The past few months have been a PR nightmare for the FBI. Just weeks after the release of the FISA memo exposed segments of the FBI as being unacceptably partisan and biased, we’re now learning that the FBI ignored not one but TWO separate tips about Nikolas Cruz – the individual who would later go on to kill 17 students and teachers at Douglas High School in Parkland, FL.
The first tip came in the form of a comment on a YouTube video where Cruz posted a comment saying that he was going to be a “professional school shooter”. However, at the time, the FBI claims they were unable to find who had posted the comment. The second tip came from an individual that was concerned about Cruz’s behavior and reported him to the FBI. They described to FBI officials how Cruz fit the profile of a school shooter, however, the FBI did not follow up on this lead.
When Trump first took office, he warned about major problems within the intelligence community. Now, it seems as if this warning is proving to be true. Had FBI officials done their job, 17 innocent students and teachers might have still been alive today.
