If FBI brass was trying to bury the alleged investigation into the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay massacre, that task just got much harder.
According to FBI sources with direct knowledge of the FBI probe of the Oct. 1 deadly shooting, federal agents have not seen any surveillance video showing alleged gunman Stephen Paddock loading up his hotel suite with rifles and ammunition.
“No one has seen that on the video we were provided by MGM,” a FBI source said. “Vegas (PD) has looked at the same video. Paddock is on surveillance video but the guns are not. He’s not carrying bags or cases with rifles.”
How did more than 12 assault rifles get into Paddock’s hotel suite then?
FBI sources noted that there could in fact be video proof of Paddock transporting a dozen guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition to his 32nd-floor hotel suite in Mandalay Bay but MGM Resorts International, who owns the hotel, could be hiding the video.
“They (MGM) control the surveillance video,” one FBI source said. “I have never seen that in any other case. We (the FBI) control the physical evidence.”
Paddock supposedly stayed as a guest at Mandalay Bay for several days prior to his alleged role in the rampage which gunned down over 500 people, including 58 who were killed. Yet, FBI sources show no video of him transporting guns to the 32nd floor?
Another mystery in what has become a bizarre national cover-up on many levels of the massacre.
(Freeper note - article closer at source indicates **McCabe** is still in charge of all this investigation)
Of course not he had them in his baggage.
Duh!
Maybe he wore a disguise.
Precisely what I thought.
You have to PARSE the words.
“We didn’t see him carrying GUNS” is a perfect NON-lie.
Yes, the guns were inside BAGS or CASES.
Cops and lawyers play little words games like that ALL THE TIME.
Must have been those dreaded “Ghost” guns liberals are in such a tizzy about.
Did the FBI watch the video(s) with their eyes open?
Yes, he's carrying just bags. Or he's carrying cases. Or bags AND cases. But the guns are not visible.
ALL could be true.
MGM controls the surveillance video??? They could be hiding video???
Did I read that right? In a criminal investigation, doesn’t law enforcement subpoena ALL clues, all surveillance video?
I’m astounded by this statement, that someone in the FBI says that MGM controls the access to the video.
“We didn’t see him carrying GUNS” is a perfect NON-lie.
Yes, the guns were inside BAGS or CASES.
—
“He’s not carrying bags or cases with rifles.” They said in direct refutation of the above observation, ruling out the idea that the guns were in the bags as the FBI said they were not in the quoted statement.
Back to Anon’s theory above - they were placed in the room later by other parties.
Even if they saw him wheeling guns up there in a baggage cart, they could still say that, and it would still be a perfect NON-lie. After all, he wasn’t “carrying” the guns.
That statement is a huge red flag.
WTF do they mean that MGM controls video in the case? That’s so nuts, it INVITES conspiracy theory.
Yet another thread where my reaction must be ....WTF?
The FBI hasn’t taken possession of ALL the tapes? WHY THE EFF NOT?
“Duh!
Maybe he wore a disguise.”
He hid the guns under a burqa.
Who is the watcher that is always standing next to the LV Police chief?
Just when I thought my opinion of the FBI could not get any worse, they dig deep and drive it even lower.
Spontaneous arrival from an upper floor?
A fascinating story. But I have a question about 8/9:
If the magazines weren’t all loaded and so were firing them one at a time as each became ready, how did they “unload” 200 rounds through the door at Campon?
One magazine (50 rounds tops?) would be all that would be at the ready to shoot at Campon as a knocks on the door. And once he sees rounds coming through it as an answer, he ain’t sticking around for the reloads to reach 200!
If there were videos of paddock coming in from time to time, but without the necessary (and found) dozen of bags to contain the guns, there is only one explanation. Well, ok, potentially 2. The main one is, OTHERS BROUGHT THEM IN. So there is thus more to this attack than one strange crazy man.
You’d simply search on the entrance vids for the exact bags in the room coming into the hotel over that week.
The other potential explanation, because I don’t know the setup, is that possibly the Four Seasons has another entrance and Paddock entered that way, and the Saudi owner made sure there were no videos of it.
