#Virginia Somali Muslim @FBI translator caught talking to #ISIS suspects, has own voice intercepted on terror surveillance calls, only gets PROBATION for lying & falsifying documents❗️

Not even deportation⁉️

His SON convicted of transporting high-powered weapons in #ISIS case❗️
💣 Abdirizak Wehelie falsified transcripts in a terror case and lied to the FBI about it. His son was convicted of illegally transporting high-powered weapons in an ISIS case. Yet all he got was probation and the family is not being deported⁉️
⚠️The aptly described “terror-linked #CAIR” represented the jihadi family.
💣A former FBI translator was sentenced to probation Friday after he admitted doctoring transcripts when his own voice came up on intercepts of phone calls placed by a terrorism suspect.
Abdirizak Wehelie of Burke, Virginia, also received a $1,000 fine at his sentencing hearing.
⚠️ Wehelie, 68, pleaded guilty in November to making false statements. He admitted he marked himself down as an “unidentified male” when a target of FBI surveillance left a message on Wehelie’s cellphone in 2012, while Wehelie was working as a contract linguist for the FBI.
💣 Wehelie worked as a contractor for the FBI from 2012 to 2015. In December 2012, a man targeted by the FBI in an investigation connected to the Al-Shabab terrorist group in Somalia called and left a voicemail message for Wehelie.
⚠️ The call was intercepted under court-ordered surveillance, and Wehelie was tasked the next day with translating the call. He marked himself down as “unidentified male” even though the voicemail message on Wehelie’s cellphone identified him as “Abdirizak Wehelie.”
💣 The Wehelie family has faced government scrutiny for a decade. Two of Wehelie’s adult children were placed on the no-fly list and denied re-entry to the U.S. for several weeks in 2010, before Abdirizak Wehelie began his work for the FBI.
⚠️ Yahya & Yusuf Wehelie were subject of Intl news coverage when they said they were detained & tortured after traveling to Yemen to learn Arabic. After a delay of several weeks &pressure from Muslim civil rights groups, the brothers were allowed to return to the U.S.
⚠️💣👉🏼The son❗️👉🏼 2017, Yusuf Wehelie was sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegally transporting high-powered weapons in a case where he spoke with an undercover witness about his desire to shoot up a military recruitment center on behalf of the Islamic State group.
