this is a very different situation, tom fuentes. looks like they could potentially be concerned there may still be someone inside the suv with the windows blown up. >> i don't think so the way they are standing around next to it. >> why wouldn't they go into the vehicle -- >> it might be booby trapped and they don't have that expertise. i wouldn't be surprised if they back the police vehicles away and detonate the car. that's what happened in dallas about a year ago when they had that car trapped that the individual that had opened fire in downtown dallas and they may just do that and not bother to risk the safety of their bomb tech personnel to go into the car and detonate it. >> the downside is you blow up any evidence -- >> but they are worried about safety first. >> safety first is the most important. alberto moya, you're there, tell the viewers what you're seeing because these are exclusive images we're seeing live pictures coming in from the our cnn camera. >> reporter: hi, wolf. we've been here for several minutes now and it

and tom fuentes, back with us again. t's interesting, why, when the probation office notify headquarters that he simply had failed to show. especially given the timing of the hearing. >> well, i think that's a great question. and you know, they may have been just become come pl complacent , figuring for the last two years while he had been on probation, he had checked in or kept in touch. they may have felt, you know, it's just no big deal, he'll turn up pretty soon. and maybe were very lax in doing it. and i think they'll be investigating that aspect of it and try to figure out what happened. >> you know, it's interesting, because he got off, basically, given probation after killing four people, because of this affluenza defense. now his mom is basically driving him away, again, from his responsibilities, so he doesn't have to face potential jail time. this case has clearly sparked so much outrage in the community. could the lack of action really have added fuel to the fire. you know, is law enforcement -- are they a lit

let's talk about joey jackson and tom fuentes. i want to start with you, because last hour, you talked about how the christmas holiday can bring more tension to situations like this to domestic situations. how honor is what was said and conveyed in the 911 call to this situation in general? >> well, it's very important, you know, when a call comes in like that, you have this call coming from the father. as you heard in the piece the mother had talked to the son a couple of days ago on christmas and tried to tell him to control his temper and now the father is unable to, and the father is being threatened by lagrier with a baseball bat and calls the police. so the police go knowing that this is a difficult situation and upon arrival, if he charges them with a baseball bat, that pretty well confirms what they had said and if the father can't calm him down and the mother can't calm him down, there is really not much the police are going to be able to do verbally with a mentally ill person who is already charged up and threatening peop

again, i think it was more than workplace violence. >> tom fuentes, farook's father says his son wasigious, but he is stunned by what has happened. does it surprise you that apparently no one knew what was going on inside that house? that it was a bomb factory, if you will. they were building a dozen bombs there. neighbors may not have known anything. family members, relatives didn't know anything. no one reported anything to law enforcement. >> just because he says it doesn't make it true. you know, he could be lying. he could be in denial. he could be, you know, any number of things about not knowing whether his son was religious or not religious or over the top extremist. so i don't put a lot of faith in what family members say immediately after an event like this. >> or friends or close friends -- >> yeah, all of that. >> normally in a situation like this neighbors come, oh, he's a nice guy, never any trouble. very quiet. very nice. you hear that kind of stuff. usually all the time, right, evan? >> exactly. and one of the things that a trend that the fbi's been looking at develop

we have here onset ron hosgow, cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes and art roderick, former assistant director of the u.s. marshals office. this fire alarm that was pulled, what can you tell us about that? is that abnormal and unusual situation? >> it is unusual because we're talking about how this seemingly was planned pretty well. they came in, did a hit and got away. when you talk about active shooter protocols and some of the training and we had an earlier witness talk about how started going through active shooter training is one of the protocols is shelter in place, get behind a locked door and secure yourself into the facility until law enforcement comes around. when somebody pulls that fire alarm, that changes the protocol scenario. and has everybody evacuate out of the building, which unfortunately gives the shooters quite a few more targets to shoot at. >> terrifying. tom, what strikes you about this? i mean, i think there's so many obviously we see too many of these mass shootings all the time in this country. and they're all horrifying in their own way, but this one is so

