intelligence. what is the fbi doing to trace the money, if you will, where this couple zeed money to buy these guns, these explosive devices? there was cash in their bank accounts. to the extnt they can figure out their bank accounts, they are trying to trace that. the other problem is anybody that s bought a smart phone from the major providers comes with encryption that even the company can t break if they have a court order. so after 9/11, the message was because of lack of intelligence sharing we couldn t connect the dots. now we have the intelligence sharings, but the dots are invisible. we don t know if they were engaged in encryption with others that way yet. we don t know, but the fact they destroyed these devises tells us something. the lack of communications here, it s not unique, but we should
it seems they move stuff so rarely, it shouldn t be that much of a mark against mccarthy. mccarthy is sort of like the same character as cantor, right? he has focused almost predominantly on this branding and how they can win seats in political battles. and very rarely do you associate a big piece of legislative or ideology with him. and he has had some pretty epic fails when it comes to counting votes. the establishment and party might say, we don t want to risk one of these other candidates, let s go with the safe bet, maybe we can relitigate in a year s time or so, but he has very similar problems to eric cantor. looking a head to the way the republicans shift as a group, obviously a decision about who s going to be in leadership. i think the idea that this is going to be immigration reform and him having the wrong position on immigration reform, to the extnt that he had one, i think it s belied by the numbers. if that gets sold as the
