Levin incensed: ‘Twice, people saw something, said something, and the FBI blew it!’
CR ^ | February 16, 2018 | Phil Shiver

Friday night on his radio program, LevinTV host Mark Levin absolutely eviscerated the FBI after the bureau admitted “protocols were not followed” for responding to detailed tips about Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz.

“Twice, people saw something, said something, and the FBI blew it!” Levin exclaimed.

“This is such a bad screwup … issuing a statement isn’t enough. Speaking as this special agent in charge did isn’t enough.” He added, “We’ve been pummeled for 48 hours by the gun control leftists” only to find out that none of that would have mattered.

Levin went on to explain what the FBI could have done if they had pursued an investigation in January when the tips were received. This included alerting all state and local law enforcement, all gun stores, and area school districts of Cruz’s identity and the situation.

You’ll get worse than an apology - as a taxpayer you’ll help fund the settlement to yourself and 16 other families.

I was in the car and caught Levin's rant. It was surprising that he never got down to the real issue. "The FBI" is not the issue. SOMEBODY -- a particular, identifiable person -- at the FBI didn't do his job. Find that person. Fire him. If supervisors were involved, fire them too. What must be avoided is the big bureaucratic self-protective impulse to circle the wagons, protect the guilty, and talk about an institutional failure that will be addressed by adding another module to agents' on-line annual training drills, while everyone involved gets their routine step increases and COLA's, and continues to sleepwalk to retirement.

The FBI didn't follow its own rules. Enforce the rules and penalize those who didn't measure up.

I’m giving odds that they tossed it around trying to verify that his name “Cruz” was in no way related to Senator Cruz...and after a couple calls...just put it in the “will do it later” file courtesy of the $3.00 help division.

We need to shut down the FBI. Create a new agency called the National Criminalology and Labratory Services and put all the forensic people there...take away law enforcement powers from “special” agents. Get rid of ATF too, while we are at it. Roll their awesome Arson guys into he new NCLS.

FBI has a history of having folks “on the RADAR” and not doing anything preemptive. And the school owns a big part because they opted to ‘protect the guy’s privacy” by not notifying police that he was caught carrying ammo in the school.

In Roman times, the unit commander would decimate (kill/punish) 10% of the cohort/legion for such dereliction of duty:

They should beat, near to death, every FBI employee from the person that took the call, all the way up to Wray, then find the person that shelved/ignored the intel and put him to the sword:

Yes, knowing the FBI has been turning away from information about potential slayers of large groups is a big problem. It has happened over and over and can no longer be seen as inadvertant mistakes of timeing or understanding.

It is time to find out who is delaying the action on the information of a shooter on the loose.

Other than those individuals ignoring the information and enjoying the end result, the only other conclusion one can come to is that they are ignoring the information on purpose to stir up the antigun groups. Is is a purposeful act on the part of the FBI agents involved and all part of Soro’s NWO.

The FBI is a LEFTIST organization.

The FBI can intentionally ignore threats and hope the crazy people follow through and kill a bunch of folks.

The Leftists need excuses/reasons to take away your guns.

What is the main objective of the FBI today?

Could it be to take away your guns?

“””The FBI ‘list’ of ‘dangerous people’ lists middle class, middle aged, white Christians.”””


And the ‘especially dangerous people’ are those of us posting on Free Republic who cut through the BS coming from our corrupt government and their media cheerleaders.

“””The bosses are corrupt, and the agents they hired are their mirror image”””


I fully agree. The corruption and incompetence is very deep throughout local, state, and federal government.

Voters need to start the housecleaning at their city and county level and when that gets cleaned, move to the State level.

We cannot expect Trump, as one person, Drain the Swamp.

Only if they are limited in their activities to fighting The League Of Villainous Evildoers Maniacally United For Frightening Investments in Naughtiness (L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.)

Weren’t the Oklahoma City bombers “on their radar” as well?

I remember reading all the ATF agents were out of the office that day.

It’s sort of a Red Dwarf reference...

That is such an obscure reference ... love it!

" Erm, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is: what are we going to call ourselves? And I think it comes down to a choice between "The League Against Salivating Monsters," or - and this is my personal preference - "The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society."

Yep AND even better we knew we were targeted and didn't care... still pumped out as much truth as we could find.

I posted that either Dan Bongino or David Clarke take over for Wray. They’d both be excellent.
