CNN's Jake Tapper makes a good point.

Members of Congress meet with this person and some even act offended when journalists ask about it. https://t.co/xcL5U46vln

Stephen Miller asks Tapper a very pertinent question.

Which members? https://t.co/4iNF7oVMer

Not only current Democrat members of Congress, like Maxine Waters, meet with Farrakhan. Democrat Senator Barack Obama met with him, too.

This photo was hidden, kept from the public for more than a decade. The photographer, Askia Muhammad, tells the story.

It was during a mid-2005 Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) meeting on Capitol Hill when award-winning journalist Askia Muhammad captured one of the most significant photos of his career.

Muhammad had doggedly covered then Chicago Sen. Barack Obama since he "first laid eyes on him" at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Now, here was the Senator in a warm conversation with constituent and fellow Chicagoan Minister Louis Farrakhan. As leader of the Nation of Islam, Farrakhan is another star in Black America, but one whose name is synonymous with controversy.

Wasting no time, Muhammad snapped the news photo. But moments later, he faced a dilemma.

Obama had already become the darling of national Democratic politics. And the scent of a presidential run was strong.

Muhammad and others almost immediately realized that the public release of this photo could mean major trouble down the road. Mainly because of bigotry and fear-mongering, the public release of that photo could doom America's chances of electing Obama as its first Black President.

Muhammad had not even left the scene when he received a call and the photo was being summoned by a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Muhammad ultimately surrendered the disk to Minister Farrakhan's chief of staff. And it remained one of America's best hidden secrets for the next 12 years.

For the first time, more than a decade later, the glowing photograph of now former President Barack Obama and Minister Louis Farrakhan has been published in a book by Muhammad to be released Jan. 31 - "The Autobiography of Charles 67X". Muhammad and some political observers still believe that if that photo had been released, it could have drawn enough fire - even from some of Obama's supporters looking for excuses - to dent his chances of becoming President.

"I gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy," Muhammad said in an exclusive interview with the Trice Edney News Wire this week. "But after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was President, it was kept under cover."

So many secrets, so many cover-ups.
