BURNETT: And, Patricia, what about the issue of justice in Ferguson? We expect the attorney general in just a moment. He'll be speaking. And we hope that he will be giving a very explicit update on the federal Justice Department investigation into whether civil rights were violated in the Ferguson shooting.

Were they violated? How disappointing will you be if the Department of Justice declines to go ahead and press charges?

BYNES: I don't know what their investigation is going to find. You know, I think there will be another hit to this community.

But again, that's going to be another catalyst for us to continue to move forward, because this is much larger than just the Mike Brown case. People need the remember that. It is not just about the one case. This is about men and women of color and policing and all sorts of other issues that we cannot just be disappointed about one lack of indictment.

BURNETT: Martin, should the president go to Ferguson?

KING: I think the president has to make that --

BYNES: I'm sorry?

KING: Excuse me?

BURNETT: Go ahead, Martin.

KING: The president has to make that decision. But I think the most important issue is that the president is finding a way to work with Congress to get Congress to enact things that certainly do trickle down to the communities. Training, for example, in communities so that jobs are created. Those are some of the things that need to happen in this nation.

And as we see these demonstrations all around our nations, it is really a myriad of people coming together, young people, which is most exciting, tragic that it took something like this for it to happen. But the road is being paved as we speak.

BURNETT: All right. Thanks to both of you.

And next, the most serious terror warning from the FBI yet. ISIS recruiting those people to attack U.S. military inside the United States.

And, Sasha and Malia, an online rant tells them to show a little class and don't make faces. Are teenagers in the White House fair game?

BURNETT: And I know a lot of the trouble here is, of course, and there isn't necessarily always a trail, you know, with some of the lone wolves. You don't necessarily see it coming.

And I know the new FBI bulletin talks specifically about ISIS members and they use the word, quote/unquote, "spotting and assessing" individuals in the U.S. that they think will carry these attacks out on American soil. You have been briefed and I know you've seen the intelligence.

How are they, quote/unquote, "spotting" these people? How is ISIS spotting people?

KING: They can do it, first of all, they can monitor the Internet and you have people do basic things -- sending pictures of themselves in uniforms, talking about military activities, stories in local newspapers, any type of contact, anytime when you show who you are, when you show you're in the military, that makes you a target. And again, they can just go on the Internet. Communications back and forth, saying where you're moving to, where you've been reassigned. To saying you're going home for family birthdays or wedding anniversary. Any of those thing, you know, they're looking for.

BURNETT: Obviously, the most severe warning as we said from the FBI thus far. Thank you very much, Congressman King.

KING: Erin, thank you.
