Its a stunning admission, john, thats right. this is really -- you know, as you can tell, i am shocked by this. this is something that i have certainly never heard the fbi say. certainly it doesnt seem like they have had this kind of situation before. but i also think its important to know that under this new fbi director, christopher wray, we have seen him come out, be somewhat transparent as much as he can, and when there is a screw-up or when he needs to stick up for something, he does it. th...

Mueller does nothing without having some strategy behind it. i know that. i had the pleasure of working with him at fbi headquarters when he was the director. someone who was methodical, strategic. weve seen previous indictments that have come down in some of the legal process. this is a new development. its something that is stunning in the sense were now finally getting information that signals where this investigation is headed. and as you alluded to, you know, up until this point theres been...

Their systems and what likely happened here is that name hit on something that was in a file that, as we saw, just wasnt passed along to the investigators that needed that information, and i think it shows that this is an organization of human beings, even with some of the most advanced training in the world, there is no way to eliminate human error. >> again, i want to read this to you again because the words that the fbi just put out here in and of themselves need to be heard. someone called t...

To think something like this -- you have to wonder if this is in the back of the families minds, that something like this could have been prevented. when you look at that tip from youtube, had the fbi -- it just seems if they say they did internal checks, the name inside the internal database, i want to know why that didnt match up from this tip in january. it just seems -- something is not adding up and thats a question that i have and thats something that im wondering about. you get this tip l...

School. its not clear, john. these come up a lot in these kinds of situations where we hear there were warning signs that were missed, people knew things, neighbors saw things, family saw things, theres all this social media stuff but no one reports it to the police. thats what the sheriff has been saying the last two days. if you see something, say something, no matter what it is. the sheriff keeps saying this was a key issue here, that no one said anything to the police. >> well, something was...

Money. but also security wallis issues that need to be ironed out. they dont have a bill to get to the upper house, let alone through the chamber. when you talk about a fix right now, there is no real answer, no real pathway, and i think a lot of people right now are staring at the courts for what would make anything happen in the future. >> you were talking to aides today. do they have an end game? >> i think when you talk to people on both sides, you can recognize that the prism through which ...

Discovered this tip. it looks like they just maybe went back and did some searching. i am told, though, that the information we have about the second tip we reported on yesterday is not connected to this. i was just told that now. but i dont know what this is related to. we dont have any more, really, specific information other than whats in this statement. >> again, a stunning statement, a stunning admission right now. >> i also think, john, this is a day for the fbi that is not good. as you kn...

How were so many things overlooked and missed? they werent here. you had someone, you know, contact youtube and contact the fbi who had no connection to any of this. last year trying to be a good citizen. that was back in december and then on january 5, a person close to the situation. we always criticize family and friends who dont speak up when they hear something, well, this time someone close to the killer did speak up here. and it still didnt make a difference. >> youre right, and i think t...

Deputy attorney general rod ross enstein will talk about. it could be this is for something totally different. evan, youre with me right now, do you have a sense? >> look, we still dont have an answer as to what exactly it is. were just being told its a law enforcement matter. i can tell you right now a grand jury has returned an indictment against 13 russian nationals and entities apparently related to hacking in the election. so it might be related to that. which is something weve been watchin...

Is going to happen as a result. >> what do you think can be done? assuming that, you know, theres not going to be a wholesale ban on any sort of semiautomatic weapon, what do you think there is -- political will or at least the responsibility of the political will to be done? seem like theres this nexus between people with serious mental illness and their ability to purchase guns, but seems there should be a solution in the overlap, and yet, i dont see any action. >> well, i think thats the ques...
