FBI knew full well about the shooter in the Parkland, Florida school massacre . . . and did nothing. TWICE.

Click here: The FBI was informed in September that a YouTube user using the shooter’s real name stated, “Im going to be a professional school shooter.” The FBI didn’t bother following up until after the massacre.
