Speaker Ryan Calls on Administration to Release Complete Orlando 911 Transcript

By BENJAMIN SIEGEL Jun 20, 2016, 3:32 PM ET

House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday called on the Obama administration to release the full transcript of Orlando gunman Omar Mateen's conversations with police, and he criticized law enforcement's decision to release partial transcripts of the three 911 calls.

“Selectively editing this transcript is preposterous," Ryan said in a statement. "We know the shooter was a radical Islamist extremist inspired by ISIS. We also know he intentionally targeted the LGBT community. The administration should release the full, unredacted transcript so the public is clear-eyed about who did this, and why.”

Authorities decided to remove elements of the transcript that referenced terrorist group ISIS, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Sunday.

Lynch, in an interview on "This Week," told ABC's Jonathan Karl that authorities did not want to "revictimize those who went through that horror" or "broadcast" Mateen's pledges of allegiance to terror groups.

I do not understand how the references to Islamic State would revictimize anyone who lost loved ones in Orlando.

I also do not understand how the redaction would prevent Islamic State from gaining some sort of advantage.

The killer proclaimed allegiance to Islamic State and its leader. Why conceal that?

Were do this people come off. Blame President Obama for not releasing audio or transcriptions. Holy cow,this is the Justice Departments call,not the Presidents. Ryan has to get his head out of his butt. Time to really get serious about this demagogues and run them out of office.
