cnn law enforcement contributor steve moore is a retired fbi supervisory special agent. is with us now from los angeles. steve, what do you make of this? the potential accomplices versus are there accomplices? where are we at this point? >> well, i think you're going to have to come up with some, some evidence to to show that there were accomplices or you may be spinning your wheels. and this is something you do in every terrorist investigation. uh, at least in the fbi, you have to determine whether anybody else was involved. um, and so if they are involved, we need to see video. we need to see people, uh, materially assisting in the plot, things like that. um, and it's very complicated. then you try to figure out whether this there was assistance from overseas or whether it was self-radicalized and essentially a lone wolf. there are all these all these moving pieces, and you can't while you may have a thought on it, on what is most likely you can't just dig in on one. you have to hit all of them at the same time and hit them all as hard. >> what do you think about this

and will two steves, steve forbes and steve moore came out with flat tax is it possible that it couldg like that will happen. here is the good news, we have 22 of the 50 states have a single rate tax in their state income tax. for 8 of those, my favorite rate, zero, 14 are non, there are 3 that move to single rate taxes within a couple years. we're going to have a majority of the senate, just a few years, majority of u.s. senate will be elected in states that have a single rate tax. and great thing about single rate tax is tough to raise, you have to look everyone in eye and say i am hitting you all, easy to cut. david: we should mention, flat tax and design of it by forbes and a bunch of others over years, that it has zero tax for first, i don't know how you calculate it first 20 thousand maybe or 30 thousand dollars. that first chunk of change. is tax-free, poor folks or bottom of income scale, they would be ex. e exempt from taxed lone us f -- low uncom earners. i would i think that people like bernie sanders would like it he is always talking about sweetheart deals for rich that g