tom fuentes. when we look at that threat in munich where we have officials closing two train stations, it is a very busy time. what kind of information would they have gotten that would have prompted them to do that? >> i think in this case, p brianna, it has to happen tonight, name names who is going to do it and maybe they went out to look for individuals, maybe find them and believe they might be out in the street on the process of carrying out an attack. that's major concern. one of the biggest difference is why this year is so much different is that we've had al qaeda issue over the years, okay, followers do an attack and isis over the last couple years do an attack. wherever you are not world, go ahead and attack. what is different now is that isis has a couple thousand zombies all over the world that when they get these things they go out. who would have expected san bernardino. who would expect rodchester new york. you might expect times square or washington d.c. could be anywhere and coul

. >>> and now, more on this subject, joining us is the former fbi analyst tom fuentes who was also a police officer before he joined the fbi. in chicago, do you believe this is going to be calming things down? >>, now don't believe so. there is still going to be a concern in the community of how people conduct themselves, and much of what the mayor said was contradictory as to the decision-making, and he said, i can't give you all of the answers, and then he fired the police superintendent, so that might be prematurely. >> and people have lost confidence in him? >> well, he has for sure. and whether it is the people or other issues, but it is a classic case a that the superintendent is being held, but not all of this is his fault. the fact that it took 400 days for the state's attorney office to bring criminal charges against the officer, and we don't know the decision-making for holding the video for the 400 days, also, and the mayor says, i did not want to look at the video, and taint the investigation, but they went to settle with the family which is saying, well, the officer was

i'm joined by cnn law enforcement analyst and fbi assistant director tom fuentes. i had, tom. >> hi, fredericka. >> what kind of information would be retrieved likely from the items from the lake, especially if there's a hard drive there after this amount of time, more than a week now, possibly in the water? >> well, certainly the hard drive is the most important piece of evidence that they know they need and don't have so far. and if it was in the water for a week, the technicians at the fbi laboratory in quantico would be able to take that and literally just dry it out and hopefully when it's dry enough, the electronic components would go back to functioning and they'd be able to recover the information off the disks or platters which are what the hard drive is made out of. normally, that's short of time in the water is not going to be enough time to deteriorate it compared to being in salt water for two years, like in the ocean. there's a good chance to recover the data if they didn't smash the hard drive, but merely threw it in the water. a lake like that, unfor

tom fuentes, a new abc news/wg poll shows only 22% of americans say they're confident the governmentan prevent what's called a lone wolf terrorist attack. 77% are less confident. the president said that is now a great threat to the u.s., individuals motivated, inspired online, if you will. he said he's talking to technology companies out there. this is a huge problem. >> i'm surprised the number's that high, 22%. a lone individual doesn't tell anybody, doesn't share it, doesn't have a wife and they exchange jihad pillow talk. if no one else knows it. purchases a firearm or other equipment legally. there's no chance of stopping that. if that person goes operational. zero. >> when you heard what the president's remarked, a balanced tone, be diligent, make sure you see what's going on, but go about and get ready for the holidays, we're watching, we're doing the best we can. peter, what did you think? >> well, you know, polling data indicates americans are more concerned about terrorism today than they have been at any time since 9/11. that has an impact on the economy. people don't trav

so i think it's obviously a bad intention to buy that many phones. >> tom fuentes, michael, thank youiate you discussing this with us. that is it for me. i'm going to be back here at 5:00 eastern. i'll see you from "the situation room." from our international viewers, amanpour is next. for our viewers in north america, nz room with brook bold win starts right now. >>> brianna keilar thank you so much my friend. great to be with all of you on this friday. listen, we are just four days away, four days from cnn hosting the final republican presidential debate of this year. and now there will be not just one, but two candidates up on that stage in las vegas who are threatening to reso the from the gop. ben carson has just opened up the option that he will run as an independent. it is a card as you well know that donald trump has been playing. carson's threat, though, comes after this "washington post" report this morning on republican party leaders talking about the possibility of a brokered convention when the republican national convention happens next summer. you know, check the histor

