Omar Mateen, Terrorist Who Attacked Orlando Gay Club, Had Been Investigated by FBI
Daily Beast ^ | June 12, 2016 | Michael Daly, Justin Miller and Kate Zavadski

Mateen was a 'known quantity' to federal law enforcement before he killed 53 people in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

Omar Mateen of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, came to the attention of federal authorities twice prior to being identified as the gunman in the Orlando nightclub mass shooting, a senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast.

The senior law enforcement source reports that Mateen became a person of interest in 2013 and again in 2014. The Federal Bureau of Investigation at one point opened an investigation on Mateen but subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.

"He's a known quantity," the source said. "He's been on the radar before."

The gunman is said by the source to have been born in New York and to have been married for a time to a woman from New Jersey. His father, Seddique Mateen, appears to reside in Florida, but is said to be presently running for office in Afghanistan.

Oh, the fully corrupt FBI of James Comey, no surprise when a corrupt organization is incompetent. Fish rots from the head down. Mission accomplished.

As soon as the police brought out a muslin cleric, during the briefing, I new it was an Islamic terrorist killing. Don’t forget it’s Ramadan and Western killings will be on the rise.

Obama was warned to not release Moslem terrorists from Guantanamo because it would make the US look weak and invite more Moslem terrorist attacks.

But, no, Obama thinks he’s smarter than the rest of the world combined, so he orders the release of Moslem terrorists from Guantanamo.

And what happens?

A massacre by a Moslem only miles away from where thousands of American children are vacationing.

This massacre belongs to Obama.

What does the koran say about homosexuality again?

Leviticus 20:16.

Don't get me wrong; just because they're better at following their holy book than you are at following yours doesn't make it right.

But let's not pretend there's a great big difference on this issue.

What sayeth The Donald?

Doesn't have to say a thing, does he? He knows he's vindicated.

More importantly, what are Ryan, Cruz, Newt, and the rest of the GOPe crowd who maligned Trump for his position to restrict Mooselimb immigration saying about this incident?

Who and what are THEY blaming?? Have their positions changed on Trump's solution? Or will RYAN and GOPe etal continue to support Zero's Mooselimb refugee invasion?

Probably 2/3 of the islamics in the country are known to be potential trouble. Never gonna happen. There’s no political will.

How about immediately ARRESTING all of the other “Known Quantities” on this list, like today?

Naw. Just don't coordinate with local officials and issue him two gun permits, including one for security instead. Then blame the eeeeevvvil gun, instead of the nut job Islamic terrorist DEMOCRAT instead.

The best thing Trump can do is to say little and let the facts speak for themselves, and hope his supporters don’t make any stupid remarks that he will be asked to explain.

It’s a dead cert that Obama and Hillary will crudely politicize this horrendous crime. Trump would be smart to appear to be above that.

There could be nothing more repulsive than to be perceived as attempting to take advantage of this outrage for political advantage.

The Obama administration has created a “resettlement surge center” which has produced a pouring of 100 Syrian refugees in the U.S. per day. The very real risk to Americans – the lack of proper vetting of these individuals by the quick processing that is being done, almost all of them reported to be Muslims.

Over 100 Syrian refugees have been admitted every day in June according to the federal government’s own database from the Refugee Processing Center. More than 1,000 were admitted in May. The rate of those admitted has sky-rocketed when compared to the 3,755 accepted in fiscal year 2016.

The Conservative Review reported these numbers, and that approximately 100-250 were admitted during the first six months of fiscal year 2016. It noted that the Associated Press reported in April that the federal government set up a “resettlement surge center” in Amman, Jordan in February. The center is now interviewing approximately 600 people a day.

The “vetting” process, already questioned by leaders in the country, has been fast-tracked from 18-24 months to just three months. The “refugee mill” can now go through thousands of applications every month.

PGR88 :"It shows a great level of preplanning with the government - and expectations such muslim atrocities are likely .
You don’t stand next to the head of FBI investigations unless the order comes right from the top. CAIR is now part of the dept of Justice"

A change of Administration will dynamically change the various heads of executive agencies.
Your vote matters .. to make the such necessary changes !
