FBI Statement on the Shooting in Parkland, Florida

On January 5, 2018, a person close to Nikolas Cruz contacted the FBI’s Public Access Line (PAL) tipline to report concerns about him. The caller provided information about Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.

Under established protocols, the information provided by the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life. The information then should have been forwarded to the FBI Miami Field Office, where appropriate investigative steps would have been taken.

We have determined that these protocols were not followed for the information received by the PAL on January 5. The information was not provided to the Miami Field Office, and no further investigation was conducted at that time.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said:

“We are still investigating the facts. I am committed to getting to the bottom of what happened in this particular matter, as well as reviewing our processes for responding to information that we receive from the public. It’s up to all Americans to be vigilant, and when members of the public contact us with concerns, we must act properly and quickly.

“We have spoken with victims and families, and deeply regret the additional pain this causes all those affected by this horrific tragedy. All of the men and women of the FBI are dedicated to keeping the American people safe, and are relentlessly committed to improving all that we do and how we do it.”

Replying to @Ammo_Bundy and 3 others

FBI knew about the San Bernardino shooters, Boston bombers and Nikolas Cruz, and do nothing. But when they know a dossier is fake (paid for by Hillary) they have an all out investigation.

FBI should completely shut down: Judicial Watch's Chris Farrell

Published February 16, 2018

FBI needs to be shut down: Chris Farrell

Judicial Watch Director of Investigations Chris Farrell is calling for the complete abolishment of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) beginning with the resignation of its director, Christopher Wray, after failing to protect American citizens.

The law enforcement agency has come under scrutiny for becoming too politicized in the probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and the Russian dossier that may have helped authorities obtain FISA warrants to conduct surveillance on Trump campaign officials.

“I would go back 200 years to the U.S. Marshal Service. I would create a new division for investigation and in about 6-8 months, I would shut the FBI down,” Farrell said during an interview on FOX Business “Lou Dobbs Tonight.”

The Judicial Watch director said agents would be allowed to laterally apply to a new investigative unit and agents would be allowed to apply to a new investigative arm of the U.S. Marshal Service. The FBI would cease to exist.

“There’s a systemic institutional problem. We can walk back to the Tsarnaev brothers where they missed the leads, multiple leads on them. You can go back to Whitey Bulger for that matter. You can go back to existing corruption in El Paso, Texas,” Farrell said.

In April 2013, Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, set off two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. The horrific explosion killed three people and injured more than 260.

James Joseph "Whitey" Bulger, the infamous Massachusetts mob boss, was arrested in 2011 after 15 years being hunted by the FBI.

“Here’s the problem. If nothing changes, nothing changes,” Farrell said. “There’s gotta be a radical, very penetrating severe examination and you have to turn over some furniture here.”

T Hawk, It's becoming clear as day that the swamp is wide and deep.

Trump is only one man. He has been relentless in trying to fulfill his campaign promises and get the country back on track. But the job may be too big for any mortal man. Where does he start when it's becoming apparent that the whole damned agency is corrupted and ineffective? That's 35,000 people who are going to mutiny should he try to make sweeping changes.

Where have all our other politicians been while these agencies deteriorated to this point?

I will go down supporting Trump. He seems to be fighting all of Washington and it's vast agencies, pretty much all by himself.

The rank and file agents will cheer if and when Trump ousts all the upper management. The agents do not like the people running the agency and what they are doing. It makes them all look really bad. The agents go out and try to do their jobs but are stymied by the manangement.

[FONT=&quot][h=1]Russian hacking: FBI failed to tell US officials their email was targeted[/h]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Nearly 80 AP interviews find only two cases in which FBI advised policymakers that Fancy Bear cyber-spy group was trying to hack their accounts

[superbeets]

The FBI failed to notify scores of US officials that Russian hackers were trying to break into their personal Gmail accounts despite having evidence for at least a year, an investigation found.



The Associated Press dedicated two months and a small team of reporters to go through a hit list of targets of Fancy Bear, a Russian government-aligned cyberespionage group, that was provided by the cybersecurity firm Secureworks. Previous investigations based on the list had shown how Fancy Bear worked in close alignment with the Kremlin’s interests to steal tens of thousands of emails from the Democratic party.


The hacking campaign disrupted the 2016 US election and cast a shadow over the presidency of Donald Trump, whom US intelligence agencies say the hackers were trying to help. The Russian government has denied interfering in the American election. The special counsel Robert Mueller is leading an investigation into alleged collusion between Trump aides and Russia. Indictments have been made.

Nearly 80 interviews with Americans targeted by Fancy Bear turned up only two cases in which the FBI provided a heads-up. Even senior policymakers discovered they were targets only when the AP told them.

“It’s utterly confounding,” said Philip Reiner, a former senior director at the National Security Council, who was notified by the AP that he was targeted in 2015. “You’ve got to tell your people. You’ve got to protect your people.”

The FBI declined to answer most questions from the AP about how it had responded to the spying campaign. The bureau provided a statement that said in part: “The FBI routinely notifies individuals and organizations of potential threat information.”

Three people familiar with the matter – including a current and a former government official – said the FBI had known for more than a year the details of Fancy Bear’s attempts to break into Gmail inboxes. A senior FBI official, not authorized to publicly discuss the operation, declined to comment on timing but said the bureau was overwhelmed by the sheer number of attempted hacks.