tom fuentes joins me now. this was a fairly nonspecific threat, except to say it could involve guns or explosives. what does it tell you that police are making this public, and even saying names of possible attackers, who were included in the warning? >> well, first of all, you know, they don't know that the names are real. so, in looking into this, they've not confirmed that the names provided actually are people that they can locate and stop from attacking. so they don't know if that part's fiction. also, the warnings were issued, apparently, before christmas, saying that an attack could occur not just in vienna, but in cities beyond vienna, other capitals in europe, which the authorities have not named. saying that the attack would occur between christmas and new year's. so you have unspecified locations, really not a specific time, other than saying that it would involve guns or explosives. and, you know, to me, this is almost a worthless threat, because european cities are already on alert for that type o

the fact he'd been warned earlier, tom fuentes, about carrying that pellet gun. but a lot of this information is how it got to the officers. for instance, the dispatcher neglected to mention that the 911 caller said that the gunman was probably a juvenile and that the gun may not be real. so the cops when you go to state of mind they have that there's a guy there, they have a description of his clothing, et cetera, but they don't have that key information. you're a cop in those shoes. how essential is that? >> well, couple things about that, jim. you know, you don't know -- again, the officer haves to go by what they're told by the dispatcher. you've already heard family members say that tamir was large for his size. that means if he looked a bit older than 12, 14, 15, there's other kids in the streets of cleveland and all over this country gunning kids down at that age with handguns. that's number one the size would be relevant. and you have kids much smaller than that that have killed other kids. secondly, even if someone from the public tells you i think it's

i'm joined now by cnn law enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director, tom fuentes.hanks so much for joining us. so we don't know exactly what they have found, what they may have even retrieve. earlier you said, you know, if it does mean like the hard drive or anything electronic, there's a pretty good possibility you could still retrieve information. let's talk about what kind of credible information investigators must have had to even go to this lake and feel fairly confident they might locate something there, because this couple has recently been there. >> fred, it could have been as simple as a neighbor saw this black suv, at the time, didn't think anything of it, until later, watching the news, they see that that vehicle or a vehicle resembling that vehicle, had been close to that lake. and it could as simple as that. it doesn't sound like they have area video cameras or traffic cameras that might have spotted the vehicle or spotted them personally, but sound like maybe one or two neighbors may have called in said, you know, now that we see this happened, we may

tom fuentes, you are watching what is going on. a very gruesome scene. tom, it looks like this is an active situation that has not been resolved. tom: they are still trying to determine if someone else's in that vehicle. enough, tinted glass that you can't see through it. we don't know if it is a good or bad guy down on the street. wolf: could be a police officer, could be one of the suspects if there is more than one. >> they have to be careful, this is a residential neighborhood. you are talking about high-powered rifles. law enforcement is taught that you have to have a target to shoot at. you can see, they are using actual front yards and fences of people's neighborhoods to make sure that they have a good angle on this particular vehicle. >> we are breaking in now with new developments in the mass shooting earlier today in san bernardino california. you may recall from earlier that witnesses reported three gunman office building had escaped in a dark suv. now, the police have stopped this suv in southern california. it is surrounded. we have not seen

i want to bring in our security analyst, tom fuentes. so, tom, it's a credible threat.talked about backpacks and other thing. what does that say to you? >> they're searching all buildings, but that would mean every locker. students take backpacks to school and it may contain an explosive device. if you have 700,000 students and i don't know how many staff members that have lockers or closets, then you're looking at 800,000, 900,000, 1 million student lockers inside of the 900 buildings. this is just a mammoth task. i can't imagine how they're going to pull this off. >> why aren't police and the superintendent releasing exactly what the threat was? >> well, one of the main reasons is that if somebody eventually admits to being the person, just to have their own 15 minutes of fame, if someone admits to being the person that sent it, they want specific details withheld that only that person would know. if they release every detail of what was in the communication to the public, especially certain details that really don't matter in terms of the safety or evacuation of the

