Early reports said the shooter had told all his friends, and presumably wife, about the attack. She said something similar and then vanished.

I suspect they waited as long as possible to arrest her for several reasons. The family of a terrorist become celebrities and get lots of contacts from admirers. Also, it appears she was more involved in material support than thought at first.

Wonder why she felt the need to be all the way across the country?
Didn't she somewhat "disappear into the mist" when the FBI lost track of her?

Interesting. The headline indicates they arrested the wife of Omar Mateen . . .not his widow. Likely just an error - however, when discussing the deceptions involved in islamic terrorism, I don't take anything for granted.

Muslim mass murderer and ISIS follower, who also regularly trolled for gay sex

Yeah, sure - his “wife” had no idea what was going on.

Has she been in Californicator land, since her husband slaughtered so many gays?

Or did she get sent/extradited back by the Saudis or some other Opecker princes, because Trump will be sworn in as POTUS this week

Why haven’t they arrested the wife of Speedbump, the older brother Boston bomber?

FBI didn’t lose track of her. They were hiding her and/or letting her hide herself. Very suspicious that Obama is gone in a few days.

So the plot thickens

We were at a Red Cross meeting at their regional office in Orlando. A cute, vivacious Palestinian girl who turned out to be a mouthpiece for CAIR did a sort of presentation for us, trying to put a positive spin and a "happy face" on Islam, telling us how tolerant and accepting the overwhelming majority of them are of all cultures religions, sexualities, and how they celebrate diversity, too and blah blah blah. In other words, it was the old "attract more flies with honey than vinegar" routine.

NINE-ELEVEN. - ALL I want to know about ISLAM, I learned on
9/11/2001. - Common sense causes me to have zero respect
for “ISLAM”.

I think with a few days to go B.O. no longer has the power to protect her.

And Ft. Hood, Chattanooga, Santa Barbara, Boston Marathon, Orlando, etc. are refresher courses.

...

Does this mean the Muslim shooter wasn’t acting alone as they always like to say within five minutes of the attack?

Perhaps this is Comey’s revenge on Muslim Obama and Muslim-funded Hillary? The Rats are taking off after him for their big losses...4 days to go in the Islamic Administration and Comey goes and nabs one of their own.

Take that! It also points out what the Democrats always want to hide: The murderous terror is ALWAYS Islam...meaning it is always the Democrat Party. Comey’s Revenge.
