THE EVIDENCE MOUNTED AGAINST THE ISIS KILLER OF ORLANDO PATRONS AS THE FBI WAS AND LOOKED TO BE HAMSTRING FROM MAKING ACTIONS FOR POLITICAL REASONS IT WOULD SEEM WITH AS THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES WEIGHTED PAST THE SCALE OF JUSTICE AND THE DEMOCRATS IN POWER LOOKED THE OTHER WAY SINCE THE MUSLIM KILLER AFTER THE FACT GOES AGAINST THE NORM IN THE LEFTIST EYES OF WHAT YOU CAN CALL A HATE CRIME WHEN SPEWS OF JUGGERNAUT OF HATRED COMES FROM THE VILE OF THE MOUTH PIECE

OMAR Mateen moved on and off the FBI’s radar in the years leading up to Sunday’s massacre at an Orlando gay nightclub, and there were unmistakeable warning signs of his growing Islamic radicalism as recently as just weeks before his rampage.

As officials investigate whether others may have been involved in the attack, which left 49 dead and 53 wounded, lawmakers are trying to find out how the 29-year-old slipped through the cracks.
He was on an FBI watch list twice, reported to authorities by a fearful co-worker, raised alarms at Disney World earlier this year and made a Florida gun shop owner nervous enough to alert police.


“The committee is conducting this inquiry to better understand the root causes of homegrown extremism, assess the vulnerabilities of so-called ‘soft’ targets, and oversee the work of federal law-enforcement entities,” read a letter sent Wednesday from Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., to FBI Director James Comey.


Comey has already told lawmakers he reviewed Mateen’s history and found nothing his “agents should have done differently”. Yet as details emerge about Mateen’s radical behaviour, hindsight is revealing numerous warning signs, and the heat on the FBI is increasing.


“The question is whether the FBI had the evidence to take action and did not,” said Ryan Mauro, national security analyst for the Clarion Project and a professor of Homeland Security for Liberty University.


The FBI conducted a 10-month investigation into Mateen first in 2013, prompted by Mateen’s claim he had connections to al-Qaeda and Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