“It’s a matter of triaging to the best of our ability the volume of the targets who are out there,” he said.

The AP identified more than 500 US-based people or groups and reached out to more than 190, interviewing nearly 80. Many were long retired but about a quarter were still in government or held security clearances at the time they were targeted.

Only two told the AP they learned of the hacking attempts on their personal Gmail accounts from the FBI. A few more were contacted by the FBI after their emails were published in the torrent of leaks that coursed through the 2016 election. To this day, some leak victims have not heard from the bureau at all.


Questions over the FBI’s handling of Fancy Bear date to March 2016, when agents arrived unannounced at Hillary Clinton’s headquarters in Brooklyn to warn her campaign about a surge of rogue, password-stealing emails.

The agents offered little more than generic security tips the campaign had already put into practice and refused to say who they t
thought was behind the attempted intrusions, according to a person who was there and spoke on condition of anonymity because the conversation was meant to be confidential.


Questions emerged again after it was revealed that the FBI never took custody of the Democratic National Committee’s computer server after it was penetrated by Fancy Bear in April 2016. The former FBI director James Comey testified this year that the FBI worked off a copy of the server, which he described as an “appropriate substitute”.
Some of those contacted by the AP brushed off the idea that they were taken in by a foreign power’s intelligence service. “I don’t open anything I don’t recognize,” said Joseph Barnard, who headed the personnel recovery branch of the air force’s air combat command.


That may well be true of Barnard; Secureworks’ data suggests he never clicked the malicious link sent to him in June 2015. But it isn’t true of everyone. An AP analysis suggests that out of 312 US military and government figures targeted by Fancy Bear, 131 clicked links sent to them. That could mean that as many as two in five came perilously close to handing over their passwords.


A former US ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, who like many others was repeatedly targeted by Fancy Bear but has yet to receive any warning from the FBI, said the lackluster response risked something worse than last year’s parade of leaks.


“Our government needs to be taking greater responsibility to defend its citizens in both the physical and cyber worlds, now, before a cyberattack produces an even more catastrophic outcome than we have already experienced,” McFaul said.


Charles Sowell, who worked as a senior administrator in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and was targeted by Fancy Bear two years ago, said there was no reason the FBI couldn’t do the same work the AP had done.



“It’s absolutely not OK for them to use an excuse that there’s too much data,” Sowell said. “Would that hold water if there were a serial killer investigation, and people were calling in tips left and right, and they were holding up their hands and saying: ‘It’s too much’? That’s ridiculous.”

Yep. We just saw it graphically with 17 dead as a result of their incompetence.

And to those of you who say that the problem is at the top. Yes it is. But incompetence appears to have filtered right through the ranks. Was it the top who was responsible for not identifying the Tsarveav brothers when their pictures were splashed across each and every media outlet, even though they had interviewed them twice in the past couple of years for being terrorist suspects? Was it the top who didn't act on two whistleblowers with incredibly leading info re cruz? 35,000 people and they can't get these things even near right. Disband the whole damned agency. We are paying a shitload of people to accomplish nothing. Pathetic.

Dozens assaulted by Larry Nassar while FBI knew about allegations



DETROIT – At least 40 girls and women said they were molested by a Michigan sports doctor over a 14-month period while the FBI at the same time was aware that Larry Nassar had been accused of molesting gymnasts, a newspaper reported Saturday.

The FBI became aware of Nassar in July 2015 when it was contacted by USA Gymnastics, which trains athletes for the Olympics. But he wasn’t publicly exposed until The Indianapolis Star published allegations by a victim in 2016, The New York Times reported.

In the meantime, Nassar continued to see young female athletes, especially gymnasts, or dancers while working at Michigan State University. USA Gymnastics, where he was a team doctor, cut ties with him in 2015.


Nassar, 54, has been sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for sexual assault. He’ll get another sentence Monday in Eaton County, Michigan. Both cases were filed by the Michigan attorney general under state law. Nassar admitted penetrating females with ungloved hands when they visited him for various injuries. The number of victims who have come forward exceeds 250, going back decades.



Federal authorities in Michigan ultimately charged Nassar with child pornography after police found thousands of images in his trash. That led to a separate 60-year prison sentence.


The Times said the FBI declined to answer detailed questions about how it handled assault allegations forwarded by Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics. In a brief statement, the FBI told the newspaper that the allegations “transcended jurisdictions,” apparently a reference to Texas, Michigan and other places where Nassar was suspected of molesting people.


Asked why families and coaches weren’t alerted, W. Jay Abbott, who led the FBI office in Indianapolis, said: “That’s where things can get tricky.”


“There is a duty to warn those who might be harmed in the future,” said Abbott, who retired in January. “But everyone is still trying to ascertain whether a crime has been committed.”
He said “everybody has rights here,” including Nassar.

I will go down supporting Trump. He seems to be fighting all of Washington and it's vast agencies, pretty much all by himself.

Back in 81 Reagan fired 11,345 air traffic controllers.
I'm not suggesting Trump fire all 35,000 agents but the
top echelon clearly need to go. That would be a big step
toward draining the swamp and would also show he means
business.
