House Report: FBI "Butchered" Fake Investigation Into Softball Shooter James T. Hodgkinson, Lied About His Motives for Shooting Up GOP Congressmen

The FBI does this consistently.

It has an agenda of downplaying all violence by Democrats or Democrat-protected constituent groups, like Radical Muslim Terrorists, in order to achieve Obama's goal of faking the stats to show that "far-right radicals" -- aka, "normal mainstream Christians and Republicans" -- are The Most Dangerous Terrorists of All.

There is no saving this organization. They refuse to admit what they've done and no GOPers are strong enough to tell them that they can either admit they are the Weaponized Branch of the Democrat Party and purge themselves of bad actors, or they can be defunded.

The FBI botched its investigation of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting -- downplaying the gunman's anti-GOP motives despite having handwritten evidence, a blistering House report found.

The House Judiciary Committee, Intelligence Committee and Intelligence Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigation released the scathing, unclassified report on its findings Tuesday after combing through roughly 3,000 case file documents it was given last month on the attack that wounded six, including current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), and led to the death of gunman James T. Hodgkinson.

"This is the same FBI that can't tell us who planted the pipe bomb [on Jan. 6, 2021], who can't tell us who leaked the Dobbs opinion and who can tell us who put cocaine at the White House," House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chided Tuesday morning.

"We shouldn't be surprised that they reached the wrong conclusion. They knew what the facts were."

Shortly after Hodgkinson's June 14, 2017, attack on a Republican practice session for the congressional baseball game in suburban Alexandria, Va., the FBI wrote up an executive intelligence briefing that concluded he wanted to commit "suicide by cop."

Four years later, in 2021, the FBI abruptly changed its determination -- without new evidence, according to Tuesday's report -- to conclude that Hodgkinson's attack was actually motivated by domestic violent extremism.

"The FBI then spent the next four years privately guarding the basis for its determinations by impeding Congressional oversight," the report assessed. "It was not until the FBI was investigating January 6 protesters and the application of Congressional pressure that the FBI changed course."

"The FBI used false statements, manipulation of known facts, and biased and butchered analysis to support a narrative that Hodgkinson committed suicide by cop without any nexus to domestic terrorism."

But congressional investigators have since found evidence that the bureau concealed information from the public that would have undermined its initial "suicide by cop" conclusion.

That suppressed evidence includes key details about a handwritten note found on Hodgkinson that listed several Republicans as targets.

At the time, the FBI said it found a sheet of paper that had names of six members of Congress, but did not elaborate.

GOP lawmakers argued that the case file made clear the attack was a "premeditated assassination attempt on Republican congressmen by a radical, left-wing political extremist, who was seeking to affect the conduct of our government."


"The guy had a hit list in his pocket," Jordan said. "[Former FBI director James] Comey, [former FBI deputy director Andrew] McCabe, [former FBI director Christopher] Wray, they all knew it was domestic terrorism, but that didn't fit their narrative."

...

"Regardless of whether Hodgkinson intended to die that day, suicide is not mutually exclusive with domestic terrorism," the report said.

As had been publicly reported not long after the attack, Hodgkinson harbored a deep animus against Republicans.

He was a member of a Facebook group named "Terminate the Republican Party," members of which praised him after the attack.

"I was getting older and wanted to make a statement in my life before the end," the gunman wrote in one note.

"A man realizes the political scene has changed drastically over the last 35 years and wants to show the people how to win back the power of the people," he wrote elsewhere.

...

Scalise, 59, praised the congressional investigators and FBI director Kash Patel for making the report possible.

"This report definitively shows the FBI completely mishandled the investigation into the Congressional baseball shooting of 2017 -- ignoring crucial and obvious facts in order to sell a false narrative that the shooting was not politically motivated," the majority leader said in a statement.
