Totally baffling. This Associated Press write-up of yesterday's FBI press conference makes clear that everyone involved agrees that deceased shooter James Hodgkinson detested Republicans with a fiery passion, yet investigators seem unwilling to call his attack premeditated or specifically targeted -- nor will they comment on his motive at this point. Why? Am I missing something here? This is what they're telling us right now:
The gunman who shot a top House Republican and four other people on a Virginia baseball field didn’t have any concrete plans to inflict violence on the Republicans he loathed, FBI officials said Wednesday...They said he acted alone and had no connections to terror groups. But they said they had not yet clarified who, if anyone, he planned to target, or why, beyond his animus toward President Donald Trump and the Republicans he felt were ruining the country...“At this point in the investigation, it appears more spontaneous,” Slater said. Hodgkinson had a piece of paper with the names of six members of Congress written on it, Slater said, but the note lacked any further context and there was no evidence from his computer, phone or other belongings that indicated he planned to target those officials... He also took pictures of the baseball field where he would later fire more than 60 shots. “The FBI does not believe that these photographs represented surveillance of intended targets,” the FBI said in a statement.

It was just a case of nonworkplace violence. Obviously a man-caused disaster.
They’re trying to keep CW2 at Bay.
>>Back to the old “intent” thingy, I see.
I’ve suspected for years that the FBI is able to read a person’s mind, but it never occurred to me that it is also able to read the mind of the deceased! /s
Kinda reminds me of the center fuel tank explosion determination.
Yeah, that was incredible. Evil.
Spontaneous?? Benghazi and now Hodgkinson.
It seems more like the FBI has gone the way of the State Department into full enemy of America territory.
F**king
Bunch of
Idiots
He was a bit jaded after 20 years there..
>>If this is true, where is Jeff Sessions?
And if it’s not true, where is Jeff Sessions?
If he had no target in mind why did he ask two congressman right before the shooting if those were Republicans on the field?
Arm up folks! The FBI doesn’t give a shit about us! (Unless, we say “arm up”!)
Agreed, the article quoting the FBI makes no sense. The guy moved from Chicago to Virginia, and stalked the place out for 2 months! Its pre-meditated. It was a planned assassination. But the FBI doesn’t want the people to know there is more to the story. He had a backer, someone was paying for him to be here, and they provided him intel to pick the place for the assassination attempt. Did it come from Hillary? Pelosi? Debbie Wasserman-Schultz? Schumer? There is more to this story
I believe they call this, “Willing suspension of disbelief”.................
Fed Bur of Matters has 0 credibility-if Hodgkinson were alive they wouldn’t even charge him-no intent. Spontaneous celebration.
this is the same Funny Bunch of Incompetents that burned Waco, that couldn’t stop 9/11, that let Mateen shoot up the gay bar, that missed Hasan’s planning, that couldn’t figured out the Boston bombers, that allowed the San Bernardino shooters family to buy him guns. I could go on and on and on. The FBI seems to be either a useless org, or a Covert Mob hit squad. But honestly they are not performing their job anymore
He was a member of a FB group called “Terminate Republicans”, a political activist, an Occupuke, and had visited Sanders’ office very recently. He obviously was in contact with a lot of similar commiepuke Dems. BTW, the “Terminate Repubs” cheered after the shooting.
Yes, as well as a few others from the Freedom Caucus. Unless THAT was a lie, too.
He had a list FCOL. This is how liberal lawyers think. The FBI must have been infected with liberals. That’s my take.
The FBI is completely corrupt with the exception of a few decent guys chasing bank robbers and such.
They are fully in the blackmail zone like J. Edgar was. Face it, it’s an agency that was created in the image of a Wilson progressive era homosexual.
They are being what they were created to be.
