Ex-Al Qaeda Captive Matt Schrier Says FBI, Under Mueller and Comey, Betrayed Him
[PJ] An American photojournalist who in 2013 escaped from an al Qaeda affiliate prison in Aleppo, Syria, after six torturous months claims that the FBI betrayed him by putting intelligence gathering ahead of his personal security while he was in captivity. And he claims that for the past four years, the Bureau has had two of the terrorists who robbed him in custody, yet no indictments have been forthcoming.Matt Schrier was abducted in late December of 2012 by al-Nusra and escaped from prison in July of 2013. Now he's blowing the whistle on the FBI. In an interview with Fox News' Martha MacCallum last week, Schrier said the terror network stole his financial information and used his own money to buy at least a dozen computers and tablets. The former hostage said he knows "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the FBI was monitoring his accounts. "And this is because the agent told me she thought I joined al Qaeda because they paid off my Discover card. That’s what it takes to fool the FBI," Schrier said. "So, because they thought I joined, and I was basically judged guilty until proven innocent, they started monitoring everything and they saw. They were buying laptops, ten at once, tablets on eBay. And, you gotta think, this is a dream come true. We intercept the laptops, we get the IP addresses, maybe put some GPSs, some microphones in and we deliver them right into the hands of al Qaeda. And they spy. And me, well, I’m not coming home anyway so no harm, no foul. As long as you’re not me." Schrier also told MacCallum that the FBI fooled his mother into thinking he was okay and never even told his father he’d been kidnapped. Schrier said that at first, he thought the FBI was just incompetent, but after he started investigating, he learned that the FBI agent handling his case had been "lying about a lot of things." "I know that they wronged me," Schrier said. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-03-31 |
