Turned away: Tashfeen Malik tried to contact Islamic militant groups, but was ignored - and she and her husband 'had planned an even BIGGER attack'

Terrorist Tashfeen Malik tried unsuccessfully to contact multiple Islamic militant groups in the months leading up to the San Bernardino attack, according to officials.

It also emerged on Thursday that Malik's husband and accomplice, Syed Farook, may have had ties to a jihadi recruiter who was convicted last year in connection to a 2012 terrorist plot, and that both he and Malik were reportedly planning an even deadlier attack in California.

Two US government sources said multiple militant groups likely ignored Malik's overtures because they have recently become extremely wary of responding to outsiders who they do not know or who have not been introduced to them out of fear of being caught in a sting operation.

Choosing between running or passing is a decision that can be second guessed.

Failing to secure the residence of a terror suspect before dusting for fingerprints and collecting all the available evidence is utter and blatant incompetence.

If you want to stick with the ridiculous football analogies, it's like literally and purposely dropping the ball.

“Bongino said it was very unusual that the crime scene would be released so soon to the media.

Harry Houck, a law-enforcement analyst for CNN, told Anderson Cooper he didn’t notice any fingerprint dust on the walls as reporters were traipsing through the apartment.

“That would have been visible if it had been tested for fingerprints for people who might have been connected with the two shooters in some way,” he said.”

I agree. With a crime of this magnitude, it’s highly doubtful they’d have finished with the apartment that quickly, especially with different agencies all wanting to look it over. How long was it between the shooting and the place being opened to the press?

Or a fast way to destroy or render unusable any evidence the feds do not want surfacing.

If the feds wanted to destroy the evidence or keep it from surfacing, they would have accidently burned the place to the ground with a tear gas grenade.

Contaminate the evidence, make it inadmissible? Maybe. But wrapping it up in a bow for the press to storm through it? No, even the Feds wouldn't try to "destroy" or "hide" information like that.

He really did. I wonder how many government employees in buildings departments, water departments, etc. are Muslims storing away information.
