The FBI received a tip with concerns about suspected Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz but protocols were not followed and it was not investigated.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott is calling on FBI Director Christopher Wray to resign after discovering that the FBI failed to investigate a tip that the Florida school shooter could be plotting an attack. Scott on Friday sharply criticized the federal law enforcement agency, saying in a statement that the "FBI's failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable." The FBI acknowledged it failed to act on a tip to its hotline that Nikolas Cruz had a "desire to kill."
In a statement, Scott said that "an apology will never bring these 17 Floridians back to life or comfort the families who are in pain." U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio also criticized the FBI separately, saying it was "inexcusable" the FBI did not follow protocols. He said that Congress should launch its own investigations into what happened.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is ordering a review of the Justice Department's processes after the FBI failed to investigate a tip that the Florida school shooting suspect could be plotting an attack. Authorities say 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., on Feb. 14, 2018, killing 17 people.
Sessions said Friday the shooting that killed 17 people was a "tragic consequence" of the FBI's failures. He said it's now clear that the nation's premier law enforcement agency missed warning signs. The review will include a look at what went wrong and how the agency and Justice Department respond. Sessions says it may include "possible consultation with family members, mental health officials, school officials, and local law enforcement....

They are too busy diddling one another and colluding with Clinton and company to destroy Trump.
Hire people who love America and want to see the rule of law restored.
It’s high time to get rid of all the dead weight and incompetent back-stabbing louses.
Wray is another lawyer.

I think the local Sheriff should resign along with the local FBI head along with Rick Scott, the principal and the entire Board of Education.
Director FBI reports to Deputy Attorney General. The DNI oversight relates ONLY to FBI counterintelligence activity. DNI can’t fire Director FBI, but DAG can.
That’s a pretty massive catch on your part.
Inquiring minds want to know the answer to that as well.
I think the Board of education in Broward is where Debbie W-S cut her teeth. They collect beau coup $$$$$ from the Florida and the fedgov for mainstreaming crazies in the general classroom. It’s a profitable racket.
Scott Israel-—

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. - Elective office has its perks — just ask Broward Sheriff Scott Israel and his triplets.
A group of campaign donors, Broward Sheriff’s Office employees and various agency hangers-on threw the Israel family a graduation party, complete with the largest pile of king crab you’ve likely ever seen, that netted gifts valued at more than $15,000 for the kids to take home with them, according to Israel’s recently filed campaign disclosure forms with the Florida Ethics Commission.
The largest benefactor for the party was Jamie McDonnell, the flashy and at times erratic multimillionaire businessman who calls himself the “King of Weston.” McDonnell - who rang Israel’s cellphone last year when his then-girlfriend complained to BSO that McDonnell had battered her — ponied up $843 for “catering” and $300 as gifts for the Israel children after their high school graduation. Another $750 in gifts came from his brother, Joseph McDonnell, for a total of nearly $2,000 between them.....
I would fire everyone on the 7th floor. I would hire headhunters and cull the rest of the herd.
That FBI guy tried to minimize FBI involvement and lied to America.
(Clue: he has a reputation for being a self-serving manipulator.)
That’s good stuff.
Both Wray and Sessions should resign, imho.
Faux reporting that today Sessions said “we need to do better”.
Ranks right up there where Sessions said “no agency is perfect”.
Get rid of them all. Sessions, Rosenliar and Wray.
FBI leadership too preoccupied with covering for everything Clinton Obammy.
Too busy trying to hook The Donald
No time to DO THEIR JOB?
Those 50,000 text messages don’t write themselves! It takes a lot of time and effort.
The FBI, Florida Law Enforcement, and the School District are in a perfect position. Since they all are to blame, none of them will be held accountable.
An honorable man would resign. A white-hat, in this case, would summarily dismiss everyone involved, and then resign. Wray is neither.
Another review another press conference.
“Another review another press conference”....
And another Mueller type witch hunt. Buy lots of popcorn, you’re going to need it.
Scott is a grand-standing blabber mouth male version of DWS. But he’s much prettier than Deb.
The FBI is a tainted incompetent bureaucratic mess from top to bottom. I don’t buy this obligatory “the rank and file FBI are hard-working dedicated blah blah BLAH....” It’s not true!!!!
LOTS of heads from top to bottom need to roll. The FBI is an absolute disgrace.
That’s why the Sheriff and is squealing so loudly. He effed up as did the Eff-Bee-Aye. All three entities are culpable. Broward School board is MUM because they voted to NOT- REPORT potential psychos and criminal kids to the sheriff’s office.
Broward Schools began conducting their own little ‘Sanctuary” program to shield their kids and to delay criminal prosecution of their violent and dangerous kids.
They have just paid the heaviest price for that progressive decision by the Broward County School Board.
Dead teachers & dead kids. They have themselves to ultimately blame.
