and light company. and that occurred when he was working with a laundromat. he actually owned it. a small laundromat. and the electricity was turned off. he got so angry he got on the phone, begged them on put on it, they wouldn t, started screaming and then he blurted out. if i load up your office, i m sure you would turn it on real quick. i can make it like worse than 9/11. they hung up on him and of course they called police who came is that investigated. found no indications of bomb making but they charged him with a threat. when it went to court, the judge and the prosecutor saw it for what it was. he was someone who was sick. at that time he clearly no indications of carrying out such activities. it is now 16 years later. his sickness has obviously worsened over the years and they put how many probation and gave him a break. has he sought any counseling?
general under president clinton, michael, and matt miller and an msnbc contributor. thank you to all of you for joining us on a friday night. harry, let me start with you. what do you make of what they ve got on this guy. it took them three days to find him. most people who know about these things were fairly confident they would because bomb making leaves quite a trail. what s your sense of this? well, they ve got a fingerprint, that s big. and there s some suggestion that they already have dna. that s big. but they re going to be getting so much more. they mainly wanted to get him off the street immediately ali. now we have the van, all kinds of social media, friends, search warrants of homes, other people in the rallies. they will be assembling a wealth of evidence over the next several weeks. so i think it s impressive that they so quickly got enough to hold him.
