The veteran FBI agent and a local sheriff’s deputy took no chances when they got a credible tip about a potential terrorist.
In a joint operation, they ran his name through a maze of federal criminal and terrorism databases and scrutinized his telephone records for suspicious contacts.
Without a warrant, they couldn’t read his emails or listen to his calls. But they watched him from unmarked vehicles to track his daily routine and to see whom he met.
They deployed two confidential informants more than a dozen times to secretly record his conversations. They interviewed him twice and convinced him to provide a written statement — in which he admitted he previously had lied to agents.
In the end, after a counter-terrorism investigation that stretched from May 2013 to March 2014, the agent and his supervisor concluded that Omar Mateen was not a threat and closed the case.
Just over two years later, on June 12, the 29-year-old security guard strode into a packed gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., and massacred 49 people and wounded dozens more in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. He pledged allegiance to Islamic State before he was killed by police.

10 months of suspicion and...nothing?
And I daresay one of the NYPD’s nicknames for the FBI then as now is “buncha humps”.

But apparently it is illegal to not bake someone a cake.
The Muslim Terrorist wife is probably either in the White House or Saudi Arabia.
They determined he was killed by Islamophobia.
#13 Funny thing about that. I just read the other day the Secret court approved ALL requests that were submitted last year.
I know, the request for access Comey’s dog ate.
They knew about the San Bernardino killers ahead of time. They knew about Ft. Hood’s Hasan ahead of time. They knew about the Boston Bombers ahead of time. They knew about the 9/11 terrorists ahead of time. They knew about.....
Hmmm, there seems to be some sort of pattern here.
***The FBI typically only charges someone with lying to agents if there is an underlying crime. In this case, officials said, they had none.***
Right. Scooter Libby and Martha Stewart are the first who come to mind for me.
She’s a relative of some prince so yeah.
I want to know where the San Bernardino grandma and baby are. Just like the Boston Bomber wife who’s out free as a bird but then her family is CIA.
"He didn't shoot them all that bad." and even if he did,
"He didn't intend to."
Yes. The fix is in. The reputation of islam must be protected at all costs. All costs.
This is insane.
Government workers = lazy, worthless bums whose only goal is living off taxpayers their entire lives.
That’s what I thought. LOL!
Right on.
Comey went to private sector, 5 kids to put through college, etc. Needed extra money. Obama must have used the HSBC and the extra bucks to entice him back. As FBI director it would seem that alone is compromising. Did he not check out the money laundering? I don’t know.
Comey’s too busy getting ready for the Symantec conference.
