In June–July 2012, Bachmann and several other Republican legislators[153] sent a series of letters to oversight agencies at five federal departments citing "serious security concerns" about what Bachmann has called a "deep penetration in the halls of our United States government" by the Muslim Brotherhood. They requested formal investigations into what Bachmann called "influence operations" by the Brotherhood.[154][155]
Bachmann also accused Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Rep. Anthony Weiner's wife, of having family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Bachmann's comments have drawn what the Washington Post calls "fierce criticism from fellow lawmakers and religious groups."[154] In a speech on the Senate floor, 2008 Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain denounced Bachmann's charges as "specious and degrading". He defended Abedin as a "hard-working and loyal servant of our country and our government" and stated "these attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis and no merit. They need to stop now."[154] House Speaker John Boehner termed Bachmann's allegations "dangerous", and other Republicans have also criticized the remarks.[156]
In a letter to Bachmann, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., a Muslim, asked for evidence backing her claims and stated, "Your response simply rehashes claims that have existed for years on anti-Muslim websites and contains no reliable information that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the U.S. government".[154]
Bachmann has replied that "the intention of the letters was to outline the serious national security concerns I had and ask for answers to questions regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical group's access to top Obama administration officials".[157][158] In a July 19 interview with radio and TV show host Glenn Beck, Bachmann repeated and expanded her allegations, accusing Ellison of having "a long record of being associated with the Council on American–Islamic Relations and with the Muslim Brotherhood".[159] Ellison replied that "I am not now, nor have I ever been, associated with the Muslim Brotherhood."[159]

Where is the proof/facts of Huma being guilty of anything?
She's Muslim and associated with Muslim organizations - - - shocking.
No bias propaganda in that video

Where is the proof of Trump being guilty of anything. All we have right now is that Hillary's emails are back under a Federal investigation. Not a security review but a real official investigation. Fairly serious situation this close to election day. That is the scorecard right now. One is being investigated by the Federal Government. One is not being investigated.

I can tell you what this video proves. Someone is trying reeeeaaaalllll hard to influence this election. All you have to do is plant the seed of doubt in people's minds. You don't really have to prove anything. Just say it as if it were true and have a bunch of photos, fancy charts, and arrows. It's got "truthiness", as Stephen Colbert said.
