from discussing the terrorist attack in Benghazi, has been suspended and was forced to hire legal counsel.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Wolf said that the CIA employee is reportedly facing an internal backlash after his refusal to sign a legal document prohibiting him from publicly or privately discussing the circumstances surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attack that left four Americans dead.
In early August, Fox News reported that at least five CIA employees were forced to sign nondisclosure agreements (NDA’s) last spring following the Benghazi attack. They had already signed such agreements prior to the attack but were told to sign new agreements the goal of which was to dissuade survivors from leaking information to the media.
At the same time, CNN reported that dozens of CIA employees who were in Benghazi on the night of the attack on September 11, 2012 were intimidated into remaining silent. The report indicated that, since January, CIA operatives involved in the agency’s missions in Libya were forced to submit to frequent, sometimes monthly, polygraph examinations. CNN concluded that the CIA “is involved in what one source calls an unprecedented attempt to keep the spy agency’s Benghazi secrets from ever leaking out.”
