Within the spring of 2017, simply months after Trump was sworn in for his first time period, a crazed gunman focused Congressional Republicans at a baseball recreation and critically injured Home Whip Steve Scalise, amongst others, earlier than being taken down by Capitol Police, who had been solely there as a result of Scalise’s place required a safety element.
The shooter, James Hodgkinson, was described as a Bernie Sanders marketing campaign volunteer and a Rachel Maddow “superfan” which explains why the story of the capturing fully disappeared from the media in a matter of days.
A brand new report from the Home reveals that the FBI fully ‘butchered’ their probe of the capturing, downplaying the shooter’s anti-Republican motives.
This whole incident, from the second it occurred, was mishandled and misreported.
The New York Publish reviews:
FBI ‘butchered’ 2017 congressional baseball capturing probe, downplayed anti-GOP motives of gunman, blistering report concludes
The FBI botched its investigation of the 2017 congressional baseball capturing — downplaying the gunman’s anti-GOP motives regardless of having handwritten proof, a blistering Home report discovered.
The Home Judiciary Committee, Intelligence Committee and Intelligence Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigation launched the scathing, unclassified report on its findings Tuesday after combing by means of roughly 3,000 case file paperwork it was given final month on the assault that wounded six, together with present Home Majority Chief Steve Scalise (R-La.), and led to the demise of gunman James T. Hodgkinson…
Shortly after Hodgkinson’s June 14, 2017, assault on a Republican apply session for the congressional baseball recreation in suburban Alexandria, Va., the FBI wrote up an govt intelligence briefing that concluded he needed to commit “suicide by cop.”
4 years later, in 2021, the FBI abruptly modified its dedication — with out new proof, based on Tuesday’s report — to conclude that Hodgkinson’s assault was really motivated by home violent extremism.
This simply goes to point out how badly a change in management was wanted.
The FBI being corrupted by partisans who play politics with legislation enforcement to allow democrat messaging is the primary necessities for @FBIDirectorKash and @PamBondi to excise and forestall from ever occurring once more. https://t.co/JhH2A333gt

“The man had a success record in his pocket,” Jordan stated. “[Former FBI director James] Comey, [former FBI deputy director Andrew] McCabe, [former FBI director Christopher] Wray, all of them knew it was home terrorism, however that didn’t match their narrative.” https://t.co/Kd97vW2mmV

Think about if the shooter had been a conservative activist and Sean Hannity “superfan” who tried to kill Democrats. The media would have coated the story continuous for years as proof of Republican ‘extremism.’
