Depending on how long Mateen used Jack'd, FBI already knows he's gay (but haven't told us) OR they didn't correlate his IDs well enough.

But FBI also had him tailed, during a period he was already hanging at Pulse. Again, FBI likely KNOWS he's gay. But isn't telling us.

It's also unclear how closely he was being investigated. Big range from 24/7 live surveillance to records checks.

I'll bet there's an ocean of crazies who come to FBI attention for making similar statements, most harmless.

Agree! But Q is, once you've got PC to get a warrant, you'd expect certain level of attention.

Also email content. Which should say they should have correlated the Jack'd ID unless his OpSec was very good
