As far as the letter itself, were it not to have mentioned Huma Abedin or others, I don't see where there was much wrong with it.
Yeah, well, guess you have an "interesting" take on things. Reminds me of that scene in "The Manchurian Candidate" where the co-conspirators (husband and wife -- played by Angela Lansbury) were cooking up a scheme to make some sort of wild accusation regarding the current administration. As the scene fades, the husband (looking to be nominated to run for president/vice-president) is seen shaking a bottle of Heinz Ketchup. As the next scene opens, he his holding a press conference where he is making the accusation that "...there are
57 members of the Communist Party now serving in the State Department."
Of course, just like bat-$hit crazy Michelle, a total fabrication.
If you recall, rep. Cynthia McKinney accused George Bush of having prior knowledge of 9/11 and not acting upon that information to prevent the worst attack on the American people in our history. Here were her statements from that time. Mckinney- "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11. What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?"
While this is not necessarily the majority view, a substantial minority believe that the Bush administration had several warnings that something big like 9/11 was coming and did little (obviously not enough) to prevent it. Please see:

Furthermore, Ms. Mckinney was hardly the only one asking these types of questions. In fact, some of the rather significant outcomes of the investigations into 9/11 resulted from this line of inquiry, specifically including the intelligence gathering and sharing process.
In any case, one of the certain outcomes of this awful tragedy (9/11), is that it gave the rapidly failing Bush administration new life, enabled him to start two lengthy wars, and actually be elected President in 2004.
So Michele Bachmann co-writes a letter, basically saying that we know that one of the methods of the Muslim Brotherhood will be to try to plant moles within our government, and we should look into Huma Abedin as perhaps compromised due to her relatives relations with the Muslim Brotherhood, without any supporting evidence. If that isn't correct, let me know, but from what I have heard and read that is pretty much the short of it. Then we have McKinney who accused a sitting president of having prior knowledge of the planned 9/11 attacks and perhaps not taking action so he could have an excuse to go to war and make profits, again without any supporting evidence. Michele Bachmann is leading us back to McCarthyism, has proven herself racist, and is a kook. Cynthia McKinney who, in my opinion, made a much worse accusation (murder), well she was just viewed as a kook at the time. I don't recall any democrats, or republicans either for that matter, suggesting her accusation was proof of her being a racist.
Well, hell, there is nothing whatsoever racist in the quotes of Ms. McKinney that you present here.
And please, you're worried about Bush having been a "sitting president?" Good grief, after all the outlandish things President Obama has been accused of (remember, he is the
current "sitting president"), I would hardly think you would want to go down THAT path.
Just sayin'...
