And if it happened just once, okay, it's a typo, I mean it was handwritten, but you know, a mistake.

Second time, maybe third time I said we have dialect features here of a of a black person, most likely male.

And I was the first one, and I I know I talked to Jim Clementi about this, and I was the first one to say, Jim, I think we got a black guy.

Let's go up to the task force and tell them.

We were very careful in how we worded the profile uh that was to go out to the public, and we we very purposefully said historically speaking, snipers are white males acting on their own.

However, and here's the caveat, we don't know if this person exactly fits that um you know uh that that historical uh uh matching in this particular case.

And years later I'd be hearing be oh the FBI had it wrong.

They said I was a white guy in the beginning.

We technically didn't, but that's y you have to be careful when you put these profiles together.

I was giving a tour of the FBI account, just a real quick aside that day to some journalists and their partners.

And we walk out in the CNN when they used to do news back then.

They were covering the story as we're walking out the lobby.

And the journalist said, you know, Fitz, what's going on here?

What's happening?

I said, I don't know.
