The FBI received a tip with concerns about suspected Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz but protocols were not followed and it was not investigated.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott is calling on FBI Director Christopher Wray to resign after discovering that the FBI failed to investigate a tip that the Florida school shooter could be plotting an attack. Scott on Friday sharply criticized the federal law enforcement agency, saying in a statement that the "FBI's failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable." The FBI acknowledged it failed to act on a tip to its hotline that Nikolas Cruz had a "desire to kill."
In a statement, Scott said that "an apology will never bring these 17 Floridians back to life or comfort the families who are in pain." U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio also criticized the FBI separately, saying it was "inexcusable" the FBI did not follow protocols. He said that Congress should launch its own investigations into what happened.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is ordering a review of the Justice Department's processes after the FBI failed to investigate a tip that the Florida school shooting suspect could be plotting an attack. Authorities say 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., on Feb. 14, 2018, killing 17 people.
Sessions said Friday the shooting that killed 17 people was a "tragic consequence" of the FBI's failures. He said it's now clear that the nation's premier law enforcement agency missed warning signs. The review will include a look at what went wrong and how the agency and Justice Department respond. Sessions says it may include "possible consultation with family members, mental health officials, school officials, and local law enforcement....

FBI needs new leadership.
Sessions has awakened from his coma?
We heard the same mantra from the USFS, DNR and BLM during briefing on the Jolly Mtn. and Norse Creek fires, here, in Washington State.
These people are feckless to the nth degree.
Now we know why the Molar indictments today...the FBI was about to get POUNCED because of the shootings.
Naw. The coup members are still in place.
Governor Scott sounds dead serious; Sessions, not so much.
“Sessions says it may include “possible consultation with family members, mental health officials, school officials, and local law enforcement....”
((((Yawn)))))
What would he have done if he didn’t have access to social media, take out an ad in the newspaper?
FBI leadership too preoccupied with covering for everything Clinton Obammy.
Too busy trying to hook The Donald
No time to DO THEIR JOB?
“Since the 1920s, the FBI has been supervised by the Department of Justice and the FBI Director has answered to the Attorney General. The Director briefed the President on any issues that arose from within the FBI until the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 was enacted following the September 11 attacks. Since then, the Director reports to the Director of National Intelligence, who in turn reports to the President.”
So Wray doesn’t work for Sessions, he works for the DNI, who at present, is Dan Coats. My question then is, why do we not hear anything from Coats? And what actions can/has Coats taken with respect to the mismanagement of the FBI?
FBI is too busy investigating Russians who post on the internet.
The FBI is going to say they need “more funding”.
Failure to take severe action on a massive scale against the apparatchik is a betrayal of the American people and a cowardly abdication of the responsibility to punish ALL conspirators, they will not stop and if they survive will make sure they succeed the next time, which will be very soon.
US OR THEM
Time for Trump to choose.
This coup attempt by the FBI, the FISA Court, and the DOJ gives Trump COMPLETE JUSTIFICATION to get rid of THOUSANDS that are connected to this PLOT, including politicians from BOTH parties, judges, enemedia, and Federal apparatchiks.
This is not a time to get mellow.
This is a time for ACTION.
Anything short of a complete PURGE is a BETRAYAL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I dont think we should be asking now who is going to clean up the FBI but rather who is going to save it?
Why no backlash after the Orlando shooting? Oh, right, 0bamalamadingdong’s regime.
Cruz could have stood outside FBI headquarters waving a threatening sign and been ignored.
Everyone in Washington knows framing Trump is priority number one.
At least we haven’t seen some bogus FBI entrapped “sleeper cell” comprised of white dummies or Jamaicans brought up on charges since President Trump took office, unlike the during the KENYAN FAGGOT’s administration.
Obama has totally CORRUPTED the FBI.
The ball is in Trumps court.
FBI too busy with extramarital affairs, aiding and abetting Mueller and the Democrat party. Clean house fire Mueller, Rosenstein,Comey, Sessions,etc etc etc. Clean out DC.
This is a time for ACTION.
Anything short of a complete PURGE is a BETRAYAL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

That’s what I’m feeling.
It’s very frustrating seeing 99% of the media (including Fox News) acting out an anti-Trump agenda, joined by 100% of the elected Democrats, most of the elected Republicans AND our so-called “law enforcement” agencies and “Supreme” court.
And what’s MORE frustrating is that the few GOOD people seem to be sitting back letting them do it when they have the power to do something about it. But the frigging F.B.I. hasn’t even gotten rid of Strzok and Page!
Who is Wray and his origin and didn’t PDJT appoint him? I assumed he would be was a white hat tasked with cleaning house.
Sessions reminds me of the sheriff Link Applebaum character from “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”.
