Well, it doesn't read like that but that's what it is. Lynch says they've cut out all of the Orlando terrorist's references to Islam. They're 'editing' the evidence.
DOJ to scrub Islam references from transcripts of Orlando terrorist's calls to police Published June 20, 2016 FoxNews.com
A partial transcript of the conversations between Mateen, who killed 49 and wounded scores in the June 12 attack at a Florida gay nightclub June 12 is set to be released on Monday. But Lynch, who appeared on numerous Sunday talk shows, said the transcripts will not include Mateen's vow to follow ISIS or any other religious justification for the attack. “What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda,” Lynch told NBC. “We are not going to hear him make his assertions of allegiance [to the Islamic State].”
Critics blasted the move by the administration, which has rejected branding terrorist acts as motivated by radical Islam and has sought to paint the Orlando attack as a gun control issue.
"This is not just a simple wording issue," Rick Grenell, a Fox News contributor and former aide to UN Ambassador John Bolton told Fox and Friends Monday morning. "The fact that Loretta Lynch is somehow redacting the specific enemy that is being called out here is a PR move."
Mateen died in a hail of gunfire after police stormed the venue, but not before pledging his allegiance to the Islamic State terror group, even during his shooting rampage inside the gay nightclub.
Lynch said a top goal, while intensifying pressure on ISIS, is to build a complete profile of him in order to help prevent another massacre like Orlando.
“We are trying to re-create the days, the weeks, the months of this killer’s life before this attack,” said Lynch, who spoke on all of the major Sunday talk shows. “And we are also asking those people who had contact with him to come forward and give us that information as well.”

"And we are also asking those people who had contact with him to come forward and give us that information as well.” So this information can be redacted and never see the light of day and the contacts offering the information can be silenced.

Trying to solve a problem by specifically refusing to acknowledge the real cause, is stupid. Kinda like addressing inner city violence, but not being allowed to blame those responsible for it, and holding them accountable.

They probably do need to know a little more about the jihadi, but what they are saying they are going to do is a waste of time & in the end they won't know a damn things that they don't already know. Fairly obvious who & what he was............... MM

I suspect they are removing his references to "Islam". Nothing radical about it.

Allowing people to be aware of the real killer is problematic for their gun control agenda right now. Perception of this event will shape the election. They need a cornerstone issue to win on and they've selected gun control to take everyone's attention away from Clinton scandals. Trump is trying to focus on the Islamic threat. They are trying to fabricate a reality that's more convenient for them.

When a crazy white boy shoots up a southern church, oh boy. All symbols of the confederacy are called to be removed, all over the country.
When an Islamic jihadist attacks, can't even mention who he is and who he represents. The DOJ even made strong warnings to anyone threatening the civil rights of any muslims (revenge).

I noticed that when Hussein gave his latest speech lecture about gun control, he compared the event in Orlando to Sandy Hook where a white loser shot a bunch of innocent kids. I'm sure it was no accident that he didn't compare the mass shooting in Orlando by a Muslim extremist to the mass shooting in San Bernidino by a Muslim extremist. That would show a pattern, wouldn't it?

The .gov knows best, don't you know.
A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

You can bet your ass if some cowboy with a 6 shooter had called and made threats they would have released all of it, and then some...
It's alteration of facts and history.

It's alteration of facts and history. Yeah imagine the infinitesimally detailed transcript of a white, male, Christian, military veteran, Republican, NRA member.

James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.

Owl, I'll watch that later,....still a pretty nice morning, and I'd rather not get down. I'll wait for a time more hellish, tortuous, and bleak.
Good Lord this is looking like Orwell for sure certain.
