Detained Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leader, Khairat Al-Shater, is claiming he possesses evidence that would result in the imprisonment of President Barack Obama. On August 6, Obama sent a bipartisan delegation including Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), as well as members from the State Department to Egypt’s capital to settle the controversy. Obama ordered the delegation to persuade Egyptian officials to release the Muslim Brotherhood leaders in exchange for keeping the incriminating information concealed. Al-Shater’s son, Saad Al-Shater, told the Turkish media that his father has “hand in hand” evidence to destroy Obama. The media released a statement involving Al-Shater’s allegations—“In an interview with the Anatolia News Agency, Saad Al-Shater, the son of a Muslim Brotherhood leader, the detained Khairat Al-Shater, said that his father had in his hand evidence that will land the head of United States of America, President Obama, in prison. He stressed that the senior U.S. delegation currently visiting Egypt, knows full well that the fate, future, interests and reputation of their country is in the hands of his father, and they know that he owns the information, documents and recordings that incriminate and would condemn their country. Such documents, he says, were placed in the hands of people who were entrusted inside and outside Egypt, and that the release of his father is the only way for them to prevent a great catastrophe. He stated that a warning was sent threatening to show how the U.S. administration was directly connected. The evidence was sent through intermediaries which caused them to change their attitude and corrected their position, and that they have taken serious steps to prove good faith. Saad also said that his father’s safety is more important to the Americans than is the safety of Mohamed Morsi.” In the Aug. 6 meeting with Egyptian officials, the American delegation encouraged the release of the Muslim Brotherhood prisoners. They reiterated that not releasing the prisoners would be “a huge mistake.” Egyptian officials, however, were not pleased with the delegation’s request and called it an “unacceptable interference in internal politics.” What do you think? Why is the government covering for Obama?
