FBI Claims Attempted GOP Assassinations Are ‘Assault’ — NOT Terrorism

The FBI is treating the attempted mass assassination of Republican lawmakers as “assault” and not terrorism, FBI Assistant Director in Charge Andrew Vale announced at a press conference Tuesday morning.

If they called it "terrorism", they'd have to label the democratic party as a terrorist organization.

FBI Assistant Director in Charge Andrew Vale has his head jammed so far up his keister that his uvula is rubbing against his eyelashes.

The FBI is a big, steaming pile of Obama. Totally useless.

Yeah, I’m against classifying a crime as terrorism- unless it clearly is/was.

And this was.
