Bizarre: FBI Calls Scalise Shooting 'Spontaneous,' Gunman 'Had No Target In Mind,' Motive
Townhall ^ | un 22, 2017 11:15 | Guy Benson

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 has nothing to do with stupid, and everything to do with corrupt.

He had a list.

Good grief FBI, would you please drop into your local “top secret” facility, and buy a feakin clue.

He asked “are these Republicans”, but hey, it was just random.

Honestly, how do you address this level of stupidity?

He spent one month in the area casing his target.

Yep, no plan here!

WTH?

I’ve been asking for a while. Where is Jeff Sessions? Inquiring, patriotic, law-abiding minds want to know.

The FBI is totally out of control.

AG Sessions has to bring this rogue agency under control.

Now.

More like F***ing Bunch of Idiots.

Disband them. Now. Fire all their not-so-special agents.

I saw one of these fools on TV being interviewed near the baseball field the day of the shooting. Completely clueless, just like those Eff Bee Eye dullards in San Bernardino.

One more thing.

Baraq Hussein 0bama literally weaponized the federal government against Republicans.

Draining the swamp will be difficult and dangerous.

The fact that he had a list and Scalise & Trump were friends confirms my initial suspicions...The shooting in virginia was a ‘shot across the bow’ to the Trump administration.

Planned and organized by the shadow gov/coup. The FBI is covering for them.

I thought the F.B.I. does not comment on an ongoing investigation! Isn’t that what Jimmy Comey told us a few times already?

Agreed. The agency the published this self serving dish of lies should be either closed entirely and a new agency created or aggressively pruned. The FBI are declaring just whose back they have protected and it isn’t America’s.

Excellent point. This may be a coverup of the person or organization that backed/brokered this attack. Supposedly Scalise was moving in on a pedophile ring.
