(Jae C. Hong\/AP)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Normally, we expect the corrupt FBI to cover up for a left-wing sacred cow like Alec Baldwin. My guess is that if the FBI could have covered up for Baldwin, \u00a0it would have. Such a cover-up would benefit Democrats in two ways: 1) protect their pal Baldwin, and 2) make the <em>eeeevil <\/em>gun that mysteriously shoots itself the villain.<\/p>\n<p>But even an FBI as corrupt as this one has to draw a line somewhere. As much as the feds might have wanted to protect the left\u2019s precious Alec, claiming a gun fired itself is a bridge too far.<\/p>\n<p>This FBI report also confirms Breitbart\u2019s analysis. At the time, we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/12\/02\/nolte-sheriff-to-alec-baldwin-guns-dont-just-go-off\/\">detailed<\/a> the lack of credibility in Baldwin\u2019s claim that he did not pull the trigger\u2014which is only credible if you are dealing with a faulty and broken gun that can only fire by snapping back the hammer.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that nothing in the FBI report disputes another possibility: that Baldwin drew the gun, depressed the trigger during the draw, and kept it depressed. With some single-action revolvers, it is possible that if you keep the trigger depressed, you can fire the weapon by pulling back the hammer, which allows the hammer to snap forward and fire the bullet.<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin did admit to Stephanopoulos that he cocked the gun while pointing it at the doomed Hutchins.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI cock the gun, and I go, \u2018Can you see that? Can you see that? Can you see that?\u2019 And I let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off,\u201d Baldwin told\u00a0Stephanopoulos. \u201cThe trigger wasn\u2019t pulled. I didn\u2019t pull the trigger,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible he had the trigger depressed the entire time, and when he let go of the hammer, it snapped forward and fired the fatal bullet.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, he still pulled the trigger but might not have been conscious of the fact he had.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing else makes sense.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe gun used in the fatal shooting on the Rust movie set could not have been fired without pulling the trigger,\u00a0\u201d\u00a0far-left ABC News\u00a0reported, summarizing an FBI forensic report.
