Why would the FBI follow up a tip without a bribe?
...and folks this here is the whole reason of the indictments yesterday...
to take the FBI out of the new cycle because they screwed up so bad on this and 17 people are dead...
Orlando; San Bernadino; Columbine; Boston; Las Vegas; and we could keep on going...
what can we possibly expect, for goodness sakes’ let’s cut the fbi some slack..... after all, they’re VERY BUSY with Mueller and the rest of the WashDC SwampCritters... trying to overthrow the govmt
Hey it takes a lot of resources to destroy a POTUS.
You think that is /s? Yesterday a postal clerk shared with me that some people coming into the PO voiced it was Trump’s fault.
Of course they didn’t investigate. This isn’t the traditional FBI anymore. This is the new weaponized FBI, doing the work of Hillary and Barack. Spying on Americans, creating fictional records, destroying paper trails, entrapment of political enemies. They don’t have time for that other stuff anymore.
FBI Statement on the Shooting in Parkland, Florida
https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-statement-on-the-shooting-in-parkland-florida
“On January 5, 2018, a person close to Nikolas Cruz contacted the FBI’s Public Access Line (PAL) tipline to report concerns about him. The caller provided information about Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.
Under established protocols, the information provided by the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life. The information then should have been forwarded to the FBI Miami Field Office, where appropriate investigative steps would have been taken.
We have determined that these protocols were not followed for the information received by the PAL on January 5. The information was not provided to the Miami Field Office, and no further investigation was conducted at that time.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said:
“We are still investigating the facts. I am committed to getting to the bottom of what happened in this particular matter, as well as reviewing our processes for responding to information that we receive from the public. It’s up to all Americans to be vigilant, and when members of the public contact us with concerns, we must act properly and quickly.
“We have spoken with victims and families, and deeply regret the additional pain this causes all those affected by this horrific tragedy. All of the men and women of the FBI are dedicated to keeping the American people safe, and are relentlessly committed to improving all that we do and how we do it.”
The FBI was too busy chasing non-existent Trump-Russia collusion
leads. Wray should be fired. Then Rosenliar, then Sessions.
All should be fired.
The FBI has the blood of 17 innocent lives on its hands.
FBI Director Christopher Wray needs to step down for accoutability. It maybe unfair but the facts already admitted to require it.
So, we taxpayers are on the hook for the FBI salaries, but also the mega-lawsuits, which are being filed as we speak.
Bulldoze the Hoover building and fence in a herd of hogs.
It’s almost as if whoever it was in DC that received the tip of an unstable white guy in Florida welcomed the possibility of a mass shooting.
Is it true that the FBI was forced to confirm this publicly only after a blogger posted the Cruz YouTube videos?
FBI was too busy spying on political opponents and sleeping with one another.
Dems don't want to offend Latinos. But if his name was Boris....there would have been 50 agents on it...
My bet: The FBI was told to stand down by the CIA. They planned to use (manipulate) Cruz for exactly this purpose.
I hope Cruz is being heavily guarded and watched carefully so he isn’t murdered/suicided like Lee Harvey Oswald. I’d like to see the truth come out.
Sorry. But it is too easy and wrong to blame the FBI. The real falt lies with the local authorities and the rules, regulations and restraints they have imposed on themselves dealing with dangerous lunatics. Remember Cruz was visited at least 39 times by local police, had innumerable contact with government social works and educators. None of those interventions, which strenuously respected his rights, were effective or protected the community They never did what needed to be doe. Al were careful to follow the rules and in the end protect themselves from criticism, complaints, lawsuits or loss of job. There were no street smart cops who knew how to handle the situation. If there were, they knew they would not get any support from superiors or politicians if they did what was needed. The FBI? Now we expect a national police agency to handle local problems? The problem is that this culture is conditioned to vent its emotional horror on inanimate objects such as guns rather than the murderous lunatic that was never stopped. Fundamental change needs to occur. People need to examine the politically correct attitudes and policies that handcuffed all those people who dealt with Cruz
While there may be other good reasons that the current head of the FBI maybe out to resign, this particular incident is not one of them, regardless of what at least one politician has demanded.
The operational and observational errors that occurred by some in the FBI - and direct oversight of them - were the responsibility of FBI persons further down in the chain of command, and the political demands on the FBI should not be that the head of the FBI resign.
However, those demands should be that he fire and/or demand the resignation of some individuals somewhere down inside the FBI, where the errors took place. Then, the next political response can be set by whether the FBI director takes those actions or not.
What does that even mean? They were hand-fed the guy's name so any "investigation of the remark" had to turn up who made it unless they decided to delete the name before reading the sentence and deciding, like they have a habit of, that "there's no threat here - back to the lunchtime cocktails - it's almost 10 AM"....