let's as we await the start of the briefing, tom fuentes is with us.divers into the lake looking for a hard drive or other evidence, that's not an easy assignment, especially if the depth is 20, 25 feet. >> they go looking for equipment and do an under water search and practice this and train for it and are very experienced at it. when i was an an assistant, they did a dive when they chased a cop and saw them throw the gun in san francisco bay and dove into the bay with navy ships keeping them from drifting off to sea and found the gun. the diving teams are very good and have a good shot at finding something if in fact, it's there. >> i've seen stories where they have drained small laking searching for evidence. >> absolutely. >> you've heard of that. >> yeah. >> this lake presumably doesn't seem like a huge lake. >> that's a man-made lake. >> if they find the hard drive and it's not damaged, that could be very key. >> the guys are great at recovering information from even damaged equipment. the kind of thing i would be looking at for example is search

>> does he have the confidence, tom fuentes, of the chicago police department?the mayor. >> i don't think he does. and i think especially, you know, he's just sacrificed their last superintendent mccarthy. and what we don't know and what started to emerge is that rahm emanuel's the one that held back on these videos or has been fighting the release. now we don't have superintendent mccarthy anymore. and the current videos are being fought from being released to the public. so i think he's being held accountable for what decision it looks like being his decision to not release the videos and be transparent. >> jeffrey, i want to switch gears a little bit. another major development here, something we're watching the u.s. supreme court the justice antonin scalia hearing of an affirmative action case, he said, let me quote from scalia, there are those who contend that it does not benefit african-americans to get them into the university of texas where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less advanced school, a less -- slower track school, he said,

terrorists simply by pushing people aside and making them feel like they don't belong here. >> tom fuentesassistant director of the fbi, i assume you worked closely with muslim americans. >> absolutely and i said repeatedly during the paris attacks one reason we have not seen a successful attack with six, eight, ten people completely unknown to law enforcement intelligence that lived in multiple communities n brussels and paris without anybody knowing them, we don't have that. every conspiracy where two people try to get a third, try to get a fourth, before too long the fbi is no because of the relationship in the community. somebody in the community calls the fbi and police and says this person is trying to put together a group to do an attack it was very impressive in san bernardino in the early stages of this that c.a.r.e., an inner, i guess, religious group but mostly muslim came forth and condemned this. it is not muslim. it is not anti american but anti muslim. >> there was a family member out there condemning it immediately. >> the whole community has been careful, not politically c

(tom fuentes/law enforcement analyst): "at this point in the investigation, marquez can supply a lot of information, that's a critical thing because he can fill in a lot of blanks about a time period the fbi may not be able to electronically recover at this point."marquez allegedly confessed to giving farook two rifles....weapons used in the attacks that killed 14 people. while marquez told authorities he did not know about the san bernardino terror plans - officials say he did admit to plotting two other terror attacks with farook.according to investigators -- the friends and one time neighbors conspired in 2011 and 2012. they wanted to strike a library or cafeteria at a community college, their alma materinvestigators say the pair also talked about throwing pipe bombs on a busy freeway -- and shooting at stopped cars.those attacks never took place. marquez allegedly telling investigators that he backed off after two others in california were arrested on terrorism arrested on terrorism chargesmarquez is also accused of entering into a sham marriage with a member of farook's family.a

the former federal prosecutor, sunny hostin and former fbi assistant director and analyst tom fuentese actually arrested with some of your colleagues protesting on the streets of chicago. >> yes. >> give us your thinking. why did you decide to do that? >> we wanted to send a very strong message to law enforcement. the naacp thought the best way to send a strong message to law enforcement was to break the law in order to deliver the message to law enforcement that you cannot violently violate the constitutional rights of your citizens by not holding police officers accountable and allowing them willy-nilly to prey upon the people that they are charged with protecting. so the police department that for over a generation has not been accountable, not been transparent, where we have a police review board that received 10,000 complaints and only resulted with any significant disciplinary action in 19 of those, where we have a police department that has operated its own domestic guantanamo in terms of disappearing citizens and violating their rights. this is the kind of department that need

