Report to shed light on what really took place when FBI shot Ibragim Todashev

2. "The bureau’s months of silence over the case have compounded the questions it faces" Why?

Do you not realize how long 3 gallons of white-out takes to dry?

That was a joke, though some may not recognize it.

For you of the younger persuasion, we used to have these things called typewriters, a sort of mechanical machine that imitated the word processor you use now. When one wrote something unintended such that it incriminated another officer by mistake, say, or if someone wrote the truth and wasn't supposed to, or, if we actually typed a letter by mistake, we had to literally paint the letters out with this stuff, which smelled awful, would smear, and sometimes wouldn't cover well.

It took forever to dry. And if you had to paint over multiple statements that you wanted gotten rid of, until you got them just right and matched up with all the facts you were creating for your report that was going to the public, why, it could take a long, long time.

You didn't miss anything.

Why these reports are taking so long I have no idea. They don't use whiteout any longer.
