The FBI's Work in Mass Shootings Is Not Pretty
By Esther Queen

Over the past twenty years, the FBI has been tasked with finding out more about how to prevent mass shootings.  The definition of "mass shooting" includes incidents where three or more people are killed, per federal statute definition.

Former FBI director James Comey was in charge of finding what — and who — led up to some renowned, rather horrific mass shootings, which included Sandy Hook (2012), San Bernardino (2015), and Las Vegas (2017).  Comey was dismissed after four years by President Trump.

The shooting at Sandy Hook has been widely used as a prime example of the damage that most outlets and politicians tout as "gun violence."  A November 2013 report issued by the Connecticut State Attorney's Office concluded that David Lanza acted alone and planned his actions but provided no indication why he did so, or why he targeted the school.  A report issued by the Office of the Child Advocate in November 2014 said that Lanza had Asperger's syndrome and as a teenager had depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder but concluded that these conditions had "neither caused nor led to his murderous acts."

The FBI curiously made no headway into that, either.  The FBI's gaping investigation holes include 1) a failure to investigate the ties to the treating psychiatrist of Adam Lanza and 2) the internal corruption of the Newtown Police Department with Operation Juice Box.  In a nutshell, Operation Juice Box involved selling long guns and drugs, from China, directly from the Newtown police station in Connecticut.

What?  Operation Juice Box?  Why have I never heard of this?
So I did some searching.
It turns out that

Is a completely different activity that,
purely by coincidence, has the same name as
Operation Juice Box in 2015.

The local newspaper in Greenwich Connecticut reports:

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
    Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and
    Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),
    working with the support of the US Marshals Service
    and the US Postal Inspection Service,
    arrested eight people as part of an investigation
    dubbed “Operation Juice Box” on April 29 and 30.

    The following individuals were arrested on a federal complaint
    charging them with conspiracy to distribute, and distribution of,
    various controlled substances including steroids and oxycodone:
    Steven Santucci, 38, of Waterbury, and a Sergeant with the Newtown Police Department;
    Alex Kenyhercz, 28, of Ansonia;
    Mark Bertanza, 33, of Shelton;
    Jason Chickos, 46, of Bridgeport, and a civilian dispatcher with the Newtown Police Department;
    Frank Pecora, 53, of Derby;
    Jeffrey Gentile, 33, of Ansonia, and a Judicial Marshal with the State of Connecticut;
    Steven Fernandes, 54, of Southington; and
    Michael D Mase, 32, of Sherman.

    Santucci has been receiving shipments of steroids and related materials from China since 2011
    and has been manufacturing and distributing wholesale quantities of steroids.

The quotation in the original posting contains an error.
Guns were not being sold at the Newtown Police Sergeant.
Instead, four guns were seized when the feds raided the drug selling operation.

I'm just a mite curious how many of these front page incidents have had an FBI agent, CI, or UC at the helm somewhere. They don't have to be the leader of the organization to influence it in a seriously wrong direction, either.
