Mateen was a 'known quantity' to federal law enforcement before he killed 53 people in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
Omar Mateen of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, came to the attention of federal authorities twice prior to being identified as the gunman in the Orlando nightclub mass shooting, a senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast.
[Snip]
The senior law enforcement source reports that Mateen became a person of interest in 2013 and again in 2014. The Federal Bureau of Investigation at one point opened an investigation on Mateen but subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.
"He's a known quantity," the source said. "He's been on the radar before."
The gunman is said by the source to have been born in New York and to have been married for a time to a woman from New Jersey. His father, Seddique Mateen, appears to reside in Florida, but is said to be presently running for office in Afghanistan.

... a 'known quantity' to federal law enforcement ...
Yeah right, known like numerous muslim militia camps across America.
Hopefully these gays/guys/whatever will step up:

What sayeth The Donald?
Hope he gets raped by his reward of 72 gay virgins for eternity.
It’s alarming to me that CAIR is involved in the investigation and presser from the start. Even if it’s 3am on Sunday. Same with San Bernardino - they were on the podium right away
It shows a great level of preplanning with the government - and expectations such muslim atrocities are likely y. You don’t stand next to the head of FBI investigations unless the order comes right from the top. CAIR is now part of the dept of Justice
ENOUGH investigating!!! get them the #### out!!!
or shoot them in the head. I dont care. Whatever’s cheapest.
MSM already doing the guns/hate crime angle.
Could have been any Right Wing Christian.
But it wasn’t.
If we lose this election, it’s over folks.
Hopefully this will at least sway some gays to vote for Trump.
What a nightmare.
Best he point out that no.amount of rainbow floodlights on the Whitehouse will protect them and that they should vote for him. Excellent chance of gaining the gay vote.
Yes it is beyond infuriating
I am completely shocked that Clown prince nobama had not appointed him to head the DHS. We have a criminal government replete with criminals at all levels.
Well dad just won his election. Not sarcasm.
Weren’t the Boston bombers a know quantity, too? They knew these people were in the country
Father says it has nothing to do with religion.
What does the koran say about homosexuality again?
CNN former CIA counterterrorism expert sees no evidence of terrorism here. I kidmiss you not. Traitors everywhere.
It’s ALREADY being treated as an act of terrorism and he said that.
How about immediately ARRESTING all of the other “Known Quantities” on this list, like today?
As soon as the police brought out a muslin cleric, during the briefing, I new it was an Islamic terrorist killing.
Bingo! It is amazing and scary the scope and how quick the propaganda squad is in control. The liberal government needs a through sweep of all departments because this is just flat dangerous.
I’m glad CAIR is assuring us that the situation is “completely under control”.
Also warning media “not to sensationalize the story”.
STFU CAIR
ESAD CAIR
MOSLUMS OUT CAIR
