Whoa, this is a little unexpected and catches Suspicious Cat a little off-guard. FBI Director Chris Wray actually answers some detailed questions about the attempted assassination of President Trump and the ongoing investigation.
Beware of voices who are saying we should not be paying attention. I am providing some segments below so we can all catch up. WATCH:
“8 Cartridges” – “No other suspects”
.
Jim Jordan gets specific in the next segment:
Drone Recovery in vehicle, with controller – Flight of the drone took place between 3:50 to 4:00pm around the area, approximately 200 yards from the stage – Approximately 11 minutes of drone flight, with livestream – Three explosive devices in both the vehicle (two) and residence (one) – There were receivers with devices and the suspect had the transmitter – Receivers were not turned on, they were in the “off position” – Encrypted platforms relate to social media networks on suspects phone, Signal, Telegram, encrypted messaging apps.

F**king Congress breaks to take votes !!….. Grrr….
Just a little FYI.. There IS a method to obtain TOUCH DNA off of those spent shell casings.. If Crook’s DNA is on them, it can put to rest some of the conspiracy theories about several shooters, or whether he actually fired the weapon at all.
If none of his DNA is discovered, that is going to raise some VERY interesting questions, to say the least.
https://x.com/annvandersteel/status/1816189525552730432
Good observation! I agree but if they needed additional shell casings to match they would have had access to Crook’s body and could put his fingers on the cartridges before autopsy? That way the FBI could shoot Crook’s rifle to get additional shells to get to 8 matching? Thereby covering up the other shooter(s)! The FBI excels at domestic entrapment and falsifying crime scenes!!! JMO
On second thought there were probably some cartridges in the magazine Crook’s loaded with his touch DNA already on them that he didn’t get off before being shot. The FBI could have just shot Crooks AR15 to get to the magical 8 matching shell casings on the roof!
Assuming the perpe-TRAITORS are telling the Truth about his DNA being found on any of them at all.
FB LIE… remember? They are the mop-up crew, remember?
You believe his guy to be honest. Just as they identified the “shooter” via DNA. There are no spent casings from his rifle. The whole Crooks narrative is amateurish, poorly crafted, and has already been proven false… by good US citizens. Congress is useless. The FBI is useless. PA State police are useless.
(Complicit is more likely than useless.)
Weren’t they at the father’s house within a couple of hours, but pretended they didn’t have an ID until the next day?
I want to know how they could ID Crooks from DNA, when it is highly unlikely that his DNA would be in any data base. Moreover, that statement was made before anyone could have tested his DNA.
Possible that there is a DNA data base, maybe taken at birth or taken while being given vaccinations?
Or maybe identifying Crooks via DNA was a cover story and he was identified via the serial number on the rifle being traced to his Dad, via a Federal data base that we aren’t supposed to have?
Or maybe he was a patsy with an FBI handler and they knew who he was all the time.
He was identified really quickly…
Or maybe all of the above…
I wonder how soon after the event they cremated the body just to tidy things up.
Uh.. they have his corpse. They don’t need a “database”.
The key is to match all of the bullets, whether fired or not, to his DNA.
It would just confirm that he loaded his own magazine, as well as firing all of those shots, and removing any doubt about the casings having been planted.
Right now, I think Chris Martenson may be correct in revising his multi-shooter scenario based on the audio. It appears Crooks had offset sights on his rifle and if the rifle was canted 90 degs verticle with the ejection port pointed upwards, they would impact the report signature of the rifle if the last 5 shots were fired from the actual weapon’s sights.
But none of this explains the criminal negligence of the USSS, and local law enforcement. And heck of a lot questions remain to be answered.
Thanks!
There are so many people suspicious it wasn’t him; also some people believe it wasn’t a human but rather a hollyweird dummy strewn with blood on the roof.
WHEN and WHERE is the funeral?
Who’s is the officiating rabbi?
Where are Tommy Crooks’ parents?
Where are his brother and sister?
AND, if he is alive, Where the hell is he?
He’s supposed to attend Robert Morris College in a couple months and finish his Bachelor of Science degree in engineering.
Should PDJT call in a special forces rescue team to locate and rescue this youngster???
Has he been USED by the evil cabal?
So many questions, so few answers!
