Revealed: The FBI Classified the 2017 Baseball Park Attempted Assassination of Republican Congressman Not a Case of Politically-Motived Extremism, but a Mere... Suicide Attempt by James Hodgkinson

A congressman who was on the baseball field during the 2017 shooting that nearly killed GOP Whip Steve Scalise says the FBI privately informed lawmakers it ruled the attack a "suicide by cop," a designation he said downplayed the shooter's apparently political motivation.
Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) revealed the previously undisclosed determination during a hearing of the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, upbraiding FBI Director Christopher Wray and prompting several colleagues of both parties to pile on. He said FBI agents privately briefed the baseball team on Nov. 16, 2017 to deliver the controversial determination.
"Much to our shock that day, the FBI concluded that this was a case of the attacker seeking suicide by cop," Wenstrup said. "Director, you want suicide by cop, you just pull a gun on a cop. It doesn't take 136 rounds. It takes one bullet. Both the DHS and the (Office of the Director of National Intelligence) published products labeling this attack as a domestic violent extremism event, specifically targeting Republican members of Congress. The FBI did not."
Wray did not directly address Wenstrup's criticism, other than to confirm he was not the FBI director at the time -- a role held in June 2017 by Andrew McCabe -- but said he was grateful to Capitol Police and to Wenstrup, a doctor, who used his skills that day to triage injured lawmakers and others who joined them.

Quick I need Andy McCarthy to vouch for every warm body at the FBI again.

Via Kyle Shideler, who calls this, with heroic understatement, "completely unacceptable."

36 All law enforcement needs to be local. No more national police/investigation except forensic only.

Time for that to end. (of course it won't but we should be advised that we cannot trust any national police force.

Local cops are difficult enough to be sure about. But at least we probably know what their reasons are for a certain attitude.

47 If you guys haven't figured it out, the reason they do this is so that they can say "right wing extremism" is the number 1 threat, while everything else is minor.

DHS released a report like 10 years ago now talking about this, where they actually released the incidents they were talking about. 90% of the "right wing extremism" cases were prison murders where the murderer was white and the murderee was not.

But most Muslim terrorist attacks or left wing violence are not counted in those figures. Just "motive unknown" type incidents.

It's all about fudging the official statistics.

75 Most of the Federal workforce is leftist. In that they are unionized and the unions mostly lean Democrat party. It's a money laundering scheme by the Democrats.

All federal workers are suspect and you should be reminded that most all of them are considered federal agents. And that now includes any health care worker due to medicare/medicaid and all the programs provided by the FedGov makes anything recorded by your doctor in essence a report that can be accessed by any FedGov worker.

Potentially that means that if you lie to them you might be charged with interfering with a federal investigation or operation. They are what's termed Adjunct Federal Agents. Private citizens whose work is sanctioned by and overseen by Federal organizations.

Taking 10 minutes to read a news story I could read in 1 minute and then bloviating with "it's complicated" and standard moderate platitudes is not entertainment to me. I guess it's at least good that he's hardened up a quite a bit on the 2nd Amendment due to needing to rely upon it.

And he had gone on tirades about GOP Congress possibly killing Obamacare, no doubt fueled by being a Rachel Maddow Superfan.

Suicide by cop doesn;t require a hit list.

Look, I am sure there is more to the fight between the girls than that snippet the policeman witnessed. MaKhia is the one who called the cops, said she was being attacked.

HOWEVER, she was in the process of stabbing another person when the cop arrived, and it is his duty to try to stop that. Not about race. Not about who started it and why. We can assume that had the stabbing been allowed to happen, and the girl died, the police would be demonized by her mother as a racist cop who let her baby be killed while he stood by.

188 How come suicide by cop never applies to thugs resisting arrest?

Posted by: Brother Northernlurker just another guy at April 21, 2021 12:36 PM (cSyAR)

189 154 Meh. I don't much care. If the GOP as a whole cannot be arsed to ensure that attempts to assassinate its members are taken seriously as politically motivated violence, then they deserve to die. Truth is, the whole party is suicidal and I'm tired of having to make sure it doesn't have access to sharp objects or shoelaces.
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at April 21, 2021 12:33 PM (H5knJ)

I'd say that this sums up my thoughts as well. This incident, one would assume, would be one of those times where a 'strongly worded letter' doesn't quite do the trick, but that's what our GOPe is committed to.