tom fuentes and don is going to be back here at 10:00 p.m. eastern for his program cnn tonight. >>> we're going to have much more news ahead. . >>> as we near the end of 2015, cnn is exploring the epidemic of heroin addiction. it's getting more national attention as this crisis grows deadlier. tonight, dr. sanjay gupta talks to an athlete-turned addict who got hooked. >> reporter: when he was just 8 years old, he became obsessed with gymnastics. he was so good, that his dreams of going to the olympics were within reach. he couldn't imagine that a dental procedure when he was 19 would derail those dreams and start a whole new obsession with prescription pain pills. >> it just worked. you know, it clicked. it's like the stars were aligned and i've never felt anything like it. >> reporter: this time, it was percocet but the high joe felt from all sorts of opiates eventually led him to heroin, one of the most dangerously addicted substances on the planet, nearly impossible to escape. as hard as he tried, joe was among 78% of heroin addicts who re

tom fuentes, we so appreciate your insight on this.hank you, sir. >> thank you, christi. >>> so one poll is an outlier. two polls? now we have got a trend. donald trump in second place in iowa. we are going to show you the latest poll that has him trailing by double digits. >>> deep concerns aboisis getti strength in libya. >> temperatures were all over the place this weekend. some areas experiencing this. you know? snow. folks out on the slopes. other areas dealing with late season warm spell. we will take a look at the winter temperatures next. i've smoked a lot and quit a lot, but ended up nowhere. now i use this. the nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release technology, helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. the markets change, at t. rowe price, our disciplined investment approach remains. we ask questions here. look for risks there. and search for opportunity everywhere. global markets may be uncertain. but you can feel confident in our investment experi

let's get some more peter bergen, tom fuentes, phil mudd, phil, how do we combat the spread of isis ideoloed ideology online? >> there's way too much focus in the national debate in america about bombing our way out of this problem. as long as everybody's got a dog in this fight that is the russians, the americans, the turks, the jordanians, isis will benefit from that chaos in syria. and they'll be propagating propaganda. there's got to be more of a focus from secretary kerry. and he's been accelerating the focus on a cease-fire in syria, so everybody focuses on the common target. here in the united states let me give you a simple message. for too long the americans, the american you cannot have u.s. government officials competing against 22-year-old isis individuals. i'd say farm it out. pay college students 15 bucks an hour. you get online. you fight them. you're the tech savvy group. >> does the fbi has tools to monitor all these isis recruiters and sympathizers in the united states? >> there's a part kcouple part t question. >> start with manpower. >> they know they have 900 investigati

i want to bring in don lemon, joey jackson and cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes, a former fbissistant director. joey, cosby admits giving constant the pills in this deposition. he actually calls them three little friends to help her relax or three friends to help her relax. how strong is the prosecutor's case? >> you know, brianna, good evening to you. it depends who you ask. if you ask the prosecution very strong. why? because they are going to say a number of things. number one, this is all preserved. what is preserved? she went to canada, that is andrea constant and her mom noticed changes in her behavior and having nightmares and not the same person and it was then reported to the canada police department and transferred to the pennsylvania police department. they investigated. they have statements from cosby where he makes a number of admissions at that time and predicated upon that, they are saying look, we have the goods. you essentially admitted what you did. look at the depositions and more admissions there and they, the prosecution said we got you, however, brianna,

joining me now is tom fuentes and cnn intelligence and security analyst bob baer. tom, given that the husband here was hanging out with four men who were convicted of providing material support to terrorism planning on fighting against u.s. forces in afghanistan, do you think law enforcement should have had him on their radar? >> we don't know, anderson, when you say hanging out or links to or somebody's connected with that makes it very difficult to say was there a real relationship? a couple contacts? again that group was planning to go to afghanistan as kyung mentioned and commit an attack overseas and all arrested. so, you know, apparently farook did not get into that group enough where he would have been seen as someone also intenting to go and commit a terrorist act against u.s. troops in afgh afghanist afghanistan. >> was this an intelligence failure or do we not know enough at this point? >> i think so far it wasn't. the fbi can only move if there is an act, if farook bought a ticket, he had anyway material support to terrorism. the most the fbi can do is si

