Kash Patel

As I said, the investigation is ongoing.

So it's not just whether or not he had contact with the FBI.

Did he have contact with the state authorities?

Did he have contact with the local authorities?

Did he have any contact in the juvenile system?

Those are all questions we're answering now because we have to send out those leads to our partners after the individual is identified and say, hey, what do you guys have on him?

because we're not done with the investigation.

And then we go back to our U.S.

attorney partners and DOJ and say, hey, we need some more search warrants, and I'm just making this up in the state of wherever, because he lived there for a period of time.

Those are things we don't know the definitive answers to just yet, but those are the things we're developing.

So there's multiple lines of effort as we call it, right, going on at this time.

Not only are we looking for credit card information as to his transaction history, we're also looking at his social media accounts, email accounts to see what he put out on the internet and who, if he communicated with anyone.

While we're doing that simultaneously, we're also looking at it's been publicized about the uniqueness of the sneakers.

OK, well, who bought this type of sneaker?

And as it's been disclosed in the affidavit, which we can now talk about, this individual bought pipes and caps, wires, bomb making material.

So those are all pretty good and significant investigative leads.

in terms of individually but when you combine them with the multiple lines of effort the universe of people goes from this down to here and that's what we have to do there was of course like any investigation like this which is a massive manhunt multiple suspects that we have to eliminate along the way because most people or everyone else that didn't do this is innocent

And so we have to work through that process methodically before we just go out and arrest people.

And those sort of come in together when we, you know, if you imagine concentric circles, oh, he bought end caps.

Okay.
