What Elibiary seems to be saying here is basically “trust me.” He assures us he is sensitive to “legitimate concerns” about the US Muslim Brotherhood. He has met with what have been considered to be Muslim Brotherhood front groups and satisfied himself abouttheir “perspectives on Islamism/Political Islam in our country.” He believes that they are“operating as American organizations fully within the bounds of US law.”
But Elibiary’s goes on to make clear that he thinks some aspects of US law should notapply to these organizations—namely, the prohibitions on material support for terrorism.He goes on to describe the interference he has run with the US government on behalf of Muslim Brotherhood entities in America. The implication seems to be that the US government was preparing to indict components of the US Muslim Brotherhood network besides the Holy Land Foundation—and, that he played a role in stopping it from happening.
