FBI Says Stop Looking at Me!
Mollie Hemingway uses much more polite language than I would in covering the FBI’s “nothing to see here” whitewash of the targeted assassination attempt on the GOP congressmen:
So what does the FBI decide this information means? Well, the takeaway of the briefing was characterized well by the Associated Press headline about it: “FBI: Gunman who shot congressman had no target in mind.” The Associated Press reported the FBI:
- believes the gunman “had no concrete plan to inflict violence” against Republicans,
- “had not yet clarified who, if anyone, he planned to target, or why,”
- believes he may have just “happened upon” the baseball game the morning of June 14, and that the attack appeared “spontaneous,”
- are unclear on the “context” of Hodgkinson’s note with six names of members of Congress,
- does not believe that photographs of the baseball field or other sites “represented surveillance of intended targets,” and
- “painted a picture of a down-on-his-luck man with few future prospects.”
If I were Putin, I’d be jealous of that level of disinformation. Perhaps they’ve hacked the KGB disinformation manuals.

Damn. The FBI needs to go. Worthless as Teats on a Bull.
But you can 100% totally trust them to investigate that Russian Pickle Juice collusion.
SHA – Spontaneous Human Assassination. Why, it could happen to any of us, couldn’t it?
The sheer Comeyness of that briefing is something to behold.
Holy cow. Unbelievable.
Why would this surprise you? The level of integrity in the FBI and the nation’s other security agencies is nil.
Literally true. It stopped being in mind when it made it to paper, picture, purchase, packing, and perpetration.
There is only one explanation. The FBI has been hacked.
Maybe Trump could do a quick executive order to change it to the F.I.B.
In fact, there’s a conversation about that … Is James Comey Putin’s Mole?
Unbelievable!
More fruits of electing Obama. I’d like to formulate the following rules proceeding from this experience. Henceforth:
Who you gonna believe? The FBI, or your lyin’ eyes?
So my maps of the homes of prominent democrats and their security system dismantling codes are OK to bring on my upcoming vacation?
Edit: I’m going to see the capitalist rodent in Anaheim. Power to the people!
The FB Lyin’ I.
Yes, its just evidence that you’re an unemployed, down on your luck loser.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe both at the same time?
I’ve said it before. We’d do just as well to shudder the whole lot of ’em. FBI, CIA, NSA, etc, etc, etc. Don’t you feel safe knowing these are the people in charge of our safety?
I would task them with finding the leakers, to the exclusion of any other activity: when those people are identified, with enough evidence to convict them, you can go back to playing James Bond. And if you can’t find them, we’ll shut you down because you suck at being spies.
At this point, I don’t trust any of them. I say clean house. They are all leakers to me. You can’t tell me that an agent with any amount of integrity can stand by and watch this dog and pony show go on and not spill his guts to somebody about it. It would be the equivalent of me standing by and watching a fellow nurse or doctor give the wrong meds or do a wrong procedure and never saying a word. WTH!
Obviously it was the gun’s plan all along.
We need to hold the gun accountable.
I don’t trust them to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the sole.
Actually I sort of understand the FBI’s statement.
I view terrorism as furthering an political organizations goals by a campaign of a specific type of violence. In this case the individual did use the tactics of a terrorists but he does not have a connection or allegiance with a political organization calling for and directing people to do a terrorist act. The IRA fits this type of terrorism, the jihadist with their call to ISIS, (and what ever other names they use) also fit this type of terrorism. This guy does not. He did not kill in the name of the DNC or the Left or some other organization nor are those organizations calling for a campaign of this type of violence on their opponents at this time.
Given that the FBI is a Democrat organization staffed mainly with Democrat bureaucrats the chances that the FBI would find this guy a hard left terrorist with faint connections to the DNC, Bernie Sanders, etc approaches nil.
From a guy, Angelo M. Codevilla, who knows a thing or two about intel:
CPF,
Obviously, Hodgkinson turned into a Rhinoceros. It is not as uncommon a phenomenon as the FBI would have you believe.
Remember just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean…

Was the assassination attempt Deep State-approved?
Wait. He’s a Progressive Democrat.
Right… terrorism, no, but political assassination, yes.
