#1 Additional "Red Flags" sent to the FBI by local law enforcement.

Not to mention Mateen's two trips to the Majic Kingdom for the Haj.

#2 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."

Absolutely incredulous !

#3 "I don’t see anything in reviewing our work that our agents should have done differently

Really? Because a hundred dead or wounded doesn't seem to be an optimal outcome.

Perhaps the FBI would be more successful at this game if they were allowed to say the I*S*L*A*M word.

#4 Hey Mr. Comey - you lost another needle....

MATEEN WIFE MISSING: Loretta Lynch Admits That Federal Authorities Have Lost The Orlando Shooter’s Wife - Noor Salman

The DOJ and FBI look like fools. If she resurfaces in Raqqa making propaganda videos - will y'all edit those too?

#5 Amazing when heads are lopped, people actually pay attention. Who was fired at the FBI or CIA for 9/11? Rhet question

#6 With the vast array of intelligence systems, massive data bases, advanced link analysis tools, and analytical minds available at the FBI, NSA, and CIA, I simply cannot believe Mateen, the Tsarnaev bros, the 'underwear bomber' Abdulmutallab, Nidal Hasan, or the 9/11 bombers were simply intelligence 'gaps' or tragic oversights.

Sorry, something else is taking place here.

#7 The government is more worried about keeping the "Radical Right" and its own people in line than keeping track of terrorists.

In fact, terrorists can help scare the public to staying in line and giving up more rights.

#8 The FBI is an establishment security service so of course they are more interested in threats to their ability to rent-seek than in the safety of US citizens.
