Shortened title.

Full title: GOP rep. received threatening email with subject line 'One down, 216 to go...' after lawmaker shooting

The office of Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) received a threatening email with the subject line “One down, 216 to go…,” shortly after a shooter opened fire on GOP lawmakers who were at a congressional baseball practice, according to her office.

The person who sent the email then wrote in the body of the email, "Did you NOT expect this?"

"Did you NOT expect this? When you take away ordinary peoples very lives in order to pay off the wealthiest among us, your own lives are forfeit. Certainly, your souls and morality were lost long before. Good riddance,” the email said.

“From a news report I learned that the practice sessions aren’t out there for the public to see. The practice times and places are via internal email.”

There is no possible way this Democrat Party operative could have possibly known where to go between 6 am and 7 am and had an AK-47 and several rounds of ammunition and have known which Republican lawmakers to target.

This was a unique opportunity when almost 50 influential Republican lawmakers were in public with minimal security.

The shooter had no job and no legitimate means of support. Why was he even in Alexandria to begin with? Who was he staying with? Who was paying to support him? Who gave him the information about the early morning practice and helped him to get there?

This was a planned assassination attempt. James T. Hodgkinson did not have the intelligence or the necessary insider information to plan and execute this plot on his own.

He was not a random nut who randomly just happened to show up and shoot at the Republican Senators and Congressmen.

The surprise was that there was a Capitol police office with a firearm. If not for that, all the Republican office holders would have been murdered one by one.

That was the plan. To kill them all.

All the questions we raise — I wonder if answers will ever be provided. I wonder if anyone will even bother to investigate it.

Yes, there are plenty of questions, as detective has listed. I’ll be surprised if we hear much of anything after today. The gunman was killed, so no need to look into anything more, about how he got his information on where and when the practice would be. That’s the way this will be handled from here on out. Nothing to see here, move along.

You’re probably right. Who programmed this guy?

My suspicion is that this is part of the internal coup attempt and has deep state and Democrat fingerprints all over it.

But don’t you find it interesting that the zip code look-up is unavailable

This is what turned up when I googled 13309-1217 Lauren Benz. 128 Ford St, Boonville, New York. 13309-1217

Just checked out a “Lauren Benz” twitter account. If it is her she is a Bernie supporter.

There is only one reason these people think other people have stolen all their money and that the world is going to end because of “carbon emissions.” They have been fed these apocalyptic lies by one political party, in their bid to manipulate the public into voting for them to solve these manufactured crises. The blood is on the decades of increasing lies of the Democrat party, its members and supporters.

Could backfire. Democrat activists would have a GoFundMe page set up for him in no time to send him money for weapons.

A very sobering news report. Any further information about the source of the news report?

This was a unique opportunity...

Let's pray it kick starts the response we've all been waiting for from the drain the swamp team.

The assertion that the plan was to kill them all is undeniable. Even using an AK-47 had it's own message from the democrat's progressive faction.

Based on Obama's identification with and support of the muslim brotherhood it should not be surprising this type of third world solution would be put in play as the fading DNC dream of long term slave master sinks deeper into the orifice they keep their brains.

I’ve been saying for a while I won’t be getting on that bus. There are many who would put everyone on FR in reeducation camp if they thought they could.

I’m pretty sure that it does NOT ID the house, just the mail carrier route or similar.
