at the e-mails of somebody just because they've applied for a visa. there's just too many of them. >> reporter: an examination of malik's photos shows her evolution. as she went from wearing a loose scarf and make-up at the start of college, to a more and more conservative dress. malik's facebook account has been taken down, but abc news was able to recover posts from the profile page of an account authorities believe was hers, showing a picture of a goat and language, meaning a girl with no name. in august, 2014, she wrote, "woe to coconut muslims," a derisive term for one considered brown on the outside, white on the inside. the fbi director said his agents are investigating whether terrorist matchmakers are using fiance visas to get their people into the u.s. >> do you agree with me that if it was arranged by a terrorist operative of an organization, that is a game-changer? >> it would be a very, very

mentioned on the show many times is her poll numbers have completely tanked over the past couple of months in germany because of her -- a lot of people within her right wing party have really turned their backs on her. her whole mantra has been don't worry, we'll manage the refugee crisis, we can't turn our backs on these folks. talk about having political backbone to do something you know is not popular but trudge forward. i think that's why she got the cover. >> i agree completely. that's what it's about. that's why she's an impressive politician when you do something that is unpopular that goes against the grain that will probably damage your poll numbers but you do it anyway as a point of principle, that's a terrific thing. >> we've got a twitter question. >> i was thinking i have a twitter handle. you'll know this if you've been watching this week. if you have, thank you. if you haven't, hello. my twitter handle is @richard p bacon. love to hear from you. here's our question. i think it's a way of getting to

tag to make it appear the second bear kill was illegal. >> it's very important they operate well within the boundaries of the law. if they operate outside of the law it undermines the purpose of having a professional guide organization in the state of alaska. >> michael renfro was one of the guides on the hunt with veil and has also been charged. >> if i could do it over again, i would do it differently. there was no personal gain to myself or my business. the only gain was hopefully theresa wouldn't lose her career. >> the outdoor channel says the hunt in question never aired and that they are committed to ethical hunting. >> vail says she followed poor advice and allowed the second bear to be improperly tagged adding she reported the incident and has fully cooperated with authorities. i am deeply sorry for my mistakes. arraignment is set for next week. neal karlinksky, abc news, seattle. >> thank you very much indeed. the man you will have to befriend if you want to listen to the wu tang clan's new album. >> a hair color debate on one of the disney's most beloved "the skinny" coming up next.
