A congressman who was on the baseball field during the 2017 shooting that nearly killed GOP Whip Steve Scalise says the FBI privately informed lawmakers it ruled the attack a "suicide by cop," a designation he said downplayed the shooter's apparently political motivation.
Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) revealed the previously undisclosed determination during a hearing of the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, upbraiding FBI Director Christopher Wray and prompting several colleagues of both parties to pile on. He said FBI agents privately briefed the baseball team on Nov. 16, 2017 to deliver the controversial determination.
“Much to our shock that day, the FBI concluded that this was a case of the attacker seeking suicide by cop,” Wenstrup said. “Director, you want suicide by cop, you just pull a gun on a cop. It doesn't take 136 rounds. It takes one bullet. Both the DHS and the (Office of the Director of National Intelligence) published products labeling this attack as a domestic violent extremism event, specifically targeting Republican members of Congress. The FBI did not.”

The director of the FBI is in good company with the new AG .... their combined IQs put them in the “fools” category.
The FBI is either hopelessly partisan or hopelessly incompetent.
The problem isn’t the FIB. The problem is this happened in 2017 and we are just hearing about it now. And you can thank the GOP for that. The GOP gave the FIB a get out of jail card because they wanted Trump gone. It’s that simple.
FBI has morphed into FIB
Fabled But Incompetent.
FBI rules that it is not a crime to shoot Republicans.
It is both, and add in corrupt. Wray is just as corrupt as Comey and both should be in jail for the crap they have and are pulling. The FBI has, like the media, become the enemy of the American people.
