Some one is going to pay for this blunder.

Let's hope so. 30 police reports about violent outbursts over the past few years, public threats to shoot up schools, people concerned enough to contact the FBI. How this nut slipped under the radar I don't understand.

And they spent how many millions of dollars and man hours tracking down 13 Russian internet trolls? There is something really backasswards about that.

Maybe if the FBI leadership spent less time trying to overturn elections and more time doing their job we would have less of these terrible incidents.

How does Mueller's probe impact on the rest of the FBI for doing their jobs?

Good try to blame the Russian probe on 17 dead kids. Shame on you.

Pressure is mounting on the FBI director to resign after his agency admitted it failed to investigate a warning that the man accused of killing 17 people at a Florida high school possessed a gun and the desire to kill.
Quote:
Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement that a person described as someone close to accused gunman Nikolas Cruz, 19, called an FBI tip line on Jan. 5, weeks before the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, to report concerns about him.

"The caller provided information about Cruz's gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behaviour, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting," it said.

That information should have been forwarded to the FBI's Miami field office for further investigation, but "we have determined that these protocols were not followed", it said.

I think you meant "blame the death of 17 people on the Russia probe."

...At least I hope that's what you meant.

Well I was talking about the Steele dossier, not the Mueller probe but the impact comes from the failure of the FBI leadership to not spend enough time and effort making sure that nuts like this don't slip through the cracks.

It was 15 kids and 2 adults Dowly, so shame on you for exaggerating their deaths just to improve your internet forum argument, but good try.
