The FBI Finally Admitted What We All Knew About the 2017 Attack on the GOP Congressional Baseball Team
Town Hall ^ | May 15, 2021 | Matt Vespa Matt Vespa

In June of 2017, some madman opened fire on the Republican congressional baseball team as they practiced in Alexandria, Virginia. James Hodgkinson was the suspect. He was killed after being shot by Capitol Police who were protecting Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), who was the House Majority Whip at the time. Officers David Bailey and Crystal Griner were injured in the assault, along with four others.

[snip]Well, alas, the FBI has changed their tune, albeit very quietly. With Israel and Hamas on the brink of all-out war in Gaza, inflation soaring, and Colonial Pipeline, which supplies 45 percent of all fuel to the eastern United States, being temporarily shut down due to a hack attack, now would be the time for the bureau to drop that this was an act of domestic terrorism.

If the current administration was in charge then, the officers who shot him would have been punished and the perp would be getting statues in his honor.

Hi.

I find all of the government’s alphabet agencies cannot be trusted.

Unfortunately, I say this from experience.

I guess they finally copped a clue and figured out the scam wasn’t working.

SCARY, when they reach THAT LEVEL of lying to us. But it is what happens when you don’t prosecute the liars initially - it just keeps building up, now to Soviet levels of lying.

Only took the FBI 4 years. I would be ashamed to admit I worked at the FBI. Pitiful agency that needs to be deep 6ed.

Wray has the look of a seedy used car salesman.

The FBI is in dire need of an industrial strength Enema. The same goes for State Department, IRS and the DoJ.

AND GAS PRICES SORING. They have gone up nearly a dollar around here since the election was stolen from President Donald Trump by the Marxist’s and members of the MSM Pravda lying cheating bunch. There is now one station in town that was at $2.99 .9 today after being around $1.96 .9 when Trump was cheated!!! Thank you BrainDead Joe and Marxist members of the politburo formerly known as the US Congress. The whole damned bunch needs to be tarred and feathered and run out of town.

The revelation appears in the middle of an appendix on page 35 of a 40-page FBI-DHS report released on Friday titled “Security Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism.”

That's what I call BURIED.

Who will believe the testimony of FBI agents, now that the agency is so politicized?

Cliff Notes / money quote:

"The FBI quietly admitted Friday that the 2017 Alexandria, Virginia, baseball field shooting that nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise has been classified as “domestic terrorism” carried out by a “domestic violent extremist” targeting Republicans after the bureau previously classified it as “suicide by cop.”

The revelation appears in the middle of an appendix on page 35 of a 40-page FBI-DHS report released on Friday titled “Security Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism.” In a section describing approximately 85 different “FBI-Designated Significant Domestic Terrorism Incidents in the United States from 2015 through 2019,” the Alexandria baseball field shooting appears, with the FBI categorizing the perpetrator as a “Domestic Violent Extremist” and describing the incident thusly: “An individual with a personalized violent ideology targeted and shot Republican members of Congress at a baseball field and wounded five people. The subject died as a result of engagement with law enforcement.”

The FBI is a joke. There is also no Justice at the Department of Justice.

The people who defend the FBI are blind to the truth. There may be a few good apples at the FBI, but the leadership is rotten to the core.

The federal agencies have all been corrupted. They lie with impunity. It won’t take long for the American People to get to the point they don’t believe any of them.

Then a real crisis will his and a lot of people will end up dead.

Very irresponsible.

Of course the FBI tried to bury it. Kind of surprised they came clean even to this extent. Was probably a mistake. Or maybe some decent people still exist within the FBI and snuck it in.

I don’t buy the label domestic terrorism. The guy was a Bernie Sanders supporter - a leftist. It goes with that territory. It is important to link violence and mass killing, not terrorism, to establishing socialism. It is the only way it can happen. It does not necessary require outright killing of people. Take the 1932 Soviet “drought”. That’s a euphemism for mass killing though failed centralized planning. Leftist break everything they touch, sometimes they kill intentionally. Let’s just caulk this up to leftists being leftist and not obfuscate it with terrorism since that brings to mind Mooslims. I don’t think the guy was a Muslim.

The FIB is releasing this now so that it can bolster their claim that Domestic Terrorism by White People is the biggest threat to our country.......
