FBI is closer to drawing a conclusion on motive for Las Vegas shooting
Las Vegas Sun ^ | November 2, 2017 | By Ricardo Torres-Cortez

A month into the investigation of why Stephen Paddock indiscriminately rained gunfire on thousands of concert attendees, killing 58 and injuring hundreds at the Route 91 Harvest festival, investigators maintain that there is “absolutely” no indication the gunman was ideologically driven or affiliated with any international or domestic terror or hate group.

But investigators have made significant strides.

“We do know a lot more (about Paddock) than when we started,” Rouse told the Las Vegas Sun Wednesday afternoon. “I feel like we are going in the correct direction to understand why this happened.”

Asked if investigators have pinpointed a possible motive, Rouse said he believes that, “When we’re done, we’ll have as close to an answer on the why as you’re going to be able to come to without talking with (Paddock).”

But before that conclusion is made and publicly announced, investigators need to ensure that determination comes from evidence and facts and not from speculation or assumption, Rouse said, asking for patience from the public. "It won't be as fast as people would want it to be. This isn't a TV show."

Rouse was assigned to the LV FBI office after being in the crooked CounterIntelligence division in D.C., which whitewashed Hillary’s crimes under the espionage act and destroying evidence, used the phony Steele dossier and spied on Hillary’s opponent Trump during the presidential election.

The CounterIntelligence division needs to be investigated for political corruption by a special counsel and the crooks sent to prison.

Interesting how there haven’t been multiple leaks to the fake news media.

That’s probably because whatever the evidence shows, it doesn’t feed into the leftard’s typical anti “right wing”, anti-gun, and “Islam is a religion of peace” narrative.

A hard drive that was missing from one of Paddock’s laptops found in the room after police entered has still not been recovered.


If the hard drive was found in the room after police entered, and it has not been recovered, then any clue which policeman took it and why?

Anyone ID the Hispanic woman warning people before the show they would be killed? How about the ID of the Hispanic woman taunting the escaping survivors? Who lit and threw the fire crackers right before the shooting started?

Many people reported the Hispanic woman.

Lets be honest.

Why not just change it to FU from FBI?

That’s pretty much become the public perception anyway.

Hey FBI, is Hillary involved in criminal activity? FU

Hey FBI, wasn’t shaking down people for donations to the Clinton Foundation for pay illegal? FU

Hey FBI, wasn’t it illegal to store top secret government documents on Hillary’s private server? FU

I could go on. Why rub my face in it.

The answer is all too often, FU American public.

More likely a missing bootable USB thumb drive that was flushed down the toilet.

The gunman lived 60-something years then opened fire on a crowed. I know very little more than that about him. He had a couple of civil service gigs decades ago. He got into real estate and or gambling. Had a girl friend. Had a brother. That’s about it. I usually learn more than I ever wanted to know about these freaks. aThis guy? Nada.

"There has been so little news coverage of Vegas lately. It has almost completely disappeared from the mainstream news."

Because there's been not much actually new.

Yep. Any day now the FBI will have gotten their “official” story straight, problem eye witnesses “taken care of” and the whole thing goes down the rat hole.

Stephen Paddock’s Center Fuel Tank spontaneously exploded and that’s what happened.

The science is settled.

"Hence the timing of the Weinstein scandal. Known for years, but suddenly made front page so the Las Vegas foolishness would go to the back page."

That's just nutty.

I’m extremely unlikely, next to impossible to believe anything the FBI would say about anything.

They knew from the start...the delay was concocting a plausible fake cause.

" . . . investigators maintain that there is “absolutely” no indication the gunman was ideologically driven or affiliated with any international or domestic terror or hate group."

Isn't that what they said about the DC softball-practice shooter, even though he was clearly politically-motivated?