also joining us, our law enforcement analyst, the former fbi assistant director tom fuentes. our terrorism analyst paul crusshank. and retired atf agent paul may joining us as well. it looks like the evidence is increasingly growing. the individual in this particular case, syed rizwan farouk, may have actually been in contact with international terror suspects. what do we know? >> they're going to be looking at that. they'll look at his travel to saudi arabia, to pakistan, whether he had connections to groups like isis, groups like al qaeda. i think there very well could be mixed motives here. we've seen that in the past. here in the united states, last september, september 2014, there was a beheading in oklahoma by a guy who had become radicalized but also he had been fired from his job, and also in france, just in june, there was an extremist who beheaded his boss in a trucking company and sent a selfie to isis in syria. he had problems with his boss as well. we've seen these blended motivations before. >> it could have been a combination of anger at his employers, for exam

they were clearly doing to prepare. >> clearly that requires skill to do that. >> absolutely. >> tom fuentese pipe bomb type devices, thousands and thousands of rounds of ammunition and there is obviously suspicion this couple may have been planning another attack. when you hear that information, what do you think? >> i think that could be true but i think their original intention a bigger attack and he got angry at the function and decided the heck with it. unless they find digital media obtained but we just don't know it certainly they didn't need that much equipment, that much armorment to go into a holiday party and shoot it up. to me they might have had another attention first and got diverted. >> stand by because we're getting more information to take a quick break, more breaking news right after this. when i lay in my tempur-pedic contour then i slowly feel it start to kind of wrap itself around me. then the next thing i know it's morning. with tempur-flex you've got the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress then it also adjusts to my body. my cloud feels so comfortable. it feel

i want to bring in cnn law enforcement analyst, tom fuentes. tom, we have a fugitive and his mother now in custody. i have to tell you, puerto vallarta, a lot of americans vacation there. you surprised they picked such a high-profile location to hide in plain sight? >> actually i was surprised, michaela. normally, we have hundreds, if not thousands of fugitives that flee to mexico. >> yes. >> and have been apprehended by mexican. they normally go to puerto vallarta, acapulco, cancun, a renowned resort area and get caught. the u.s. marshal service, the fbi included, have an outstanding relationship with the mexican authorities when it comes to getting fugitives. it's interesting, we worry about the bad people, according to trump that come from mexico to the u.s. nobody pays attention to how many americans go there. >> an arrest warrant was issued for this guy and his mom on december 11th. some 18 days ago. the time line of this, did it surprise you that length of time it took or was this speedy in your estimation? >> i think probably about averag

. >> tom fuentes, do you believe these two had planned to hit other targets? fact they had other weaponry with them, so many rounds, these explosive devices, even though they were apparently poorly made, do you believe they wanted to continue on creating terror? >> i think, anderson, they may have but they also might have had a different target in mind in the first place and then went to this party and for whatever reason changed their mind and decided to attack maybe, you know, on the spur of the moment this location was the reason for the attack when maybe originally they were going to go to a sports stadium or somewhere that had a much larger number of people at it. that we may never know. >> how crucial, tom, do you think it is to learn exactly the nature of the dispute that occurred at this party? do you think, is that just kind of a side, you know, part of this or do you think that's critical to understand why they hit this facility? >> well, i think it will be important to hear what the story was, what exactly occurred during that argument but i think w

tom fuentes, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> alisyn? >> up next, a special segment.ve three of our best foreign correspondents, they're here in studio to tell us what they're seeing and hearing on the ground in other countries about trump's plan. i've smoked a lot and quit a lot, but ended up nowhere. now i use this. the nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release technology, helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. ♪ whei just put in the namey, of my parents and my grandparents. and as soon as i did that, literally it was like you're getting 7, 9, 10, 15 leaves that are just popping up all over the place. yeah, it was amazing. just with a little bit of information, you can take leaps and bounds. it's an awesome experience. >>> donald trump facing mounting backlash over his anti-muslim policy. top republican leaders including the house speaker and chair of the rnc say the proposal is unamerican. leaders from britain and france also fiercely condemning his plan. but this latest controversy isn't

