An FBI employee is accused of posting a disgusting message expressing regret that Donald Trump was not assassinated on Saturday.
Jenna Howell, who reportedly works in the FBI’s Identity Investigations Division, posted an image of the grim reaper attempting to retrieve a Trump doll from a claw machine, according to The Federalist.
The caption read: ‘Awww, so close.’
Howell tagged a friend and added, “The memes… the memes are gold.
The FBI official also shared a meme criticizing those who denounced political violence.
The meme read: “You gun-toting, 2nd Amendment-loving country bumpkins better just sit down and shut up unless you change your mind about gun control.
Former FBI analyst Chris Toompas told The Federalist that he worked with Howell at the FBI and that she was formerly part of the NICS Firearms Background Check Unit.
Howell appears to have deleted her social media accounts.
DailyMail.com has contacted the Ministry of Justice for comment on this story.
Following the failed assassination attempt on Trump, Jack Black is also being accused of bad taste after his bandmate made a joke about the shooting on stage.

The actor’s comedy band Tenacious D took the stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Black brought a birthday cake for bandmate Kyle Gass and asked him to make a wish.
Gass, 64, responded: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
On Monday, detectives were searching for clues as to what motivated Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, to carry out the shocking attack.
The FBI said it was investigating it as a possible act of domestic terrorism, but the lack of a clear ideological motive in the man shot dead by the Secret Service has led to many conspiracy theories.
According to the FBI, Crooks, who had bomb-making materials in the car he drove to the meeting, acted alone.
Investigators found no threatening social media comments or ideological views that could explain why he targeted Trump.

Trump said on social media that the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting.
But advisers said he was “in great spirits” ahead of his arrival Sunday in Milwaukee for the Republican Party convention.
Two bystanders were seriously injured and a former area fire chief, Corey Comperatore, was killed.
Pennsylvania’s governor said Comperatore, 50, died a hero protecting his family.
