Having cleared from suspicion of complicity in the man who had taken over surveillance cameras in the company of the shooting, which in reality was just the taxi driver who took him at dell'eccidio, investigators revealed they had found evidence of premeditation of murder Loughner searching the house.
These include a ticket on which is inscribed the name of the Giffords. Yesterday, the CBS had also reported the discovery of the aggressor's home a thank you letter dated August 2007, sent to Loughner by the staff of Gifford to his attendance at an event very similar to the election meeting in the supermarket during which the 2enne has implemented his murderous plan.
As to motive, the FBI is on the trail that leads to a group of white supremacists and anti-Semitic, called "American Renaissance." FBI agents have traced the link between Loughner and investigating racist group profiles between the young man had in the account on Youtube and Myspace. The hypothesis is that Loughner was armed and manipulated by the supremacists.
And in this scenario is part of the story made in the Republic by the mayor of Tucson, Bob Walkup. "In November, Gabby Giffords is due if the do with Jesse Kelley, a former fighter supported by Tea party. The tones have become very harsh, maybe too much but eventually won again Gabby."

So the U.S. Capitol Police, the body that protects Members of 1800 officers and senators, has received many calls from members of Congress concerned about possible threats against them and demands for greater protection even in their districts, since the Gifford was hit in his Tucson. The most striking case about Jason Chaffetz, Republican of Utah, who received threats via Twitter right after the shooting.
"Of course I want to take that into account - he said, after having delivered the message to the competent authorities - the people must be calm, the anger seems to be going in both directions." As revealed an official of the Democratic Party, the FBI has contacted many members directly asking for their program of public engagements in order to provide adequate support to local law enforcement.
At present only the main leaders of the House and Senate have the escort of at least one agent of the Capitol Police in plain clothes. The protection for the other fire only in front of specific threats, such as the anthrax letters received in 2001 by Senator Patrick Leahy. Now many on Capitol Hill are asking whether there needs to do more.
For example, request the intervention of other bodies, like the U.S. Marshall Service, to ensure the protection of deputies and senators outside the area of Washington. Service to place federal marshals to the federal courts. The issue was also addressed during the conference call organized by the Emergency Speaker John Boehner, which was attended by 600 members of the House, their employees and family members, during which the FBI has given a picture of the situation in Arizona.
Now the participants are expected at a meeting convened on Wednesday, which will be provided new recommendations and measures for their safety.
