Steve Scalise, R-La., on Friday ripped the FBI for reportedly ruling that the incident was a form of "suicide by cop" and not politically motivated, with Scalise himself calling the agency's conclusion "disturbing."
Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, last week said during a House Intelligence Committee meeting with FBI Director Christopher Wray that agency officials told him and other legislators that the shooting, which occurred at a practice session for the congressional GOP baseball team, was the suspect’s way of committing "suicide by cop," and asked Wray to publicly declare the incident an act of terrorism. Wenstrup later sent the FBI a letter asking for a review.
After the FBI told aides and others in attendance that they had determined the attack was "suicide by cop," "We all said that’s not accurate," Matt Mika, a lobbyist for Tyson Foods who acts as a coach for the team and was wounded in the shooting, told Fox News.
He added that there was minimal police presence in the area, with then-House Majority Whip Scalise having a security detail that included plainclothes officers who were sitting in an unmarked vehicle at the time.
"He went there to kill Republicans, and he had a list of Republicans in his pocket," Scalise told Fox News this week. "He specifically asked if that was the Republican practice before he went back and got his guns and came out. He didn't know the security detail with me were cops, because they were plainclothes officers."

The damage Obama did to the Federal Bureaucracy through politicization was enormous. Biden is now continuing that politicization.
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page aren't anomalies, they are the predictable result of what you get when you've turned an agency into partisan left-wing club who sees their mission as protecting the Rat party.
Obama played the race game a lot. Holder is all the proof we need.
The FBI released documents sought related to the death of former Democrat National Committee voter expansion data director Seth Rich, and a lawyer says it shows no signs of what has been considered a robbery murder.
Among the findings in the 68 pages released of the 576 the FBI has denoted as related to Rich, a lawyer found it concerning it is unknown whether anything was deleted on Rich's personal laptop, The Epoch Times reported.
One page read, "given [redacted] it is conceivable that an individual or group would want to pay for his death," according to the report.
"That doesn't sound like a random street robbery," lawyer Ty Clevenger told the Times.
Also, the documents show nothing was stolen in what law enforcement has publicly considered a robbery attempt and suggest it is "conceivable" someone might have paid for Rich's death, according to the report.
The latter "shows that their whole narrative is falling apart," Clevenger told the Times. "It's a step in the right direction."
Much of the 68 pages released was redacted and there remains a large amount of pages sought via a Freedom of Information Act request, the Times reported.
I naively used to believe that this kind of corruption didn't exist in our government but when you see what has transpired since Obama's first term from the IRS harassing conservative groups to the State Department cover ups on behalf of Hillary and the DOJ/FBI role in spying on Trump our Federal Government is nothing more than an arm of the DNC.
