So far, I don't think there has been evidence that the lab has been compromised, but if Baldwin is ever held accountable, the defense will be able to have that conclusion tested in an independent lab.

We don't trust the leadership of the FBI when it comes to political cases involving Trump. I don't think anyone thinks every FBI field agent is corrupt.
In this case common sense will tell you that a revolver can't go off without pulling the trigger or hitting the hammer hard enough to drive the firing pin into the shell.

To me, the FBI are like any other police force, you will have some good and some bad. The problem really arises when the leadership is bad.

Now that law enforcement has confirmed what every nearly everyone who has handled a revolver before already knew, that the pistol did not fire itself and that Baldwin had to have pulled the trigger, how has the staunch gun control advocate responded? The way any hardcore leftist would. He's pointing the finger at Trump.
Unable to figure a way to blame Trump for the gun firing and killing Halyna Hutchins, Baldwin has had to settle for declaring that Trump supporters are trying to kill him.
Yup.
He says he is worried about "potential violence carried out against him by followers of Donald Trump."
Yup.
He elaborated
Here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence, and he was pointing the finger at me and saying I was responsible for the death. 1000% percent I am nervous that a bunch of people who were instructed by the former president to go to the Capitol, who killed a law enforcement officer … you don’t think, that I think to myself, that some of those people are going to come and kill me.
Yup.

Yes, it was an accident but it was preventable at any point along the way from the idiot who put live rounds in the gun, to the idiot who didn't check it before giving it to Baldwin, to the idiot who pulled the trigger before checking the gun himself, and who allowed them to have live rounds on the set in the first place. That last idiot is Baldwin.

Not if you wanted to believe in your ability to sit down for the rest of the day.
