The FBI Changes Its Stance

For John, BLUF:  The idea that someone would travel from Belleville, IL to the Nation's Capitol for the purpose of invoking the police to shot him, seems a little off the wall.  There are plenty of police between the two locations.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

FBI admits GOP baseball shooting was domestic terrorism after previously deeming it 'suicide by cop'

From The Blaze, by Writer Breck Dumas, 14 May 2021.♠

Here is the lede plus two:

The FBI has "quietly" admitted that the 2017 shooting by a far-left radical who tried to murder several GOP members of Congress at a baseball field was, indeed, domestic terrorism, The Washington Examiner reported.

Last month, current FBI chief Christopher Wray was confronted by Republican lawmakers over the agency classifying the shooting as "suicide by cop" under a previous director.

The Examiner found in an FBI-DHS report released Friday detailing 85 "FBI-Designated Significant Domestic Terrorism Incidents in the United States from 2015 through 2019" classified the shooting at an Alexandria, Va., baseball field by a supporter of former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as "domestic violent extremism."

Catching up.

I am sad to say I am not shocked here.
