Group Calls On Boehner To Kick Bachmann Off Intel Committee | The progressive group People for the American Way today called on House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to remove Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) from her post on the House Intelligence Committee after suggesting that U.S. government employees are helping the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrate the U.S. government. PFAW noted that Boehner had criticized Bachmann for her witch hunt and that Huma Abedin, top aide to Secretary of State Hilary Clinton whom Bachmann named as part of the alleged conspiracy, was put under police protection because of receiving threats. “Members of the House Intelligence Committee are entrusted with classified information that affects the safety and security of all Americans,” said PFAW president Michael Keegan. “That information should not be in the hands of anyone with such a disregard for honesty, misunderstanding of national security, and lack of respect for her fellow public servants.”
