And look, along the way, Megan, there was a lot of strikeouts.

But this FBI was not taken off target by those strikeouts.

We stayed on mission until we connected with the stores and the service providers and the accounts and the information behind him.

And also, once we figured out that this individual is a likely suspect, we're not going to just leave him be in the neighborhood.

This FBI creatively, successfully and surreptitiously monitored him because we wanted to make sure there was no future casualties.

Because remember, Megan, he made bombs that actually worked.

They just didn't go off.

Thank God.

It's not that he made a device and screwed it up and it was never going to go off.

Thankfully, it didn't go off.

But this individual had the capability and mindset to make bombs that actually worked.

That's correct.

That is the piece of the puzzle we're putting together.

So let me walk you through something that I haven't talked about yet.

When we go hit this individual's house and his place of work, it's not like we're going to hit the house of a criminal suspect for fraud.

or we're going to hit the house of, say, John Bolton.

It's very different.

We know this individual is making bombs.

So we have to send in an entire bomb tech squad team to safeguard the house.

That takes hours and hours.
