“The gun used in the fatal shooting on the Rust movie set could not have been fired without pulling the trigger, ” far-left ABC News reported, summarizing an FBI forensic report.
This is in direct conflict with actor Alec Baldwin’s claim he did not pull the trigger on the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins last year during a camera rehearsal.
“No, no, no, no, I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never,” Baldwin told George Stephanopolous in December. “The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger,” he added.
The FBI says otherwise:
"Accidental discharge testing determined that the firearm used in the shooting — a .45 Colt (.45 Long Colt) caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver — could not have fired without the trigger being pulled, the FBI report shows.
With the hammer in the quarter- and half-cock positions, the gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger,” the report stated.
With the hammer fully cocked, the gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional,” the report stated."
As of this writing, Baldwin has yet to comment on the report.

According to the left all FBI officials are to be believed now so Alec must accept his fate.
“FBI Says...Gun Could Not Have Fired Without Someone Pulling Trigger”
There’s a reason that the FBI makes the BIG BUCKS.
Who needs an FBI, I could’ve made that call from my living room rocking chair (and in fact I DID!).
I heard that Alec Baldwin has some papers stored in a box in his basement. So I personally think it’s time for the FBI to raid Baldwin’s house.
The FBI - butt boys for white liberal ‘elites’ ...
He didn’t pull-pull the trigger.

A good friend of mine was in the business of manufacturing “cowboy action” ammo. He knows about these types of weapons. He also confirmed many months ago that the trigger was pulled.
It took them 10 months to figure this out.
Why are the FBI goons involved in this? It stupid not rise above state level.
“...But we excuse Alec because he plays ball on Team Donkey.”
Thank god we have F-troop to explain how a Colt single action works.
So maybe Alec is innocent. Maybe the gun did fire on its own.
Understand that this will be a revelation to liberals. They think that guns just “go off” all the time.
Does anyone recall what “fanning” a six-shooter is?
“With the hammer in the quarter- and half-cock positions, the gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger,” the report stated.
With the hammer fully cocked, the gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional,” the report stated.”
Why is the fully cocked ‘inability to fire’ description different from the partially cocked? Perhaps if certain parts are too worn the gun could fire in the fully cocked position without pulling the trigger? Hammer fan, etc?
I tell ya those feds nothing gets passed them they are smart lil ones 😂😂
It’s the same feds that we’re looking for nuke codes in melanias undie drawer
You can’t put anything past those guys!
