Split Thread AA77 FBI Investigation [split from: AA77 FDR Data, Explained]

Just too bad you cannot dabate them.

ULTIMA1, can you answer the question please.

Are you saying the the statement "The FBI assumed crime-scene jurisdiction at the Pentagon terrorist attack site Sept. 21 from the Arlington County (Va.) Fire Department, officials said." means that they started their actual investigation on Sept 21 and had done nothing since Sept. 11th when the attacks happened?

I am stating that the FBI assumed jurisdiction and started the crime scene investiagtion on that date. It does not mean they did nothing up untill that point, just that they had other things going on like the rescue and recovery operation.

Rescue and recovery is not the purview of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. That's not to say that some agents didn't assist of their own accord - but as an organization the FBI is charged with the investigation, apprehension, and prosecution of crimes.

Quoted from FineWine's post earlier.

A body recovery team typically consisted of one or more FBI agents, one or two FEMA representatives, a photgrapher, and four body or litter carriers from the Old Guard. For the recovery work the FBI drafted Navy and Marine photographers already on the scene taking pictures of the impact site and pieces of evidence strewn as far away as Arlington Cemetery.

Exceptions were made to the rules on 9/11 because they had to be. A lot of people found themselves doing things they wouldn't normally be doing - because nothing on this scale had ever happened before.
 
Yet another source that states the FBI began the criminal investigation AFTRE RESCUE AND RECOVERY.

The FBI yesterday officially took control of the site where an American Airlines jet crashed into the Pentagon, ending 10 arduous days of search, rescue and recovery efforts and giving way to a lengthy criminal investigation.

I don't think that link necessarily says what you think it does.

Read it again, and pay closer attention to the grammar.

I never said that the FBI was NOT involved in R&R. Rescue and Recovery is NORMALLY not the purview of the FBI. But as I stated, the scale of 9/11 meant they needed every warm body and pair of eyes they could get their hands on.
 
Thanks for proving you cannot debate me with facts and evidence.


I JUST DID !!!!!

So you mean to tell me that the term "assuming jurisdiction" from another entity means that they did no investigating at the scene at all until that happened on that date?

Please show me how you are getting that the term "assuming jurisdiction from another entity" means that no investigation took place prior to that happening. Does the FBI have to assume juridcition in order to start an investigation? Can someone explain please?

Contrary to what you may have been led to believe, placing text in bold really doesn't do all that much to alter the context in which it was written.

Sorry but we have people in here that seem to have a problem with reading comprehension.

No, he's seeing what I'm seeing. You are inferring meaning from that phrase that just isn't conveyed.

It doesn't SPECIFICALLY state what FBI agents were doing prior to assuming actual jurisdiction, only that there were rescue and recovery operations going on.

You can bet that those agents were already engaged in their jobs of collecting evidence from the minute their hit boots hit the ground.

I still don't see where it says that they weren't investigating prior to that date.
