Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama\u2019s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett<\/a>, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n Jarrett\u2019s dad, pathologist and geneticist Dr. James Bowman, had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals, his lengthy FBI file<\/a> shows. In 1950 Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage. Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps in 1955, Bowman moved to Iran to work, the FBI records show.<\/p>\n According to Bowman\u2019s government file the Association of Internes and Medical Students is an organization that \u201chas long been a faithful follower of the Communist Party line\u201d and engages in un-American activities. Bowman was born in Washington D.C. and had deep ties to Chicago, where he often collaborated with fellow Communists. JW also obtained documents<\/a> on Bowman from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) showing that the FBI was brought into investigate him for his membership in a group that \u201cfollows the communist party line.\u201d The Jarrett family Communist ties also include a business partnership between Jarrett\u2019s maternal grandpa, Robert Rochon Taylor, and Stern, the Soviet agent associated with her dad.<\/p>\n Jarrett\u2019s father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, was also another big-time Chicago Communist, according to separate FBI files <\/a>obtained by JW as part of a probe into the Jarrett family\u2019s Communist ties. For a period of time Vernon Jarrett appeared on the FBI\u2019s Security Index and was considered a potential Communist saboteur who was to be arrested in the event of a conflict with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics<\/em>\u00a0(USSR). His FBI file reveals that he was assigned to write propaganda for a Communist Party front group in Chicago that would \u201cdisseminate the Communist Party line among\u2026the middle class.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s been well documented that Valerie Jarrett, a Chicago lawyer and longtime Obama confidant, is a liberal extremist who wields tremendous power in the White House. Faithful to her roots, she still has connections to many Communist and extremist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood. Jarrett and her family also had strong ties to Frank Marshal Davis, a big Obama mentor and Communist Party member with an extensive FBI file.<\/p>\n JW has exposed Valerie Jarrett\u2019s many transgressions over the years, including her role in covering up a scandalous gun-running operation carried out by the Department of Justice (DOJ). Last fall JW obtained public records <\/a>that show Jarrett was a key player in the effort to cover up that Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress about the Fast and Furious, a disastrous experiment in which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) allowed guns from the U.S. to be smuggled into Mexico so they could eventually be traced to drug cartels. Instead, federal law enforcement officers lost track of hundreds of weapons which have been used in an unknown number of crimes, including the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona.<\/p>\n
