an FBI agent involved in the investigation said there is no evidence of a connection to terrorism at this point.
That is what the FBI does to make it look like there is no connection to Islam.
They make the truthful observation that they have not proven a thing *yet*.
But it sounds like a flat out statement of *no connection*
It is deliberately done to deceive.
They should be saying, we don’t know. We are investigating.
It is in the interest of police administrators to declare that such investigations in their jurisdictions are all wrapped up, with or without a full body of evidence and with nothing further to add (e.g., the husband did it).
All true.
