Washington, D.C. – In a bombshell report released Tuesday, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence accused the FBI of deliberately downplaying the politically motivated 2017 shooting that nearly killed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and injured several others. The shooter, James Hodgkinson, was a far-left extremist who opened fire on Republican congressmen practicing for the annual charity baseball game—but the FBI called it “suicide by cop.” That decision, the report says, wasn’t just wrong—it was dishonest. The 27-page unclassified report, compiled from more than 3,000 pages of FBI records recently turned over by new Director Kash Patel, reveals that...

The Democratic National Committee announced that Resistance Summer would begin in June. James Hodgkinson, a Bernie Sanders volunteer, delivered by opening fire on Republicans playing baseball. Hodgkinson had spent the weeks before the shooting staring at the site of his future attack and working on his laptop. What was he doing on his laptop? Ranting about Trump and Republicans. The left-wing terrorist who opened fire on Republicans practicing for a charity baseball game, an event to which they had brought their children, didnÂ’t come up with his own ideas. His Facebook pages were dumpsters rotting with reposted left-wing hate. There...

The FBI released new information Wednesday on the lone gunman who critically injured a congressman when he opened fire at a GOP baseball game last week, saying the suspect had visited the office of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and had exchanged emails with two senators from Illinois prior to the shooting, reports ... The FBI also said the shooter had been in contact with the offices of democratic senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth.

The FBI under Andrew McCabe labeled the 2017 congressional baseball game shooting "suicide by cop" rather than domestic terrorism. Left-wing activist James Hodgkinson specifically targeted Republicans for murder, but the FBI under Chris Wray reversed that decision years later, but stonewalled disclosure. Now, Kash Patel is promising transparency. FBI Director Kash Patel announced this week that he had handed over to Congress long-sought bureau records related to the 2017 congressional baseball game shooting following years of House Republicans arguing the bureau was stonewalling on why it had labeled the attack “suicide by cop” instead of domestic terrorism. James Hodgkinson, an...

Let's start by refreshing your memory on a few facts. Andrew McCabe, the former Deputy Director of the FBI, was fired from his job after a nonpartisan Inspector General determined that he'd lied under oath to federal investigators on multiple occasions. McCabe then started a GoFundMe, playing the victim as he manipulated 'Resistance' voters into sending him hundreds of thousands of their dollars. CNN, the self-professed "facts first" network proceeded to hire him as an analyst -- this man who'd been sacked for not telling the truth, under penalty of perjury. McCabe has used that platform to assail his critics,...

Dick Durbin, the leftist partisan hack who has advocated filibustering President Trump’s Supreme Court picks, has something to hide. The Associated Press has reported that GOP baseball shooter James Hodgkinson has been involved with at least two Democratic senators from his home state. Clearly these two senators are Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth. Durbin, who has long been an apologist for Islam, apparently is a defender of liberal aspiring killers as well. If the emails are so innocuous, why not just release them? What does Dick Durbin have to hide? From DailyCaller Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin’s office will not...

Shortened title. Full title: Congressional shooter James Hodgkinson was abusive alcoholic, foster daughter told judge before her overdose death Teenager Cathy Rainbolt told a judge her foster father hit her in the face when she failed to mow the lawn correctly. She got hit in the face when she argued. She got hit and dragged by the hair when she tried to get away. Her foster father was James "Tom" Hodgkinson, who is now infamous after shooting U.S. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, two police officers and a staffer on a Virginia ballfield Wednesday. Rainbolt told the judge that Hodgkinson...

Alexandria shooter James Hodgkinson lived out of a gym bag and hung out for the past month-and-a-half at the YMCA across the street from where he opened fire, according to a report Wednesday. Bill Euille, former mayor of Alexandria, said he and Hodgkinson spoke almost every day at the Y, where the alleged gunman would be seen working on his laptop, the Washington Post reported. “He was a very friendly person. But what I did notice about this gentleman is he’d open up his gym bag and in it, he had everything he owned,” said Euille, who lost his re-election...

These are documents sought by Capitol Hill officials for almost 8 years. Providing these documents was one of our top priorities in delivering a new FBI era of transparency. Thank you to the committee and Chairman @RepRickCrawford for your partnership in getting Americans the truth.

James T. Hodgkinson, deceased, is believed to be responsible for the shooting in the 400 Block of E. Monroe Avenue in Alexandria, Virginia, around 7:09 a.m. on June 14, 2017. The FBI is asking for the public's assistance with any information regarding Hodgkinson.

The alleged gunman who shot Rep. Steve Scalise and others Wednesday made a negative post about the representative on his personal Facebook page in January 2015. James T. Hodgkinson, the man believed to be the gunman at a baseball field in Alexandria, Va., Wednesday morning, posted to his personal Facebook page on Jan. 8, 2015 that “here’s a Republican that should Lose His Job, but they Gave Him a Raise.”

In June of 2017, some madman opened fire on the Republican congressional baseball team as they practiced in Alexandria, Virginia. James Hodgkinson was the suspect. He was killed after being shot by Capitol Police who were protecting Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), who was the House Majority Whip at the time. Officers David Bailey and Crystal Griner were injured in the assault, along with four others.[snip]Well, alas, the FBI has changed their tune, albeit very quietly. With Israel and Hamas on the brink of all-out war in Gaza, inflation soaring, and Colonial Pipeline, which supplies 45 percent of all fuel to...

FBI quietly admits 2017 GOP baseball shooting was domestic terrorism after all WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, the FBI quietly admitted that the 2017 Alexandria, Virginia baseball field shooting by a far-left radical who tried to murder several GOP members of Congress has now been classified as “domestic terrorism” carried about by a “domestic violent extremist.” The incident was previously classified as “suicide by cop.” In April, current FBI chief, Christopher Wray, was confronted by Republican lawmakers over the agency classifying the shooting as a “suicide by cop.” Continue reading…: https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/fbi-quietly-changes-2017-gop-baseball-shooting-to-domestic-terrorism/
