re: Tucker says he will be revealing Thomas Crooks online footprint tomorrow.

Yeah, but what is the reasoning behind the FBI not releasing it themselves? Grab a FBI podium, call a presser and go. Even if you have to put up a slideshow? It is their job to say the whole thing needs dismantled and here's why.

The repetitive excuses and complaints of a faulty USSS is getting real old.

CLEAN IT UP. It has been a year. And this leak from Carlson is asinine. Just Stop the games.

I’ll bet it’s one of the least interesting stories of the week once it’s out there.

An analysis by CBS News of Crooks' internet routines shows he developed an increasing interest in news, explosives and ammo, and secrecy. The records include nearly a year of Crooks' activity on his college's wireless internet network. They show hundreds of visits to websites ranging from his academic email account and discussion boards, to his bank, news sites, gaming platforms, social media, weapons blogs and Steelers fan sites.

Virtual private networks, known as VPNs, route a user's web traffic through encrypted tunnels, hiding their activity from prying eyes, such as a college's web tracking security software. While Crooks was using Mullvad, his browsing history was effectively sealed off.
