doj look at what went wrong is enough. do you still want this fbi independent investigation? if they find culpability of what went wrong and what needs to happen? the reason that i ask the fbi to step in and do a full investigation is because you need a thorough and comprehensive investigation about what happened with the law enforcement breakdown. how is it that it took an hour to go rescue those kids? and bear in mind, you know, what you started to see, for example, is the state law enforcement really put the blame on the local scene commander and police and school police and so forth. bear in mind, there is every level of law enforcement there. there are local law enforcements, state law enforcement, and finally, federal law enforcement. everybody waited too long. they have to figure out why and how that happened.
