| FBI missed chances to stop domestic terror attacks because of lack of follow-up |
| 2020-03-05 |
Welcome to September 10th, 2001. [WASHINGTONTIMES] The FBI missed opportunities to stop domestic snuffies from killing Americans because field offices failed to further investigate individuals who had been labeled homegrown violent Death Eaters, the Justice Department watchdog said in a scathing report released Wednesday.At least six snuffies who later carried out attacks killing a total of 70 people were on the FBI’s radar prior to the attacks. However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... |

| #16 Another term I've heard is "Malicious Compliance." I'm thinking about starting to use "Dismanagement." |

| #13 Insiders learned quickly that making SSA, ASAC, Legate or plumb WFO assignments were much more likely if that pesky taint of Islamaphobia never got on you. Interesting that the Obama/ValJar era attitudes permeated so quickly into the Bureau. Almost like hardline old school agents got pushed out of the 7th floor and all the field offices. Maybe it sent a clear message about career suicide. |

| #12 Incompetence or malice? I'm voting on the latter. |

| #10 Perhaps the 'world-class investigative agency' is, in fact, dumb enough to have - unknowingly - made 17 serious FISA errors? Nah. I think Besoeker has it right. |

| #8 Wasn't an FBI agent following the Garland shooter on his drive there? They didn't miss that one; they just didn't care. |

| #7 Radio Boston (and others) make some rather compelling arguments. Meanwhile, the Deep State circles everyone attempting to blow smoke up our collective arses. |

| #6 concluding the suspects were not threats to national security IOW, no graft for the deep state and/or uni-party was foreseen to be at risk. |

| #5 The Bureau backs off these SOB's because the Klingon's are using them, or hope to use them. When the sources 'go bad' and people turn up dead (see MAJ Nadal Hasan), everyone in LE and the IC enters the media denial public relations tent. Move along please, nothing to be seen here. |

#4  Anyone remember, a day or two following the bombing the FBI SAC office in Boston ran a teevee advert asking if anyone knew the identities of these two lads (Tsarnaev bros). Boston Marathon bombing took place on 15 April 2013. Follows is an excerpt from an interesting transcript from Radio Boston at this link. In March 2011, the FBI, through the Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force, opened an investigation into Tsarnaev. As part of the investigation, a CBP officer put him in the TECS system, one of the government’s terror watch lists. In October 2011, after receiving another warning from Russia, the CIA placed Tsarnaev in a different terror database, known as TIDE. |

| #3 Both Muller and Comey refused to mention Islamics in the FBI white page terror pages. To please Bin Obama of course. Seems to me that would be a blatant example of treason. Akin to refusing investigations of Nazis in WWII. |

| #1 Inspector General Michael Horowitz said the FBI’s counterterrorism program division managers failed to conduct consistent oversight of its homegrown violent Death Eater assessments, allowing potential snuffies to fall through the cracks. No "failure" involved. The evidence is compelling (to everyone but the IG), field agents were instructed to avoid muslim investigations. |
