In "Muslim Mafia," co-author Sperry, an investigative journalist and expert on terrorism, and Gaubatz, a counter-terrorism investigator and former Air Force special agent, exhaustively document how the nonprofit CAIR operates under the ultimate purpose of making fundamental changes in the United States. CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad shakes hands with intern Chris Gaubatz, aka David Marshall, at CAIR's national headquarters in Washington, D.C., in 2008 The investigation was described as even more daring than the recent ACORN sting performed by two young undercover investigators. Gaubatz' own son, Chris Gaubatz, posed as recent Islam convert David Marshall and served as an intern at CAIR's national headquarters in Washington, D.C. Gaubatz spirited out 12,000 pages of documents during the secret operation. At a congressional press conference yesterday, U.S. lawmakers called for an investigation into the Muslim non-profit group suspected of infiltrating congressional offices with interns. Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., founder of the anti-terrorism caucus, said "Muslim Mafia" ties the allegations to an internal memo by CAIR. Myrick's office said the "Muslim Mafia" co-authors unearthed the January 2007 memo. The lawmaker has worked with Sperry to get educational information for her anti-terrorism caucus. She wrote the forward to the book. Myrick, along with Reps. Trent Franks, R-Ariz.; John Shadegg, R-Ariz.; and Paul Broun, R-Ga., are calling on the Department of Justice to share with Congress an executive summary of findings that led the FBI to officially sever ties with CAIR. Myrick noted "Muslim Mafia" also alleges CAIR has connections to Hamas. She points out the Muslim group was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation trial in Texas. The case resulted in guilty verdicts to 108 charges stemming from the funneling of more than $12 million to Hamas. The lawmakers also urging the Capitol's sergeant at arms to see whether CAIR infiltrated congressional offices, specifically the judiciary, intelligence and homeland security committees, as referenced in the 2007 memo. Finally, Myrick and her colleagues are asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the legality of CAIR's non-profit status.
