FBI Believed Orlando Shooter Wouldn’t Go Postal

The FBI’s 2013 investigation of Orlando, Florida, club shooter Omar Mateen found that he was not thought to be a terrorist – nor was he believed to be capable of “going postal,” according to new documents released on Monday by Judicial Watch.

WND reported shortly after Mateen, 29, reportedly launched a mass shooting at a club in Orlando that left more than four dozen dead and at least as many wounded that he had been investigated by the FBI. He was killed in the attack.

Judicial Watch on Monday released documents that it obtained through a Freedom of Information Act process that included comments from the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office quoting an FBI investigator.

These results followed complaints that Mateen, working for the private G4S security company as a guard in county facilities, had been commenting to sheriff’s deputies about terrorism and violence.

A sheriff’s officer wrote, “FBI concluded a several month long thorough investigation of one of our G4S employees, Omar Mateem, (sic) who works at the courthouse. Last night, I spoke with FBI SAC Rand Glass who informed me they believe this individual has been making comments about his capabilities via his alleged middle eastern terrorist contacts as a form of tit for tat – who is the biggest and baddest rhetoric. Reportedly, Mateem told FBI he did this because a deputy who no longer works at the courthouse kept calling him a ‘towel head.’ Mateem denied saying some things the FBI knows he did say. If he were smart he should not lie to them about any portion of the investigation (federal offense). They plan to speak to him again regarding the discrepancy.
