Shades of san bernadino open and shut case

JRoberts said...

Did the FBI also leave out any "Presidential classified documents" for her to capture on camera? She's not wearing any nitrile gloves while she's walking through the crime scene? When did IKEA and Target deliver the props in preparation for her walk through? Sheesh!

gilbar said...

are any of our regular trolls still here?
gadfly? rich? mark? inga? i'd LOVE to hear your comments

Mr. D said...

The FBI and CIA could save a lot of money if they subcontracted this work to residential real estate agents. Someone tell DOGE.

Mary Beth said...

Why would a NY Post reporter who covers immigration issues be granted "exclusive access"? Just because she's conveniently located in TX?

narciso said...

Who else bothered to go there

narciso said...

They went to subways they'll be back

A bit of repair and cleanup and it's ready to list on Airtnt.

How can people say the mainstream media is dying when their real paymasters make it so easy to entertain us! Are you not entertained?

RideSpaceMountain said...

Sometimes it's shame there's no upvote function on this blog.

Lazarus said...

It does look too neatly arranged and staged. With government and the media lately it's not a question of whether or not there's fraud and deception, but of how big the fraud is -- how deep, how wide and how high it goes.

Aggie said...

Who from the law enforcement community is empowered to bestow exclusive access, one wonders? Especially as it concerns the private property of the deceased, prior to probate, when no Crime Scene tape is in evidence? The mind boggles at the informalities observed in this story. It would appear that those formalities may be overlooked, maybe even over-ridden, when the meat is at its most-absolute, steaming freshness.

Ann Althouse said...

Was there any silverware?

Political Junkie said...

I wonder if any of them were paid by the KH campaign for their postings pre-election?

William said...

I have a feeling that the backstory to this story is more interesting than the story. There might be a semi-legit explanation. Maybe the FBI agent in charge is her father or whatever. She should, however, do a follow up story explaining how she gained such access.

Wince said...

I wonder if Melania's underwear drawer was as lovingly preserved?

boatbuilder said...

"...disarray..." The only time my workshop ever looked even close to that neat was a month ago, when I had packed everything for the movers to take to my new home (where the workshop is already looking somewhat chaotic).

mezzrow said...

See how stupid they think we are? Can you feel the contempt?
This is like a movie within a movie on a daytime soap. Does this have a pharmaceutical ad in the original, by any chance?

I am more suspicious of the claim by the government that he acted alone. While it is perfectly plausible that he did act alone, I don't see how the investigators can know this so swiftly.

Chest Rockwell said...

NBC is reporting that the compound used in the undetonated explosives are the first time they've been used in the US or Europe. Going to be more to this story for sure. Or because it's NBC, maybe not.

Lazarus said...

Maybe there's a Dark Web site on where to rent vehicles for truck bombings and things like that: Jihadis 'Я Us. That could help bridge the gap between "lone wolves" and conspiracies.

There was some controversy years ago about the "lone wolf" concept. If you follow ISIS online and pledge allegiance to it, but act alone, are you still a lone wolf? Probably. How much contact do you have to have with a foreign terrorist organization to stop being a "lone wolf"?

Jupiter said...

It was nice of the FBI to bust the door in for her, and then leave the place completely untouched. You would think they would have wanted to search the place. But maybe they already knew what was there.

Steve said...

PJ, only useful idiots get paid.

Steve said...

My first thought.

Yancey Ward said...

I can't help but wonder if the FBI was watching this guy the entire time- perhaps even interacting with him in their standard undercover operative way- and things got out of hand.

Mark said...

I think you are incredibly gullible and have lost your marbles.

Tom T. said...

Someone's going to have to tell me what a terrorist's house is supposed to look like, so I can understand the basis for the skepticism. What am I supposed to not believe? That this guy was not the killer? That this is not his house? That his house was staged to falsely show ... what, exactly?

Rabel said...

You don't find it odd that a reporter is roaming through the incompletely searched house of MASS MURDERER with Islamic terror connections?

Just a guess because I can see only the first page of the seized item receipt, but everything on it is related to explosives. That means that they didn't search for evidence of associates or accomplices.

Because they didn't want to find any?

Earnest Prole said...

I’m not following the conspiratorial train of thought here. I’ve been reliably
told the feds don’t believe domestic Islamic terrorists exist, only deplorably white right-wing insurrectionary militias, and now you’re accusing the FBI of staging the home of . . . a domestic Islamic terrorist? Explain it to me like I’m five.

gilbar said...

thanx Mark

Ampersand said...

The adjective that was repeatedly used to describe this guy's house was "squalid". The house looked cluttered. No signs of "squalor".

Christy said...

Anyone notice evidence of fingerprint dust? All the murder mysteries I've read assure me that authorities do not clean up their fingerprint powder. But I don't know what it looks like. Is it grey? That would disappear into a counter top making it look marbled, wouldn't it?
The Koran looked pristine, though. Would fingerprinting that be racist and so, ignored?

I recall one news team bragging about getting to his home before law enforcement. Was this the team and did producers negotiate a first look at the inside? Inquiring minds are curious.

Leland said...

I think you explained it best yourself. See here, the domicile of the domesticated terrorist where he lived alone.

tommyesq said...

My understanding is that the NY Post actually identified and got to the house before the FBI - maybe they cut a deal to hold off on reporting and entering in return for exclusive first access.

tommyesq said...

She was not the most professional-looking journalist, particularly given that she knew she was going to be on-camera.

jaydub said...

The camel toe was a nice touch though.

Saint Croix said...

It looks like the house of a sane person.