our national security analyst peterbergen, phillip mudd, and law enforcement analyst tom fuentes., she may have been radicalized long before she came to the united states. that must send some alarm bells to u.s. officials. >> it does, but it sends more questions than answers. you'd think as the investigation would go along that the questions start to diminish, but two come to me with this process. the first is in a lot of these cases, radicalization can be weeks or months. she went through a year, two years, it took that long to select a target. the second and the most interesting question or problem i have in the whole case is the target selection. if if you have somebody that's this radicalized, if you look at the past 14 years of history, they are beginning to pick a target with a lot of consideration. twin towers, subway, in this case, she picks a county facility. i don't understand the questions rising. i think the story is getting more confusing. >> maybe this was just the first target. >> we're missioning a lot of pieces of the puzzle. >> but why jeopardize the big target t

former cia operative, our national security analyst peter bergen and cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentesstant director. bob, this arrest does not charge marquez with being involved directly in the san bernardino shooting, as you just heard evan report. but saying he bought the rifles and purchased the explosives used in those pipe bombs that the couple built, that could have -- could this have -- could this couple have carried out this whole thing, this whole operation with just the two of them, or did they really need enrique marquez? >> i think they probably could have bought weapons themselves, wolf. but i think this is part of a larger network and clearly material support to terrorism. i'll tell you what disturbs me and disturbed the fbi for two years. i know for certain. is this conversion of latinos to islam and interest in the islamic state in joining these groups, which is a new phenomenon. and it's very difficult for the fbi to watch these conversions. i dprafrankly didn't believe itt now after this attack in san bernardino, i think it's a real problem and i'm quite sure they're

our law enforcement analyst, tom fuentes, a former fbi assistant director.tin and jeffrey toobin. sonny, was the decision by the grand jury to not bring any indictments related to her death wrong? >> well, you know, i don't want to say that the grand jury acted inappropriately, but i will say this. we all have heard of the old adage that a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. well, that is really true. the power is with the prosecutor. and if a prosecutor wants to indict a case, guess what, the case gets indicted. so we know in this case that there were special prosecutors assi assigned, i think five of them. i am shocked that the prosecutor, the special prosecutor, could not get an indictment. when you talk about and you look at what happened at the jail, now, my understanding is the arresting officer is -- you know, this nonindictment doesn't have to do the arresting officer, but it certainly has to do with what happened with -- at the jail and with the jail staff. i think it's really clear to anyone that's been following this case that at the very least,

law enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director tom fuentes and former congresswoman jane harmonthe top democrat on the intelligence committee and heads up the woodrow wilson center. to you first, congresswoman. the the u.s. were to take out al-adnani, this would be symbolic or would this affect isis' operations? >> it sounds like it would really affect their operations for a bit of time. this is a resilient organization and more people pop up as we take them out and we have to roll back their territory, not just roll up their guys. then we have to defeat the idea. it's a big problem and we have to get on with it. >> how effective do you think it would be? what would the impact be, peter? >> well, think back to abu musab al zarqawi who founded al qaeda in iraq which was the pro general or the of isis. this was his plan. isis has increased dramatically in power since. so it's not about one person, it is as congresswoman harmon gestured at, it's about taking out the network, the middle managers. it's a campaign, more than one person so obviously he's significant but lots of signifi

and editor in chief of ctc sentinel, pool cruickshank and paul fuentes, cnn law enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director. tom, let me start with you. so now that enrique marquez has been charged and is behind bars, does that mean investigators think they've gotten everything out of him that they could have? >> i think so. i think that would be the indication because he cooperated for several weeks. so they had all that time to really exhaust all the information they could get out of him and i think when they were at the point they were satisfied, they went ahead and informed him he was going to be charged and informed the rest of us. >> as we just heard from evan's reporting and as we can read in the affidavit, enrique marquez gave them a lot of information, a lot of information about even what they had planned beforehand, how he got the weapons. what stands out to you about what he told investigators? >> i think in a way -- >> hold on, tom. this is to paul. >> i'm sorry. >> fascinating new information from enrique marquez, relating back to those plots in late 2011 and in 2012 that farook and he planned to h
