At the press conference in Florida this morning, the FBI agent said they did not find any information that led to the real identity of the person who made the threat.
That’s a lot of mumbo jumbo for we did not bother to write a search warrant for the website that he posted the threat on.
It would have taken just under an hour to write a search warrant for YouTube to give up the Internet service provider number and any other identifying information for the person who posted the threat.
And depending on which website was hosting the blog that he put the post on, it may have only required a subpoena not even a search warrant.
Unless some new information comes out that they identified him and interviewed him then the FBI really dropped the ball.
Another question is did the FBI think it was too low risk of a threat for them to deal with and did they then contact the local authorities who could have followed up on it?
Somebody should have done the little bit of extra work it would have taken to identify the person who posted the threat.
Which law enforcement agency who last had the information handed to them has some explaining to do.
The FBI is really bad at lying because the shooter used his actual name in the original YouTube comment/threat. I mean what more do they need? His address and phone number? The "I" in FBI is supposed to be for "investigation". "Incompetent" seems to fit better.
the guy who notified the fbi included Cruz’s name because Cruz posted it. See the article.
It’s hard to believe that with a name that they couldn’t narrow this down.
