CNN Panel Slam FBI for Rushing to Conclude Boulder Attack Is Terrorism: Makes Them ‘Look So Juvenile’
EXCERPT:
KAYYEM: “It‘s not good for the potentially targeted community. It makes law enforcement look disorganized, and it makes the FBI look so juvenile. Like, why are you getting ahead of the police chief who says, 'I don‘t know what this is?' It sounds — maybe it is what we all think it is, but maybe it‘s not. And he has no incentive to get it wrong. So we‘re going to take a step back, not be responsive to tweets by two heads of the FBI who don‘t have a long history in local law enforcement, and we will wait and hope it isn‘t what we all worry it is. And if it is, then there‘ll be an investigation. But that was — that‘s like nothing I‘d ever seen before. You normally — actually, Andrew knows this. You normally get the local people getting way ahead on motive and the FBI saying, 'We don‘t have it yet.' You now have the opposite here. And until we know that the victims were members of that — of the Jewish event, we don‘t have the nexus. And I will believe the Denver police chief that they do not have that nexus now. And if they do, I will be the first one out here saying that that is a hate crime. But until we do, we all need to to not follow the FBI‘s tweets."