“There are so many people suspicious it wasn’t him; also some people believe it wasn’t a human but rather a hollyweird dummy strewn with blood on the roof.”
???
There’s video of him crawling on the roof.
I’m sure someone would have spotted someone placing a dummy on the roof after the fact.
sheesh 🙄🤦
DNA is easily “transferred” and doesn’t prove anything about handling characteristics
Getting a straight answer in any evidential details will be the challenge for those interested. I do not expect the FBI to shoot straight (no pun intended) with any information related to the public. After this much time has elapsed one has to suspect a coverup aprocess is ongoing and they’re formulating a plausible narrative that roughly comports with the evidence, observations, and data.
“Roughly comports.”
Where’s Adrian Monk when we need him…
We will never know.
Was Crooks continuing to fire his weapon until he was shot or was there a pause in his shooting?
If he was still shooting when the sniper shot him, how did the gun get so far from the body?
The first people on the roof removed the rifle from his hand. There is an image of them doing that.
thus polluting crime scene
I think it is standard practice to remove a weapon from a perp.
Even when the perp is obviously dead with blood strewn here and there?
Yes.
Okay.
Interesting, they don’t do that in the First 48….they leave the crime scene as is…..the only corrupting in that show that happens is when the EMT’s are still trying to save the life of an individual.
But it is tv….however, not once where the gun is still in the hand have I seen them remove it. They mark it with one of those yellow number things, and take pictures first.
Its also standard for a ‘perp’ – and for perpe-TRAITORS – to manufacture evidence before AND after their crimes.
Exactly, law enforcement is taught not to touch a crime scene; I believe it was the Feds doing the polluting. The question is, Why? If he was shot in the head, he would have a death grip on the gun. I’m not an expert but I have watched well over 100 episodes of Forensic Files as well as the First 48; every death involving a direct shot to the head results in the dead person having a literal death grip on what they were holding- they have term for it. I don’t recall the term. But one episode involving a woman being shot in the head, while eating M&Ms come to mind. They found the killer because of the type of bullet as well as the fact she was in the processing of dumping M&M’s from the package into her mouth….she was still holding onto the bag of M&M’s even though the .44 pretty much blew her head off.
Rigor mortis?
Rigor mortis is not immediate. I don’t remember how long before it sets in, an hour or more.
And that great image of the fbi hosing off the roof. Some CSI team, eh?
I guess their investigation was finished?
I noticed that the day of. Why would you immediately hose off a crime scene?Also, even though I have read the explanation, I still feel there would have been some brain matter & more blood splatter. It appeared staged and like a cover-up.
share that please.
Where is that image?
That will be interesting to find out when the sequence of shots is pinned down. The sniper blew his head off, an instant CNS kill. I found an un-blurred photo on an India news site, his head doesn’t appear to be in one piece anymore.
Did Crooks continue blowing off rounds due to involuntary twitching after he was unalived? The first several shots are measured, then a flurry of rapid gunfire. One of the shots in the flurry is certainly the counter sniper killing Crooks. The first shot was carefully aimed, the others are wild. Was he spraying the crowd for a mass shooting to cap off the assassination?
Inquiring minds want to know.
many squirrels
Have we learned anything more about this guy’s politics? The MSM are bending over backwards to paint him as pro-trump. But only one person “Max Smith” has said this, while others said he didn’t talk about this, and at least one person said he was anti-Trump to a point of hostility. And there still aren’t any recent photos that I’ve seen.
There IS a photo of him taken at the rally. He is standing by a low concrete wall and taken from a back angle.
The impression I get is, like so many of these guys, his primary motive was personal infamy. He’s apparently an anarchist who hated not only President Trump but most politicians. He would have been just as glad to cap Biden or a member of the Royal Family.
Or so the IC and MSM would have us believe …
He donated to ActBlue….that’s all you need to know….no conservative, moderate or otherwise donates to ActBlue.
Reported as a registered Republican. Probably to cast a vote in the primary for Haley, as lots of Dems did.
Lots of people unknowingly donate to ActBlue. They use names of individuals to break up large donations into smaller “legal” amounts. They just did this with Kamala. Most of these people never know they made a donation because they are not actually paying the money.
