New Federal Lawsuits Claim CAIR Engaged in Fraud, Major Cover-Up

Nov. 27, 2012 6:00pm Tiffany Gabbay

On Friday, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) along with the Law Offices of David Yerushalmi, P.C. filed an impactful lawsuit supported by “hundreds of pages of evidence,” asking a federal judge to find the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) liable to five of the controversial Islamic group’s former clients for fraud, infliction of emotional distress and breach of fiduciary duty. According to an AFLC official press release:

The legal brief demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt that CAIR is a criminal organization that deceptively holds itself out to the public as the nation’s largest Muslim-American civil rights organization.

[...] The brief and supporting evidence overwhelmingly demonstrate that CAIR was involved in a massive criminal fraud and cover-up that injured numerous client-victims who had looked to CAIR for legal assistance, yet the CAIR “attorney” allegedly handling their cases was in fact not an attorney.

“According to the facts that are carefully laid out in our legal brief and fully supported by the record evidence,” stated Yerushalmi, “CAIR has engaged in a massive criminal fraud in which numerous CAIR clients have been victimized, and because of the CAIR cover-up many still don’t realize it. The fact that CAIR has victimized Muslims and non-Muslims alike demonstrate that it is only looking out for itself and its ongoing efforts to bilk donors out of millions of dollars of charitable donations thinking they are supporting a legitimate organization.”

AFLC stated, “The supporting evidence, which was compiled after more than a year and a half of contentious discovery that involved numerous document requests, motions to compel the production of documents that CAIR was concealing, and multiple depositions of high-ranking CAIR officials, shows that Morris Days, the “Resident Attorney” and “Civil Rights Manager” at the now defunct CAIR-MD/VA chapter in Herndon, Virginia, was in fact not an attorney and that he failed to provide legal services for clients who came to CAIR for legal representation.

Yerushalmi, who is also co-founder of AFLC, also noted the ties between the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, stating, “the evidence has long suggested that CAIR is an organization set up by the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas to further its aims of stealth Jihad in the United States.”

According to AFLC official statement, the brief and supporting evidence were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in two cases: Saiyed v. CAIR and Lopez v. CAIR. These lawsuits followed an earlier suit which also alleged that CAIR’s fraudulent conduct equated to racketeering, a federal RICO crime. AFLC’s statement reveals that the court ultimately dismissed the RICO counts, concluding that CAIR’s conduct was fraudulent but not a technical violation of RICO.

CAIR, of course, was named by the U.S. Justice Department an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the Holy Land Foundation trial — the largest terror-funding trial in U.S. history.

“SEE WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM”
A prophecy, January 6, 1984: “And we say unto thee, it is also written that the false prophet would go unto a land to bring forth an eagle from a land, and so you have seen it happen. Many shall say, “Let us give praise unto this one.” He deserves no praise, for he is plotting now to overthrow your country. Your country is insignificant to us. What is significant to us is you are a country under the Lord, thy God, and sworn to the allegiance that all men were created equal. That debt the Lord intends to collect. This same person shall see, if he can, the death of many, many of God’s people. For he now sees that the pact with Israel and Egypt is nothing but a piece of paper to be thrown away.
Look deeply into him; see where the money came from.
We asked you this question. If you are Black, you walk out of the prisons of the Islams, from Iran to Syria. If you were of any other nationality, not to be Moslem, would you have walked so easily from these lands? Remember Tehran, and how all Blacks were released, but not the women, or not those of Mexican descent, or any other descent. This was an arrangement that Israel might be sold upon the auction block.”
Was this speaking of the Iran Contra, and the monetary funding and selling of rockets from the U.S. which supported terrorism against Israel? Have we long funded those, in many ways, who seek to destroy our Judeo-Christian faith and Western way of life?

  @November28:
  I got through the 2nd sentence of the second paragraph and had to quit reading.
  
  Tell me what is wrong with this:
  ” Republican senators Phil Graham, John McCain and Kelly Ayotte met with UN ambassador Susan Rice yesterday to discuss her role in the Benghazi cover-up. The result of the meeting was best summed up by Senator Graham, who said he was more disturbed after the meeting than he had been before. As well he should have been.”
  
  Should have just copied and pasted from here:

And it comes out that during Obama’s Arab Spring his Brothers from the Brotherhood just happen to get “elected” to take over Egypt. Then some of those that know about these things going on in the Middle east, that were stationed in nearby Libya die because of a Hate Muslim video. That video of course was done by a criminal who just happened to be able to make this video while on payroll (oops parole). Then a General or four have to resign due to all sorts of behavior issues with mistresses, etc… one being of Hamas (oops again, Palestinian origin.) Boy it sure gets messy, don’t it?
Sure is getting to be an intersting deck of cards.
I just hope and pray someone in Washington or anywhere else in America has the balls to expose and burn this house of cards to the ground. God save America and Bless our military.

AND, CAIR is received with open arms through the front door of the White House having access to the fraud-in-chief. There should be no questions now who is this country’s greatest enemy and terrorist, and lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Don’t expect the backing of head coward, Eric Holder. He only prosecutes White people.

Hamas-linked CAIR should be booted out of America. It is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists-in-suits whose plan is to bring down America from within. It’s no secret. They’ve outlined it in their 25-point Muslim Brotherhood plan.

  Hey Slayer,
  
  You’re absolutely spot on. I’ll be surprised if Eric Holder doesn’t come along and call CAIR “my people” in congressional testimony!
  
  If we could just convince the folks of the need to become energy independent, we could tell the Saudis to go pound sand and take your “academies” with you. Our political system has been so corrupted by the tsunami of Saudi oil money that it’s incomprehensible. For a great treatment, please go to http://www.muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com. Frank Gaffney does a great job and goes deep into the MB’s infiltration into the military and DoJ.
  
  Another great read is Dave Gaubatz’s “Muslim Mafia.” His son infiltrated CAIR by posing as an intern and got to sort through all the paperwork that was supposed to be shredded. Nobody said that jihadists had to be brilliant!

Well, lets see what the eventual adjudication of the case results in — I am not very hopeful that it will result in any meaningful ruling related to the Holder run DoJ, if it is in any way connected to the proceedings.

Let all patriotic Amerikans hope that these frivolous lawsuits are summarily dismissed with prejudice. Amerika has an overabundance of “lawyers” and similar opportunists. Long Live CAIR !!! Long Live the Muslim Brotherhood !!!
