The Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted an article today about the FBI’s reclassification of the June 2017 shooting attack on Republican Congressmen playing baseball in Eugene Simpson Stadium Park near Washington, D.C. The shooting had been classified by the FBI as “suicide by cop.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

In June 2017, James Hodgkinson shot a number of Republicans who were at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park after asking GOP Rep. Jeff Duncan, who was leaving practice there, if the remaining players were Republicans or Democrats, signaling he was looking for a certain profile.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…According to the FBI, in an official report that was released on Friday, the brutal 2017 attack at the Alexandria, Virginia, baseball field that nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise has been classified as \u201cdomestic terrorism\u201d carried out by a \u201cdomestic violent extremist\u201d targeting Republicans after the bureau previously classified it as \u201csuicide by cop.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…In late April of 2021, a US House representative instructed a reluctant Christopher Wray to investigate the origins of that odd report.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Then the event was quietly updated to a domestic terrorist event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s revelation was buried deep in the middle of a long FBI release and reversed that decision that was made by Andrew McCabe in 2017.\u00a0 McCabe was apparently trying to soften the scrutiny of the motivation for the attempted murder of Republicans at the hand of a far-left radical activist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Washington Examiner reported on the matter, telling us where to find the information:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The revelation appears in the middle of an appendix on page 35 of a 40-page FBI-DHS report<\/a>\u00a0released on Friday titled \u201cSecurity Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism.\u201d In a section describing approximately 85 different \u201cFBI-Designated Significant Domestic Terrorism Incidents in the United States from 2015 through 2019,\u201d the Alexandria\u00a0baseball field shooting<\/a>\u00a0appears, with the FBI categorizing the perpetrator as a \u201cDomestic Violent Extremist\u201d and describing the incident thusly: \u201cAn individual with a personalized violent ideology targeted and shot Republican members of Congress at a baseball field and wounded five people. The subject died as a result of engagement with law enforcement.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting when the FBI does things like that and forgets to update the public.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I realize that most FBI agents are honest, hardworking people who love their country. However, it sounds as if we need to remove an awful lot of the top brass at the agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
