Serious question:
How can the fbi know this is NOT terror related in 2 hours yet investigated trump-Russia for months and NEVER cleared/caught him???

The FBI knows everything. They just can't tell us everything. They know all about Trump's contacts with Russia, but Trump must be a member of the Freemasons or Illuminati, so that knowing doesn't mean they can do anything about it. They just keep reminding the people that Trump is not squeeky clean, by continuing to raise the Russian flag over him, and in this way they manage to get some control over Trump, with the continual threat to reveal all if he doesn't play ball.

The F & F scheme used straw buyers. Hmmmm

I'd say it looks like the DOJ didn't learn a thing from the Fast & Furious scandal. For those of you who don't know, F&F was an extremely ill-conceived plan to sell a bunch of weapons to Mexican drug cartels, and then track them to see where they go. Of course, the ATF immediately lost track of the guns, and the cartels laughed their asses off as they used their new stockpile of weapons to start the drug war that continues to this day. Eric Holder spent the rest of his time in office stonewalling congressional investigations. Again, this is all confirmed fact, not theory. It was such a comically stupid plan, I'm still not convinced that they ever intended to track the weapons. Perhaps it was just an illegal arms sale disguised as a sting operation.

Regardless of intent, the fact that the US government knowingly armed drug cartels raises a ton of disturbing questions.

Agreed. I also believe that ATF, FBI, CIA and many other govern agencies are a major part of the swamp. These agencies are dug in hard, politics can change but the powerful leadership doesn’t care and are running their own power trip.

How to explain a thing that cannot be explained?

My first thought was the girlfriend left the guy, and he freaked out. She was actually some sort of casino VIP hostess, so no surprise about her taking his money. Further info tells me that his age, and the good deal of money he had, it goes against the freak out about the GF theory.

Now, it seems like a gun deal gone bad....way over the top.

Was it pre-planned by a old white guy who became "radicalized"? I really didn't think so until I saw the Sheriff's press conference and now I consider it a possibility.

Speaking of radicalized, does anyone have an opinion on him supposedly being at an anti-trump rally in a pussyhat?

That really freaked me out.

AJ says he was Antifa-inspired. That's the same as ISIS, right? Malaysia, Las Vegas, same deal.

He clearly said, "Did this person get radicalized unbeknownst to us?"

What part of that don't you understand?

Did you miss the "unbeknownst to us" part.

Well **OF COURSE** it was "unbeknownst" at the time wasn't it.

If anybody "knew" ahead of time, the event may have never happened.

What a goofy argument you're making. That is clearly not what he means. He is saying that they don't know (present tense) whether he was radicalized or not.

I'm pretty sure you know damned well that's true.
