Rumor Check: Ex-FBI Agent Claims Obama’s CIA Nominee Is Really a Secret Muslim

Did President Obama nominate an Islamic convert with a decades old connection to the most anti-American variant of that religion to a post no less potent than the director of the CIA?

That is the hot charge against John Brennan that gained rapid viral traction over the weekend because of comments made by an ex-FBI agent known for his efforts to expose radical Islamists.

John Guandolo first made the accusation during a recent radio interview. Today he repeated the charge during an interview with TheBlaze in which we pressed him to provide details that might substantiate his case.

There is a lot to sort through here, and as is often the case when viral charges start to spread, readers would be wise to keep an eye out for as many hard facts as possible.

Let’s start with the radio interview that triggered the current viral wave. Guandolo made a third party accusation during a Friday interview with the famously anti-Muslim talk show host Tom Trento. The entire interview can be viewed below

Another rumor I hadn't heard, it would look as though much has already been scrubbed from YouTube, we can't be letting people decide by themselves.

This rumor's been around for months. Surprised you have missed it. Considering the source and the ways he has publicized it, I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep over it.

Hmm, Rino mocking it using Salon as proof, could be true then.

ABC posing as a non MSM reporter ...

Linda, will you please tell us for whom you voted in this last election, and state your reasons why?

Or did you simply stay home and not vote at all ... thereby helping to get Obama re-elected?

Ha! Ha!

It is indeed an enigma Rock, but hope springs eternal ... she just might come in to answer it one way or another.

Let's wait and see!

World Nuts Daily covered it as well, if that's more to your taste.

Why do you need to know? I'm not the one who put Obama over the top. The absolute truth is that my finger aimed for the Romney button, and I scrunched my eyes shut as I hit it, so I wouldn't have to look. Then the machine said I had voted. I didn't vote for Obama the first time based on his lack of experience more than anything else, and I didn't vote for him the second time (I'm pretty sure....) because I didn't approve of some of his policies. But if you want me to say I was crazy, madly, deeply, passionate for a Mitt victory, I can't do that.

Oh, and if YOU want to tell me who YOU voted for, and STATE YOUR REASONS WHY..... Well, I don't give a shit. :)

I didn't spend a lot of time looking. It's rumor mill stuff, and I don't give much attention to things like that. I see no basis for thinking it's true.
