FBI politicization is such a major factor, we often overlook the fact that the FBI is frequently bad at its job, considering the resources that it commands. This is not new. The FBI leadership has always been far more concerned with its image than fighting crime. When any organization fails perform effectively at the tasks assigned to it, the organization will turn its attention to new tasks it creates.
I think of the transgender major arrested for giving health info to FBI agents he thought were Russian. Taking my government “insider threat” training this year, I was struck by how many of the examples were people caught giving secrets to FBI agents posing as foreign intelligence. When was the last time the FBI caught someone giving information to an actual foreign government?
I’m not sure I’d credit Greg Price’s account. Could it really be that police did not arrive for a full half hour after the incident with the security guard? Sounds like a factoid.
The State of Nevada, Clark County, and the City of Las Vegas have police forces. They certainly have the manpower to shed light on the event in question. The utility of federal law enforcement (not just the FBI specifically) is to provide access to data trails that might be instructive, esoteric technical skills the state police lack, and some extra manpower.
The odd thing about the Las Vegas shooting is that a memo seems to have gone out from somewhere to let the event pass with minimal comment. The news media and law enforcement both complied. Why?