Hi There
No doubt fellow Treepers spot the obvious – on display with Wray N Cheetos last few days:
Deployment of “umm” “uhhh” “well….” to drag down interest and burn clock time. provide vague non-answers…..with preface and preambles.
Panel members too many, let em get away with it. i’d cut in and tell to cut it out.
i took online course Convey Clearly. Not about articulation. Not at all. Deploy “breath groups”. Quick pauses to breathe in. Linking and intonation. Not difficult. just takes time and commitment.
Tell me Wray in another venue is stricken with ummmm and uh…..every 5 seconds?
He actually kinda lost the ummms while talking about what he obviously considers safe and complete items in the narrative – the drone and detonator details.
Makes me agree that obviously he can speak quickly and clearly when he wants.
Also makes me doubt everything said about those specific details – because if they consider a particular narrative complete, it probably means a tissue of lies tied up with a pretty bow.
Kam-a-la will select a VP candidate that is dumber than she is, if that’s possible.
Kam-a-la will undergo a third round of aversive therapy to try and suppress her crazy woman cackle.
Kam-a-la is working to get Joe Biden to resign before the convention.
I think the Beaver is going to chose Buttihead as her VP.
WAYNE ROOT: The Choice of Kamala Makes No Sense. It’s a Terrible Mistake. But Democrats Have Something Up Their Sleeve. Something Very Evil and Shocking is Coming.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/wayne-rootthe-choice-kamala-makes-no-sense-its/
It’s called illegal aliens voting!
LOL check out this Dem “influencer” pitching Buttigieg. I hope she does, it’s tantamount to the Dems conceding the election as unwinnable.
Like a baseball manager down by 20 runs deciding not to waste the bullpen and putting the first baseman on the mound. “Field of Dreams” indeed.
Worse, yes. “Dumber”? Probably not.
Bush/Cheney example.
The puppets don’t select… the puppet-masters do.
Kam-a-la is only doing what she’s told; nothing more nothing less. She’s always ‘assumed a position’. IYKWIM, for m0ney & another position; check the history.
Apparently, there is more video from the rooftop showing the first officers on scene:
https://abcnews.go.com/news/video/new-video-trump-assassination-attempt-112223853?cid=social_twitter_abcn
It’s in the middle of this video.
This clears up the bullet casings as they are counting them as they see them on the roof.
OMG!!! Load the video. Pay very close attention at 17 seconds to 21 seconds.
Give us a hint. 17-21 seconds is in the newroom with a reporter speaking.
Yes. Listen carefully.
“…the frantic seconds in the moments after the government tried to kill former President Trump…”
Unbelievable. He just blurts it out.
He Said: “gunman”. Listen again if you need to.
I wouldn’t say this video clears it up. It doesn’t show the moments before when they placed 4 extra shell casings on the roof to go with Crook’s 4. Other videos show that they were also making too big a deal of counting the shell casings (something they wouldn’t do otherwise) to be believable.
Right on cue!
They probably altered the audio with the part where he is convenietly counting out exactly & super quickly 8 supposed casings. Almost like they were in a perfect pile in one little spot nearby. Just right there, like none rolled away or off the slopey roof etc…??
But they forgot one major detail… he was found halfway back down the roof, like he was trying to flee when shot.
We’ve seen countless images showing this, along with the blood trail. Weird those casings moved with him from the original spot he supposedly shit from! 😂
❌ Nope, Not buying it!
*shot!
My apologies!!
They were not in a pile… they were spread out. You can see some of them if you look carefully.
Several people on CTH said the gun had no scope.
That appears to be false. The ABC video posted shows a long scope, not an EOtech, on the rifle.
What the Hell would IRAN have to do with Blackrock’s CEO, Larry Fink????
Huh?
Tommy Crooks was seen walking with Larry Fink in
a video posted all over the place.
Ayatollah Larry???
Come off it !
NO way ……
https://nitter.poast.org/TheLastRefuge2/status/1816136601593909467#m
Say…….
WHERE are close friends of Tommy’s parents?
Have any close family friends been located and interviewed?
What about aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents?
Has IRAN offered sanctuary to the entire Crooks extended family?
Who owns the nursing where he worked in the dietary department?
