One more time: I'd either turn the investigation over to someone (or some dept.) more competent or demand the feds to come in with their unlimited resources and have at it. Moose is clearly in over his head.

Dirk, the eyes of the nation are on Moose. Everyone from the White House to main street USA has observed him, and judged him to be a decent capable individual. Do you think for one minute the feds wouldn't take over this case if they thought he was incompetent? Right now we have the Secret Service, the FBI, the military and other agencies coordinating with Chief Moose. None of them are saying what you seem to be. There isn't the slightest hint at incompetence from any other agency. They are all working and contributing like a finely tuned machine. What more could they do under the circumstances? This idiot shooter is operating in a fifty mile radius. How or what do you propose to make this operation more successful? I'd love to hear it. I think the government would too.
I don't think Moose is operating in a vacuum. He has the FBI and the Secret Service helping not only to provide manpower, but to devise strategy. Where have you obtained the opinion that Moose is in over his head? I think the man needs our support and not the slings of arrows at his back.
