#2 No evidence he knew or had contacts with Anwar al-Awlaki or Bin Laden. Please queue up 'lone wolf' theory.

#4 Perhaps if the Feebs had reassigned a few of the 16 agents they had investigating the NASCAR "Noose" case, they might have noticed something. And don't get me started on the hundreds they have chasing down the 1/6 "insurrectionists".

#5 Another day, another failure
If it was a failure - timing is suspiciously convenient for jump-starting pending gun-control actions.

#7 He was probably neck deep with ISIS but that doesn’t fit the narrative so they are playing the crazy card

#9 ^Yea, but how many such warnings FBI receives each day?

#10 I'm sure they get a lot every day but if one of those warnings relates to someone getting a gun purchase background check you would think it would warrant a bit of attention.

Nobody has said he got the gun illegally, so the FBI has to take the heat for being incompetant. Perhaps another organization needs to be put in charge of background checks.

Good find, NoMoreBS. I didn’t see that really important information anywhere else — Rantburg truly is a team project.

#15 Gun Free Zone has approached that (Passover shopping) topic.

Obviously, everyone who has worked on the case knows the answer to this by now.

It is odd The Narrator has skipped the act of victim beatification.

#16 "So what do we do about this Issa character, Jim?"

"Meh. The SPLC just sent in more doxxes, they're important, Rick."

"Some kind of supremacists?"

"Worse. Nationalists. Some were seen wearing 'USA' T-shirts in a Starbucks."

"God damn! Let's go get 'em."
