“have a major news conference and not ID the driver suspect.”
This has been SOP for awhile. FBI wants dibs on the guys social media posting. They don’t want everyone flooding to his page when the name is released.
They won’t release the name until his stuff is wiped from the net.
Um, regarding the vehicle driver, this was a local issue, the FBI had no reason to be involved.
But could the feds be telling the locals to hold off on ID’ing the driver, so they can scrub the Internet of anything he posted? You bet!
