The FBI apparently were alerted about his activities 3 times at least. They did alert local authorities either.

Who later killed 50 American after having been monitored for his terrorist group leaning sympathies, I'd probably downplay his motivation through them as much as possible too.

Your organization dropped the ball. Own it.

This was about a hatefilled, homophobic psychopath who was making it up as he went along.

honestly, I don't believe that any of these killers who murder a bunch of random people are really doing it for religion or politics or whatever, they are just murderous losers who want to kill a bunch of people, because they are murderous losers.

Comey is a George W. Bush appointee, a registered Republican who contributed to the McCain and Romney campaigns.

In a famous incident, he rushed to John Ashcroft’s bedside at George Washington U. Hospital to stiffen Ashcroft’s resistance to White House pressure to authorize certain provisions of the new NSA program.

why do they keep appointing republican aholes like this guy and Freeh all the time?
