Baseball field shooter James Hodgkinson left behind few clues as to his point, or motives for blasting gunfire onto an open field of highly ranking government officials.

Those clues, or the decided absence of them, leave the rest of the world to speculate that this was the work of a mentally unstable man, that had no real point other than to murder someone—anyone—-who loosely fit his broad band of grievances. Not exactly the model for a particularly effective political statement, but, hey, the medium is the message, it seems.

He did however, according to the Associated Press, visit the offices of a few lawmakers that he believed were more likewise more sympathetic to his particular concoction of crazy.

The Associated Press reported, “Hodgkinson also visited the office of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose campaign he had worked on as a volunteer, and was in email contact with the two Democratic senators from his home state.”

Those two Democratic Senators would be Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth. The Daily Caller attempted to contact Durbin’s office, and received the following response, “Mr. Hodgkinson contacted our office to state his opinion on a variety of legislation over the years. Those emails were all given to USCP and are part of the current investigation.”

Ben Marter, a spokesman for Senator Durbin, also confirmed to the Chicago Tribune that the e-mails existed, but likewise would not give them up.

“He contacted our office to state his opinion on a variety of issues over the years, twice during that timeframe (from late March to this week),” Marter said. ”Never in person just constituent emails.”

Reports state that there were 16 e-mails, over the course of 8 years. The reported communications were never to a particular staffer, but came through the contact page on the Senator’s website. Matter confirmed that the messages were simply sent to the Capitol Police for review.

What is in those e-mails?

In interview with the 21st Show last month, Durbin did discuss the content. He said they reviewed the e-mails before turning them over to the police, and said that there were no warning signs that he would resort to violence.

“Here’s a man for eight years who expresses himself to me in private emails and never once crosses a line where I would say, ‘Wait a minute, I want to take look at this man, I want to turn this over to somebody,’” Durbin said. “The fact that people are politically involved, and they may even be emotional about political involvement, does not in itself explain crossing that divide into violent and deadly conduct. Clearly, there’s more to the story as to why he camped out in Alexandria and waited for that moment.”

Durbin also said that the e-mails were highly detailed, and that there was no indication that given his background level or education, that he would have been informed enough to discuss those issues.

“My guess is now that I’ve read more about him is that he was repeating or forwarding emails from some other source,” Durbin said.

Hopkinson’s laptop and cell phone were also confiscated from the scene, and Capitol Police have not released any information as to the contents of these electronic devices, if they were erased, or if there had been telling e-mails.

Hodgkinson was a hardcore Bernie Sanders supporter who snuck into the GOP Congressional baseball practice field earlier this month. He asked if the players were Republicans or Democrats, and when informed they were in fact Republicans, proceed to open fire onto the field.

He seriously injured Majority Whip Steve Scalise, and a couple of other aides, but no one was killed. Capitol Police, along with Scalise’s security detail, quelled the disturbance rather quickly resulting in the shooter’s death after a ten minute round.

The entire incident was a wake up call throughout Congress on how bitter the partisan divisiveness appears to the American public. Although, once the Kumbaya moment subsided, Congress went back to their usual tricks, such as Democratic Chairman Phil Montag, who was caught on hidden tape, saying, “I’m glad he got shot. … I wish he was (expletive) dead…his whole job is to … convince Republicans to (expletive) kick people off (expletive) health care.” Montag later apologized and has been removed from his post.

Then, the issue was brought up that what saved the entire incident from being a massacre, was that Scalise, who ranked higher than the other politicians, had his own security detail. Now, Congress is trying to pass a bill stating that everyone should get security guards, and all sorts of high tech equipment, at the expense of about $15 million to the American taxpayer. Yep, government is back to normal.

Senator Duckworth’s office said they received no correspondence from Hodgkinson. There is currently no word when, or if, that correspondence will be released to the public.
