Lynch Shifts Blame: Gun Shop Owner Didn't Give Us Enough To ID Orlando Terrorist [VIDEO]
2016-06-20
[Daily Caller] During a Sunday morning interview on CNN's "State of the Union," United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch shifted part of the blame for Omar Mateen's deadly terror attack to the gun shop owner who refused to sell the terrorist a weapon.

Lynch told guest host Dana Bash that the shop owner had alerted the FBI to a suspicious person, whom he realized after the terror attack had been Omar Mateen, and that his actions were "exactly what that gun shop owner should have done."

#11  if the gun shop had told the FBI he was a muslim, the FBI would have arrested the shop owner, and subjected him to prosecution for hate crimes and anything else they could think up. FIFY

#9  if the gun shop had told the FBI he was a muslim, the FBI wouldn't have done anything because doing so would have been Islamophobic

if the Gun Shop owner didn't say he was muslim, there would be no reason to look at a gay night

#8  #4 Dammit, now I really am wondering if the shooter was allowed to 'slip thru' in order to push gun control...

ell, there was "Fast ant and Furious". Congress voted for contempt of Congress for Eric Holder. The tin foil realm? Anything is possible with this regime.

#7  Ignore and deflect blame. Pretty much all these wank wastes do besides skim as much money off the treasury as possible.

#6  As I may have mentioned earlier,
IT'S DIVERSIONARY REPORTING.
Small localized horrific incidents to dilute the focus of the national collective.

200 Gays in Orlando: Oh, it's not me.
300 Runners in Boston: Oh, it's not me.
30 Bikers in Waco: Oh, it's not me.
3M reenact the Neolithic Revolution: Oh, well it could have been me but that's in Europe, the poor sods. Que Pasa, Hombre?

#5  Dammit, now I really am wondering if the shooter was allowed to 'slip thru' in order to push gun control... facilitate follow-up monitoring and exploitation...

Do I need to get sized for a tinfoil hat now?

Two tinfoil hats please. Make mine a 7.125 or adjustable band.

#3  FBI missed a double-agent tip on the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.

In 1941, Popov was dispatched to the United States by the Abwehr to establish a new German network. He was given ample funds and an intelligence questionnaire. Of the three typewritten pages of the questionnaire, one entire page was devoted to highly detailed questions about US defences at Pearl Harbor on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. He made contact with the FBI and explained what he had been asked to do. During a televised interview, Duško Popov related having informed the FBI on 12 August 1941, of the impending attack on Pearl Harbor. For whatever reason, either the FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover did not report this fact to his superiors, or they, for reasons of their own, took no action in regard to this apparent German interest in Pearl Harbor.

Wikipedia But I also saw it someplace over the weekend - in the newspaper, perhaps?
