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.

Reading that makes me truly think that I am losing my mind.
What the hell is happening?
.
FBI is the KGB of the Democratic Party—they only work for the Clintons/Obamas and the Progressive Left. Sad really. Watch as they “Fine” Proof Trump is a Russian Agent and impeachable.
The NYT published an article about the baseball practice giving the early morning time, general location and the fact that the practices were attended by 2 capitol policemen who usually sat in a black car
I believe that was in April
If someone was sending instructions it was a helpful article
I'm certain that if J. Edgar had been running the show, we wouldn't be having the muslim problems we're having today. He would have squashed them like bugs.
Through the Looking Glass.
Incompetence or lying.
If this is the best the FBI can come up with then Comey and Mueller are bothe useless idiots
Something is definitely up with statements like that.
They stink like three week old garbage.
Apalachin Meeting , where a NY state trooper busted up a sit down.The mob had the goods on Hoover for the previous 25 years for being a homosexual.
This one goes in the same “Beyond Bizarre” file (Two levels above the X-Files) with Comey’s explanation of Clintoon’s not intending to break any laws.
A few days ago the FBI said on Wednesday they’d be making a statement. So that was the statement, or the main part of it, apparently.
Why is McCabe the corrupt POS still in a position?
This makes me SICK with anger.
No one who can read at a first grade level believes this crap.
Me too - it’s such an obvious, blatant lie!
“didn’t have any concrete plans to inflict violence on the Republicans he loathed, FBI officials said Wednesday”
If he didn’t plan on opening fire on the group to harm one of them and didn’t care who, then he loathed all of them. Why would he make it a point to identify who they were if he didn’t make a decision to shoot one or all of them for a specific reason. Otherwise he would have tried to shoot the one he hated and not shot a few of them, and brought far more ammo to make sure he got all of them since it didn’t matter who.
This is stupid.

File to have the FBI officials ‘committed’ since it is obvious to anyone with an once of common sense that the officials are mentally incompetent.
It is not incompetence. Anyone with an IQ above 70 who read even two or three public news articles about this knows DAMN WELL it was premeditated and that is no doubt whatsoever that there are others who hold exactly the same views Hodgkinson held. Very probably with similar plans.
It is not stupidity or incompetence. It is much, much worse.
Can you come up with any ideas of why they would OBVIOUSLY lie like this?
If you hear anything can you post?
This is just beyond mind boggling - it’s such an obvious lie.
Satan at work...
