    Of course. It's a very vital investigation. The FBI is nearing revolt.

    If you read the article, you'll see they're flooded with tips:

    The answer is in part a reflection of American vigilance in the era of “see something, say something.” Tens of thousands of counterterrorism tips flow to the F.B.I. each year. Some are legitimate. Others come from vengeful ex-spouses or people casting suspicion on Arab-Americans.

    Thousands of investigations are opened and closed. Right now, law enforcement officials say, the F.B.I. is investigating 1,000 potential “homegrown violent extremists,” the majority of whom are most likely tied to or inspired by the Islamic State. Fifty to 100 are considered the highest priority.

    The flood of leads is so relentless that, years ago, counterterrorism agents hung an 18-inch section of fire hose outside their office suite in Northern Virginia as a symbol of their mission.

    Them double-naught spy types in high office at State speak in code, you know. You gotta have codeword clearance at the NSA to find out what is really meant by her ordering a "Flaming Burrito" ...

    I don't understand why they're wasting so much time investigating something the current administration doesn't believe is a threat, if it even exists at all.

    I was more interested in the general ignorance of the statement than the politics behind it.

    What is the quote. I can't get by the Forbes ad block police. Hill has had a rich history of blogging and tweeting. She once blogged about oral sex on the Sentenial web site.

    And we're supposed to believe that flying three planes into buildings was a million to one shot.