…..CORRECTION……
His father Matthew has spoken publicly. Here’s a link to the NY Post article:
https://nypost.com/2024/07/23/us-news/trump-shooter-thomas-matthew-crooks-father-speaks-out-for-first-time-after-son-tried-to-assassinate-former-president/
So are we’re to believe we can get accurate straight answers from people who testified negatively of Trump in the Mueller Russia hoax investigation using completely “made up information” and his agents were not held responsible. He also claims no FBI involvement in Jan 6 craziness! Again, we’re supposed to believe we’ll get straight answers from this guy, I don’t see it.
Still awaiting the bomb(s) info.
What were they made out of?
He really had one in his home, ready to go?
How tf did this kid get all this together?
I think the bombs tangent is something that is unexplainable and contradictory
compared to the sniper story.
Why bombs? Why release that info?
Personally, it would be way easier to run my own
ass plot, solo, and just drink a bunch of whiskey and go for it,
than build bombs and plant them in a vehicle and my parents house,
and then go for it.
This doesn’t make sense.
That kid was not THAT smart.
Hell, he went for it when people all around were screaming gun.
Was he the ballsiest 20 yr old ever?
We know little about Tommy Crooks. He was very intelligent, he excelled academically, particularly in mathematics. Hed recently completed the two first years of an engineering degree.
Some people wonder if was prescribed psychoactive medication like other mass shooters frequently were.
He was featured prominently in a Blackrock video; he apparently had Larry Fink’s personal attention.
Possibly he was groomed to become part of the IC… and little Tommy Crooks had to die a philosophical death (per Manly P Hall) to go on to an under-cover future with the IC. They need intelligent minions; they have been grooming minions for decades.
The only photos we get of ‘Crooks’ are of his young self… doesn’t match the age of the man shot on the roof, and another name for that man has been given, that of a career criminal.
*Nothing* they tell us is True; all is cover-up now. Are his “parents” crisis actors too?
They are supposedly mental
ill-health pros.I just don’t believe we’re being told Truth about *anything* that is relevant.
The actual parents’ and their actual histories would be relevant… so, all falsified to further deflection.
The dead man in photo is Yearick, not Crooks!
That is why the young Crooks photo.
C’mon now, we have a 20 year old kid that graduated high school a couple years earlier. Was such a bad shot that his high school rifle team didn’t want him. He was so sophisticated that the best of our government is in knots trying to make ends meet! He had remote controlled bombs. Wow, when I was 20 years old, I was just beginning to get into the meat and potatoes of intelligence. This kid has our FBI ans Secret Service unsure of themselves! This kid was just a supposed dish washer at an old folks home making something like $16 an hour? Looks like he’s rocket scientist material! I pride myself in connect dots, but this web they weave has me baffled! I’m leaning more and more into an inside job! This will rank up there with the JFK incident in Dallas. We still don’t know that one.
Remote controlled bombs on his bicycle or car which was it…
As I said elsewhere too many different stories coming out by the experts.
in the car, which was in the van …
… which apparently contained the bicycle.
and the backpack
…that concealed the 5′ ladder and his rifle.
Not true. The school released a statement saying he was never in the shooting group. Secondly he went regularly to a gun range with his father. His father said they thought he went to the gun range the morning of the rally and never came home. The father alerted police.
Maybe the authorities are still holding his body?
And that same gun range was used by different Federal government agencies to train.
Kind of convenient?
Well… his school released a statement:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/trump-shooters-school-releases-statement-claiming-they-have/
“…The statement continued, “Thomas Crooks was never a member of the school’s rifle team, and we have no record of him trying out. The coach does not recall meeting him.”….”
Wray is being unusually forthcoming which is 1000% suspicious.
I would argue is lying… eg no way Crooks squeezed off 8 rounds. I still contend he didn’t get off one round.
Fox News just played a newly-released video showing agents climbing up on Crook’s roof after the shooting
They’re milling around on the roof and one of them counts out loud the number of cartridges “one two … eight”
Did any of the willfully inept congress-critters think to ask what the accuracy of the rifle AND the actual ammo used (from the same box) is at the EXACT distance Crooks was to PDJT?
