CSPAN2 Representative Schiff On San Bernardino Investigation December 11, 2015

About why we did not discover communications in advance as well as discussion with department of homeland security. And with that visa process in their holes that needed to be plugged to prevent people from using the marriage or Fiance Visa Program to enter with the purpose to carry out an attack. We have additional insights in the investigation is in its early stages and we have a lot to learn how these two came into contact with each other or separately become radicalized. The investigation is literally all over the globe and there is a great deal more to be explored with communications and devices. Dash shooters did use certain Operational Security measures to avoid detection to help and p the investigation after the attack but were working through these challenges. Day you know, if they had any help or if they chose this time to attack . The director has emphasized were not aware of any other components like coconspirators. That is the first and foremost, priority. Theyre not aware of anything along those lines. Why day choose to attack . I think the early indications there was an argument at this site proved to be erroneous. So we dont know why they will choose to attack employment that is very much a missing piece of the puzzle. With the wealth of pipe bombs and the ignition they have it is possible they have other targets in mind. So what them set them off that particular day we dont know. Were hearing that some neighbors may have been worried because of political incorrectness. Do you think they felt they should have come forward . There were a number of questions if we had yet been able to determine if there are things that we missed. There were communications between the two shooters there were indications of radicalization of malik in pakistan or what about involving mr. Farook bid people were more vigilant. There are some indications there are things that may have alerted lawenforcement to an issue with farook. But we dont know yet enough to say these were apparent without the advantage of hindsight because you can look back to say all the sudden that is something mean something different. To say unequivocal that members of the public could have prevented this and there is a focus on the neighbor who had a relationship with a completely different case that had a different level of engagement. Any new evidence . I cannot go into anything that may be part of a criminal case. In terms of evidence of radicalization with social media postings that was part of the discussion today. I dont think there are indications the was the public use of social media and looking into other questions how they communicated to each other in ways that doesnt necessarily mean encryption. There are ways about being seen with an american citizen in beijing and Communications Standards with the foreign nationals talking among themselves. What about links to another group . The director stated publicly in the past there have been contact with people of interest in the bureau. But not to read too much into that. I dont know if there is any indication but i guess i just would concur about those contacts. That isnt something i can go into as the bureau discuss the ongoing investigation. What about the fiancee visa . That did take place but i dont have the details of accounts for back . There is evidence of radicalization that goes back years with farook and the same with malik. So this was something i believe in both cases may have predated the rise of isis. To make she was so authentic more than what anybody had covered. I think she was the first modern first lady with an important project and wrote her book is initiate left the white house. She really invented up modern first lady.
