Though not seen in the photos above, the Political Director of the SETF at the time of McCain’s visit was also with him. Her name is Elizabeth O’Bagy who, after being released for not revealing a conflict of interest last year, was actually hired by McCain as Shoebat.com reported.
As for the SETF, the controversy surrounding O’Bagy is well-documented. As Shoebat.com reported, McCain inadvertently exposed it during a Senate Committee hearing.
In the weeks that followed, the SETF website underwent significant but incremental changes. Perhaps the first alteration was the removal of the photo of Ahmad Soliman. As Shoebat.com reported, of the four individuals pictured below, Soliman’s removal being first was likely not by accident. He had by far, the most demonstrable history showing connections to Muslim Brotherhood front groups. While at the University of Michigan, Soliman attended the ISNA reunion there and had connections to the local MSA chapter and CAIR. All of these are Muslim Brotherhood front groups.
