Florida Governor Rick Scott: Christopher Wray Must Resign Over FBI's Catastrophic Failure

Silly rabbit -- there's no accountability in the federal government or in the "elite" managerial class.

The FBI's failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable. The FBI has admitted that they were contacted last month by a person who called to inform them of Cruz's 'desire to kill people,' and 'the potential of him conducting a school shooting.'

Seventeen innocent people are dead and acknowledging a mistake isn't going to cut it. An apology will never bring these 17 Floridians back to life or comfort the families who are in pain. The families will spend a lifetime wondering how this could happen, and an apology will never give them the answers they desperately need.

We constantly promote 'see something, say something,' and a courageous person did just that to the FBI. And the FBI failed to act. 'See something, say something' is an incredibly important tool and people must have confidence in the follow through from law enforcement. The FBI Director needs to resign.

Oh, and here's a good question:

More on this slaughter that was permitted to happen due to bureaucratic incompetence:

The FBI released the details in a statement conceding their employees did not follow protocol to follow up on this tip. "Under established protocols, the information provided by the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life," the statement said. "The information then should have been forwarded to the FBI Miami Field Office, where appropriate investigative steps would have been taken."

The tip was not forwarded to Miami, and "no further investigation" was conducted into Cruz.

Oh, and here's more: This is bad. The FBI claimed they didn't have any justification to seek the IP address of the Nikolas Cruz who wrote "I intend to be a professional school shooter," because... there were two other people calling themselves Nikolas Cruz?

By the way, remember how I said the fake conservatives are going to start seeking out and finding new ways to agree with liberals, now that they might have to seek alternate avenues of employment? And how I said that would start with gun control?

It begins.

Be on the lookout for a shift in the stated reasons for why NeverTrumpers are Better Than You. It had been, "Because we're the most super-conservativey hrrdcore super-cons."

It will now begin morphing into "Because we're nuanced thinkers willing to set aside ideological dogmas to find real solutions."

Either way, though: They're Better Than You. The reasons may change, but the conclusion remains as fixed as the North Star.
