In a series of tweets on Sunday, Cernovich reported the FBI…

A high profile investigation into the life and activities of the top state official is not a usual case and hence insurmountable evidence, witness corroboration and authenticated proof must be submitted to justify and charge such an official.

an evaluation of this film, an extraordinary impact will be presented on those who watched it and did not know much about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. For those who watch this film as their only information of the situation and do no further intelligence gathering on the matter, they are going to be very misinformed.
