The FBI received a tip last month that the suspect in the Florida school shooting had a "desire to kill" and access to guns and could be plotting an attack, but agents failed to investigate, the agency said Friday. Florida Gov. Rick Scott called for the FBI's director to resign because of the missteps.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the shooting that killed 17 people Wednesday was a "tragic consequence" of the FBI's failure and ordered a review of the Justice Department's processes. He said it's now clear that the nation's premier law enforcement agency missed warning signs.

In more evidence that there had been signs of trouble with the suspect, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a Friday news conference that his office had received more than 20 calls about Nikolas Cruz in the past few years.

A person close to Cruz called the FBI's tip line on Jan. 5 and provided information about Cruz's weapons and his erratic behavior, including his disturbing social media posts. The caller was concerned that Cruz could attack a school.

In a statement, the agency acknowledged that the tip should have been shared with the FBI's Miami office and investigated, but it was not. The startling admission came as the agency was already facing criticism for its treatment of a tip about a YouTube comment posted last year. The comment posted by a "Nikolas Cruz" said, "Im going to be a professional school shooter."

The FBI investigated the remark but did not determine who made it.

The 19-year-old Cruz has been charged with killing 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, north of Miami.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said the agency, which received an average of 2,101 calls to the tip line each day in 2017, was still reviewing its missteps on the January tip. He said he was "committed to getting to the bottom of what happened," as well as assessing the way the FBI responds to information from the public.

The FBI leadership has no time to do their job. Too busy CYA on fake phony TRUMP dossier.

Takes a lot of agents to do a coverup. The children will have to wait. And die.

You hit the nail on the head here.

And let's not forget about the "other" ray ray. Chris Wray was appointed by OBAMA.

I think we should look into this Chris Wray guy.

wray was never in obama admin...bush then private practice..then trump.

he says that you can call him ray.

My bad. You are correct. He worked under COMEY.

" democracy dies in darkness "

"Our analysis of special counsel probes in the modern era, starting in 1979,¹ puts Mueller’s investigation in select company for producing criminal charges at all — a majority of the investigations over the past four decades ended without charges being filed against anyone.

The total number of individuals charged in the investigation is now up to 18,²including an indictment and two guilty pleas from last fall. One of the defendants from last fall, Rick Gates, is reportedly finalizing a plea deal, which would signal that he’s ready to cooperate with the investigation.

Historically, major special counsel investigations that have led to charges have lasted for years, with indictments and guilty pleas trickling out as an inquiry gains momentum. So more charges seem likely to come." -FiveThirtyEight this morning.

Great job so far Mueller!

it is like a slow squeezing of a vice...he keeps working up the ladder and still holding back .....he hasnt indicted manafort with everything he knows..he is always working for the plea agreement with cooperation......he did that with flynn....he held back many charges and didnt indict the flynn son.
it is like a painting by a master.
yesterday trump was getting peppered with questions by reporters and like an automaton kept walking with a smile pasted on his face saying thank you and alternatively raisng his thumb in the air......surreal....like the ghost of richard nixon.
lets hope congress renews calls for the sanctions tobe imposed...he has refused to do anything....lets see how he wriggles out of it now.....what his excuse will be....maybe he will say russia deserves due process.