Not that Crooks actually took a shot.
dunno, Samanna
I just came her to report the video, so that people can keep an eye out for it
I’m fully confident they’ve had more than enough time to doctor any video from the day with voice-over (counting) & CGI (shell casings) to “answer” the questions they’ve been gathering from the general population they’ve been perfidiously spying on since then by now;
Perpe-TRAITORS cobbling the “official story” aka massive cover-up.
A smudge of Truth (people were shot, wounded, & murdered during an attempted assassination of the majority-people’s-choice next POTUS of the USA) mixed with copious & abundant fabrications, paltering, and outright lies.
The Truth always does come out.
“The arc of the Moral universe is long, but it bends toward Justice.”
The feds maybe innocent this time.
The locals abandoned TWO crucial posts. One post was on the roof and the other one was in the room with the open window overlooking the roof.
The locals almost got trump killed.
Plus the cop that climbed up to the roof and fell off. He could have been a country-wide hero but he wasn’t. All he had to do is shoot at the roof to alert the snipers.
And alert the SS agents in Trump’s personal detail… at the first gunshot, they would have swarmed him.
The officer might have been killed by CS team, but he would have saved the President’s life. And if he had assumed a surrender position after shooting the gun, he probably would not have been shot.
Desperate times….
Nice try. The usurper-occupied US gov’t. is never “innocent” in FF/public trauma events… nor are the occupying usurpers “not guilty” of various & sundry crimes against Humanity over the past century+.
They had a view of the roof from the window! Why leave the building to climb up to roof?
Hmm, they found two remote controlled explosive devices in his vehicle, and a control transmitter on his person. Did they …ah … maybe find the two dozen OTHER explosive devices that the perp may have seeded around the fairgrounds for later use as a distraction during his exfil, as he was freely walking about without question or interruption before the rally and Trump’s speech began? Put another way, if a guy has two viable remote controlled bombs in his car, what makes one think that those bombs were the only ones, that the perp was not successful placing munitions in areas around the fairgrounds? Why would he have them otherwise, if not for that purpose, assuming of course that he actually intended to assassinate President Trump, and prevent his apprehension (or death) by authorities?
Sorry. Wray could have given all this info with a series of press statements and a press conferences, and allowed Congress to digest that and the Secret Service subpoena information, BEFORE Wray testified. Thus the onion could have been peeled further beyond the superficial. I think Wray succeeded in throwing Congress off the mark by actually responding to questioning.
But notice how he used as much clock with zero-information statements. For example: “I would say that the predicate for the crime was for three things. The first thing that I would say was the predicate for the crime was FOO. The second thing that I would say was the predicate for the crime was BAR. The third thing, and I would say that given all the predicates for the crime, this is the most important predicate for the crime, was FUBAR.”
He could have just said: “We determined the predicates of the crime as Foo, bar, and fubar.” But he used up 5 times more time with the above soliloquy.
This is the Washington Slow-Drip that I despise so much.
Why they don’t get EVERYBODY in the room at the same time, for cross-questioning and to allow for a fuller explanation of what happened with each facet of this event… is a mystery. We NEVER see en-banc testimony anymore. It’s very rare.
And for a situation of this MAGNITUDE, Congresspeople should be given more than 5 minutes to develop a line of questioning. The House rules are designed to obscure the truth.
He could not have given the information he shared sooner… because it took over a week to harvest from social media the questions the people were asking and cobble together the “official story” around those questions;
to give the appearance that 1) an investigation was being done during that silent time and 2) the “official story” answers & satisfies the people’s questioning… so it would stop.
Ham-fisted cover-up, imo.
Dan Bongino said that every one of the meager number of questions “answered” at this point simply opens up another hundred questions.
“Ham-fisted” literally means ‘poorly done’.
Have the Comms of the USSS and other leo agencies been recovered, or were they permanently “wiped with a cloth or something”?
It’s part of the Congressional subpoena, but Cheetos said that they didn’t record radio traffic that day. Text and email should be available.
Unless they were doing another data migration and erased all the data, like they did on J6.
The Cheetos police is full of shit.
