In a carefully worded statement, the FBI confirmed to the Oversight Project that Lyonel Myrthil was “en route to a family vacation out of the country” when the terrorist attack occurred.
FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate didn’t even know Lyonel Myrthil was out of the country. Abbate deployed a senior counterterrorism official from FBI HQ to New Orleans hours after the terror attack.

At least 15 people were killed and 35 injured after a terrorist identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar plowed through a crowd in New Orleans during the New Year’s Eve celebration.
New Orleans law enforcement held a press conference on New Year’s Day to brief the public on the terror attack.
Shortly after the deadly attack, law enforcement said there were two improvised explosive devices discovered inside Jabbar’s vehicle and at least one other IED was found near the crime scene on Bourbon Street.
However, the DEI hire in charge said it was not a terrorist attack.
Special FBI agent Alethea Duncan showed up to the press conference with a nose ring on and insisted the Islamic terror attack was NOT a terrorist event.
“This is not a terrorist event. What it is right now is there were improvised explosive devices that was found and we are working on confirming if this is a viable device or not,” Alethea Duncan said.
Of course, it turned out to be a terrorist attack.
WATCH:
Hold up.
An FBI Agent with a nose ring who can barely speak coherent English sentences told the media that a terrorist driving a truck with an ISIS flag killing 10 Americans is NOT a terrorist attack!?!
Seriously. listen to this