If nothing else would have caused the basing of Steve Scalise, I would think that this would have. I was shocked that he didn't aspire to - or obtain - a higher profile after his shooting, like Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly did, for instance.

The only other (realistic) option would have been to TASER the chick. But he would have had to be close (within 15 feet of her IIRC), and the best place to TASER someone is in the back with a decent spread. But it's not always effective the first time, and if she had turned and run at the cop, he wouldn't have had time to pull his gun, and likely would have been stabbed.

Or he could have just stood back and kept yelling "drop the knife" until either the other girl was dead, or the girl dropped the knife. Which, honestly, is what I would have done in this political climate. Fuck getting close enough to get stabbed, fuck ruining my life trying to save someone else from being stabbed.

The Postal Service is running a 'covert operations program' that monitors Americans' social media posts

The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has been quietly running a program that tracks and collects Americans' social media posts, including those about planned protests, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.

The details of the surveillance effort, known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, have not previously been made public. The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as "inflammatory" postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.

Yeah. I could sell it pretty well in the police report, too. "Upon arriving at the scene, I exited my motor vehicle and witnessed the suspect approaching the victim with what appeared to be a sharp implement, namely a knife. Using escalating verbal commands, I demanded that the suspect relinquish custody of the knife. While attempting to engage the suspect in a dialogue, the suspect made furtive movements, which caused me to further escalate my verbal commands. The suspect then suddenly stabbed the victim multiple times. As I approached the suspect, repeating my verbal commands, she relinquished control of the implement, and was taken in to custody with the assistance of responding officers."

Boom. I should have been a cop.

There is a diff of having dirt, using it, and not giving a Flying-F what they know\have. The best leaders I ever knew, knew they were not perfect, made mistakes, and did the best actions with the resources they had.
Our current crop of politicos only care about their ability to rake in the cabbage, groom\harbor their power, and make sure nobody has the juice to come after their cabbage and power. They could care whit about their constituents - as long as they get cabbage, power, and adulation\fawning on their magnanimity...

No one wins at video poker, FFS.), seemed to have endless money to gamble, was very secretive with everyone around him, sent his Filipino wife away before the shooting, and had a large arsenal of guns ... I'm guessing he worked for an intelligence agency.

Probably one of ours, but who knows.

364 339 Doesn't Sean Hannity have a man crush on the FBI?
Posted by: JM in Florida at April 21, 2021 01:01 PM (vP3YE)

Yeah. Either they pay him to, or, more likely, the FBI has a few agents / former agents who go out and befriend media personalities as sort of a PR thing. Make Hannity feel like a badass, invite him to some BBQ's with FBI guys. Maybe bring him to the gun range once in a while.

Feed him some info now and then. Make him feel like "one of the guys."

As Rush Limbaugh used to say, it's hard to report uncritically on people that you know. Even if it's unconscious, you don't want to say bad things about people you consider your friends.

To be fair to Apple, they're the only tech company that has been consistently doing at least a half-assed job to protect consumer privacy, often at the expense of their big tech brethren.

Recently there was a huge cat fight between Tim Apple and Mark Zuckerberg over the updates in the App store that make it so that third party apps can't spy on users and report that info back to Facebook.

Meh. My source on this is the Phoenix police. They went to semi shotguns and ended up having to shoot more than the old pumps. Went back to pumps and shooting rates went back to normal. There was also the problem of training cops with the semi's. Seems some cops were trying to pump their semis in crisis moments.

388 Sure, monitoring social media for any potential threats to the government will be completely effective because every government upheaval in the past half dozen millennia was always first planned on facebook.

What it will do is give traitorous kids an opportunity to turn in granny who copied out a "10 reasons Trump won" meme.

394 Before this suicide-by-cop fiction, they were calling it a random street crime-fiction.

Hodgkinson announced to the world his intent to kill Republicans beforehand. He also spoke with Dick Durbin's office.

Durbin and Wray have a Senate comedy act where they blame white supremacists for everything. After one of Wray's performances, even Headquarters had to walk back his snake-oil statistics, which were only achieved with smoke, mirrors and 4 or 5 definitional sleights-of-hand.

This isn't about highlighting hypocrisy. Screw that. This is so all Americans will finally understand they don't have an FBI. Just an armed wing of the Democrat Party.

Besides the Antifa/BLM paramilitaries, I mean.
