LV shootings: FBI official says motive may take until next October to release
2017-12-23
[FOX] Want to finally know why Stephen Paddock gunned down 58 people in Las Vegas in early October?

Be prepared to wait a while – possibly until next October – the chief of the FBI’s Las Vegas office revealed this week during an interview in which he said the agency probably wouldn't brief the public until their report is released sometime before the tragedy’s first anniversary.

“Now that’s a long time for some people, but speaking for the FBI, that’s light speed, all right?” Special Agent in Charge Aaron Rouse told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday.

Rouse said reports from other agencies investigating the mass shooting will be released at different times, but the FBI’s one is “focusing a large part on the why” which is “what everybody wants to know.”

#11  It will take that long to destroy & conceal evidence, warn off any &/or evacuate collaborators & beneficiaries & create a likely cover story. Might as well defer the report of the investigation for a century or two.

#9  Typical AUSA tactic to "seal" any pending indictments to "protect" and investigation...also used by AUSAs and DA's to mute "problematic" known motives of killers. Likely the latter.

#7  Something tells me other threads lead to places they don’t want revealed, and the only thing that happens about a year from now that might matter is Nov 4th?

#6  Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Joe Lombardo has said in the past that Paddock’s mounting gambling losses may have played a role.

Which would have made him an ideal target for nefarious recruitment.

#5  Since Paddock's dead is the long delay because they are still pursuing associated criminal cases? Sounds like.

#4  They're busy manufacturing evidence doing research and following leads. Then there's the matter of you can only destroy so much stuff at one time.

#3  It may take a year to establish motive? What a bunch of Clouseaus. Maybe this should be rolled into some of the Congressional investigations. After all, Trump did say in a recent speech; "We have a lot of sick institutions."
