Brooklyn Subway Attack Suspect Previously Known to FBI and Cleared: Source
Newsweek ^ | April 12th, 2022 | Naveed Jamali and Tom O'Connor

Posted on 04/13/2022 6:25:33 AM PDT by shadowlands1960

A federal law enforcement source told Newsweek that a suspect in Tuesday morning's Brooklyn subway attack was previously known to the FBI and was entered into the Guardian lead system in New Mexico, though he was cleared after multiple interviews in 2019.

The NYPD has officially released the name and picture of a 62-year-old man named Frank R. James, identifying him as a person of interest and seeking information regarding his whereabouts from the public. It was unclear, however, if James was suspected of being the perpetrator.

The subway attack that injured multiple people in the New York City borough of Brooklyn Tuesday morning was initially considered an act of terrorism, an NYPD official told Newsweek shortly after the bloody incident. But the federal law enforcement source said the attack could not be classified as terrorism until a motivation is established.

At a press briefing hours after the attack, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said the attack was "not being investigated as an act of terrorism at this time." Asked if she would rule that out, she said law enforcement was "not ruling out anything" as officials continued to pursue the suspect and determine his motives.

So Newsweek has a “source” who anonymously tells them something the rest of us knew yesterday. Typical mainstream media super secret skulduggery.

Called it yesterday. Any and all info was having to go thru the FBI before being released. The dead giveaway.

He is not a white male so it cannot be terrorism...in the eyes of the corrupt FBI.

10 people shot
at least 13 people injured

and all cameras were OFF.

==> were both the shooter and the camera controller
on the DOJ/Crown/FIB/CCP/DNC payroll?

The FBI is worse than useless.

It should be disbanded entirely and the leadership banned from any office of public trust for the rest of their lives.

This man is far from home and obviously has to eat regularly. He probably can be found poorly disguised trying to get a meal at some place where he hopes he won’t be noticed.

He was probably “cleared” because he hadn’t done anything except talk smack? I wonder what length you have to go to making threats before they ‘lower the boom’ and how much race plays in that call?

“Attack Suspect Previously Known to FBI and Cleared.”
___________________________

Save the precise wording on this headline, as it will continue to be used for most terrorist attacks to come.

FIB is too busy investigating PTA meetings and garage pulls.

“White people and black people should have no contact with each”

Excellent idea. The best way to remain safe is to avoid blacks as much as possible.
