The FBI botched its investigation of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting — downplaying the gunman’s anti-GOP motives***
The House Judiciary Committee, *** released the scathing, unclassified report on its findings Tuesday after combing through roughly 3,000 case file documents it was given last month on the attack that wounded six, including current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), and led to the death of gunman James T. Hodgkinson.
“This is the same FBI that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bomb [on Jan. 6, 2021], who can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs opinion and who can tell us who put cocaine at the White House,” ***Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) ***
Shortly after Hodgkinson’s June 14, 2017, attack on a Republican practice session for the congressional baseball game in suburban Alexandria, Va., the FBI wrote up an executive intelligence briefing that concluded he wanted to commit “suicide by cop.”
*** “The FBI used false statements, manipulation of known facts, and biased and butchered analysis to support a narrative that Hodgkinson committed suicide by cop without any nexus to domestic terrorism.”
But congressional investigators have since found evidence that the bureau concealed information from the public that would have undermined its initial “suicide by cop” conclusion.
That suppressed evidence includes key details about a handwritten note found on Hodgkinson that listed several Republicans as targets.
*** GOP lawmakers argued that the case file made clear the attack was a “premeditated assassination attempt on Republican congressmen by a radical, left-wing political extremist, who was seeking to affect the conduct of our government.”
“The guy had a hit list in his pocket,” Jordan said. “[Former FBI director James] Comey, [former FBI deputy director Andrew] McCabe, [former FBI director Christopher] Wray, they all knew it was domestic terrorism, but that didn’t fit their narrative.”

Marxists who want to sow fear and demoralization have ALWAYS used the “mentally-ill lone wolf” over the last 60 years.
On purpose for political gain.
When do we get to the arrests part?
There is always this bland “The FBI” concealed this, the Secret Service “didn’t find that”. But they never seek to find out who and fire them. So the FBI concealed evidence, altered statements etc. Well, who was that somebody? Who ordered it done? Who concurred” Who did it? Who typed it out? Who made the report? Why aren’t they fired? It may not be criminal, but it certainly fireable.
Start finding out the who’s and getting rid of them. They are corrupt and don’t change with the political appointees. They are the long term FBI agents who are corrupt.
Right after they release the Epstein files and extensive video library, or never—whichever comes first.
I am sure the guy who shot Pres. Trump was also mentally ill lone wolf.
Agree, get the authors names and fire them.
The FBI is a failed institution and needs to be razed. And I agree with your solution, too.
Fire them? The last word they should hear is the word Fire at the Navy yard.
Stop pussy footing around. They are in the Executive Branch, the EXService, the FBI, some of the other investigative services, the legislature, and the courts. They are not obstructionists or even seditionists, they are outright criminal communists. McCarthy tried to tell us and that was when the rot was controllable. Now it is spread to the point of needing extreme surgery. We are barely on life support as a nation. We are kidding ourselves if we think we got 3+ more years, the midterms can take away the bare majority we have and that includes RINOs.
STILL WAITING.
What about the most recent cover-up of Trump assassination attempt?
We are nearly TEN MONTHS in.
Why is there radio silence?
Botched? The word suggests error. No, it was not botched. It was propaganda.
Consequences beyond a strongly worded letter?
Boy, this is going to upset the FReeper Kash haters.
Are you volunteering to go down there and help?
The House Judiciary Committee did the heavy lifting and teed it up for Kash and Bondi.
The remaining question is whether those two can swing at the ball without whiffing.
The FBI botched “
They did not “botch it”. They covered it up
