MSNBC journalists on Monday responded with a shrug to the announcement that the FBI would release the uncensored transcripts the Orlando killer’s 911 calls (after initially redacting parts). NBC justice correspondent Pete Williams could not figure out what the big deal was and responded to the breaking news with puzzlement: “Not much of the information was omitted. I must say, I don't get the excitement about all of this because we already knew what was in the redactions.”

Williams blithely explained, “[Omar Mateen] said twice that wanted to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State, both times that he said that, that was left out. That's it.”

The journalist minimized, “Two people in Congress said that they thought this was a mistake not to put it in there and so, now, the FBI has put it in there.”

Earlier in the day, ABC and NBC didn’t seem to find anything controversial about the Justice Department’s decision. ABC’s Good Morning America minimized it to a one sentence explanation. On NBC’s Today, correspondent Gab Gutierrez breezily noted, “Later today, the FBI is expected to release partial transcripts of the three 911 calls between the gunman, Omar Mateen.”
