The FBI's Bizarre Cover-Up of the GOP Baseball Shooting
Front Page ^ | June 22, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 06/22/2017 1:16:16 PM PDT by detective

James Hodgkinson's assault on Republican members of Congress was the most serious political assassination in decades. And yet at the same time it was wrapped up by the Capitol Police.

There was really little for the FBI to do here. Hodgkinson's motives were fairly clear. He had a list of names of targets. His social media was filled with rants against Republicans. A witness describes him studying the area of his future attack. According to Rep. DeSantis, he asked if the players were Republicans or Democrats.

This is about as open and shut as anything gets. All the FBi had to do was go through his laptop and phone to confirm that he hadn't been coordinating with anyone else.   Except the FBI instead decided to treat Hodgkinson as if he were a Muslim terrorist. And by that I mean launch into a cover-up of his motives.

How about calling it “the Democrats’ assassination attempt”?

Who doesn’t have sketches of DC streets and a hit-list of R’s?

They actually look at his lack of threats in May-June as disculpatory, instead of as evidence of an attack plan, and a desire not to put the heat onto himself.

“James Hodgkinson had been living out of a white cargo van in the East Monroe Street area since March. East Monroe Street runs alongside Simpson Field, where four people were shot and two others injured.

“Former Alexandria mayor met congressional gunman at local YMCA. Euille said it was “the guy with the laptop” with whom he had chatted with each morning in recent months at the local YMCA.

Euille, who works out at the YMCA five days a week, said he often chatted with Hodgkinson and even tried to help the Illinois man find a job. “He was a loner, but presented himself very well. He was well-spoken and just didn’t seem to be depressed or irritated about anything,” said Euille.

“He never engaged in political talk,” Euille said. But Hodgkinson would shower, go out to his car, get his laptop and sit for hours. “Never really interacting with anyone but myself when he saw me, and this staff person at the front desk.”

According to Euille, Hodgkinson recently asked the front desk staff about the group of men playing baseball in the mornings at the ball field nearby. He wanted to know if they were Democrats or Republicans.”

Who doesn’t have sketches of DC streets...

I didn't know that. That makes another separate bullet point.

They actually look at his lack of threats in May-June as disculpatory, instead of as evidence of an attack plan, and a desire not to put the heat onto himself.

That kind of deductive reasoning leaves me nearly speechless.

"The 9-11 hi-jackers didn't have a plan as evidenced by the lack of any prior attack on the WTC."

Oh, wait, ... bad example. Uhh, OK, here it is...

"The 1993 bombing of the WTC wasn't planned as evidenced by the lack of any prior attack on the WTC."

I replied to that idea in post #28 It has real potential but something to indicate that he or they discussed something relevant to the attack has to be there to tie them together.

They haven’t found any evidence in the Russia investigation so they have to keep trying.

They are idiots but I don’t think that’s why they’re still investigating the Russia thing.

Of course it is. They think they can get rid of Trump by hammering on this

With the dems pouring gasoline and throwing lighted matches everywhere, there was bound to be some “spontaneous” combustion.
