Rep. Scalise on FBI Classifying 2017 GOP Baseball Team Practice Shooting as ‘Suicide by Cop’: ‘I Was Offended’

‘They suppressed factual evidence to reach a different conclusion’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

SCALISE: "So, if you go back to 2017, after the baseball shooting, the FBI had brought in the members of the team, Roger Williams was one of those members who was part of that briefing, and at that meeting they went through some of the information. Some of it was classified, some of it wasn’t, but they ultimately let us know what their conclusion was, and that’s when they said it was classified as suicide by cop. And I’ll tell you, I was offended, I think all of us there were highly offended that that was the conclusion that the FBI in 2017 came to, because it wasn’t what happened on the baseball field. He went there with the intention of killing all of us on the baseball field, and he had a list in his pocket of other Republicans he wanted to kill. It was very politically motivated and it was clear they suppressed a lot of facts. What the FBI report that Kash Patel's FBI came out with today shows, they suppressed factual evidence to reach a different conclusion than what the facts lead to show. Suicide by cop was not the conclusion. They ultimately changed it to domestic terrorism. And I applaud the new FBI for making that change in the justification.”
