FBI to Islamic terrorists: We've got your back
2016-06-24
[The American Thinker] Add Orlando shooter Omar Mateen to the FBI's Most Protected Terrorist list . Like Ft. Hood's Nidal Hasan and the Boston Marathon’s Tsarnaev brothers, Mateen has joined the protected and privileged class of suspected Muslim terrorists allowed to roam free until they shoot or blow up innocent Americans.

Following the Pulse nightclub slaughter, sources confirmed Mateen had been interviewed by the FBI in May of 2013 and May of 2014 concerning his connections to Hezb'allah and al-Qaeda.

The FBI was also aware that Mateen had traveled to Saudi Arabia on two separate occasions; made threatening remarks to co-workers; and, two weeks before the killings, had visited a gun shop wanting to purchase body armor and bulk ammunition. When employees of the shop notified the FBI, officials called the store but failed to follow up.

Director Comey defended the FBI’s actions, stating:

"I don’t see anything in reviewing our work that our agents should have done differently...Our work is very challenging, we are looking for needles in a nationwide haystack but we’re also called upon to figure out which pieces of hay might someday become needles."

#4  He could have stopped at " I don't see anything..."
bonus points if done in a Sgt. Schultz voice.

#3  I wonder if the FBI's interviews could be made public?

#2  Any different than DHS/BP shipping illegals to communities near you? You can tell who's side they're not on.