TRUTH President Trump
I watched the Congressional Hearing today as Christopher Wray was asked the question whether or not he noticed any Cognitive Degeneration in his many conversations with Crooked Joe Biden and, despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Hur said, effectively, that Joe Biden is INCOMPETENT, with LITTLE MEMORY, etc., Wray said that “it is not something I observed during my interactions with him, which were uneventful and unremarkable,” essentially stating that he found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with “Joe.” If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop “sweet talking” Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI – Unless, that is, you want to illegally lead the Raid on Mar-a-Lago. Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS
JULY 24 2024
Trump calls on Wray to resign
Crooks is necessary to keep the national psyche from instantly going on auto pilot to: “It was an inside job… Joe Biden, blah blah blah.”.
He’s the shiny thing. The squirrel, the patsy, the sucker all rolled into one.
Bike or car? C’mon folks, why not both? Cars can have bike carriers, or even a bike inside with one wheel off.
Why? perhaps the car was limited in the access to the site in a way a bicycle may not have been?
I read it was a van, not a car. Bike could easily been taken there in that van.
What was the religion of Thomas Crooks, it doesn’t appear to come up in my searches?
President Trump survived, AND the crowd did a most uncharachteristic thing.
And, because he survived nearly unscathed, we did not go postal on them, creating CW2, and negating any need to explain what happened, and because the crowd did not panic, and stampede there was no chaos they could exploit.
It was a desperate, already anticipated play, and it was unsuccesful.
At this point, it is certain PDJT is seeing to his security, and if he decides to restrict to inside venues for the rest of the campaign, I am fine with that.
Watching the dumpster fire that is the DNC, floundering now that the GOP wing can’t help them, is satisfying I must say.
The Dems need to pull a rabbit out of a hat in Chicago, they have no hat, no rabbit and their assistant that is supposed to distract the audience (GOP) is unavailable to perform.
FINALLY
A paternal response to the failed assassination attempt.
His father Matthew has spoken publicly. Here’s a link to the NY Post article:
https://nypost.com/2024/07/23/us-news/trump-shooter-thomas-matthew-crooks-father-speaks-out-for-first-time-after-son-tried-to-assassinate-former-president/
That article goes nowhere. It was a forced enounter at a grocery store by a reporter. No information at all except the father looks overweight and buys a lot of groceries.
This mop-up man is so well known by now for throwing a bone to cause misdirection…. don’t buy the lies. Obfuscate is this guy’s middle name…
1. Shooter shown in his honors economics class in a film by Blackrock.
2. Building the shooter used is owned by Blackrock and managed by former executives of Pfizer.
3. Someone here said that the Google Streetview images around that building were updated recently (confirmed Nov 2023)
4. Shooter used a freaking drone prior to the shooting; SS didn’t.
5. Shooter had a rangefinder and was known to be carrying one during the event.
6. Phone videos of him show him very suspiciously lurking around in the distance all by himself.
7. It was only police, not SS who finally climbed up to see the shooter on the roof.
8. It is claimed that the PD sniper team set up on the second floor of the shooter’s building. The shooter’s building doesn’t have a second floor, and the only other building in the complex with a 2nd floor facing the rally area is right behind the shooters building with a view of the roof the shooter was on. The sniper team wasn’t in one of those windows facing the rally? They didn’t man the roof because it was too hot.
9. Higher priority assets FLOTUS and VP events with vastly smaller crowds held INDOORS one hour away at the same time, giving the convenient excuse (and some reality) of hogged assets.
10. Two heroic motorcycle cops seen aiding wounded spectators in the grandstand were transferred after the event because it is claimed they were supposed to be helping with the FLOTUS event, adding credibility to the hogged assets theory.
11. Trump wasn’t even told there was a threat and held from the stage as he should have been.
12. This was his last outdoor rally before he officially became a nominee and was provided with more security.
13. Two highly significant diversionary news topics about one week after Trump attempt:
CrowdStrike worldwide IT outage caused by “Oops, bad code.” Coincidentally happened on Trump day of the convention.
LONG planned replacement of Biden.
OCTOBER 4, 2020
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT: How The DNC Hired CrowdStrike to Frame Russia for the Hack
https://thenationalpulse.com/archive-post/exclusive-excerpt-how-the-dnc-hired-crowdstrike-to-frame-russia-for-the-hack/
The DNC retained a company that called itself “CrowdStrike” to provide assistance. CrowdStrike’s chief technology officer and co-founder, Dmitri Alperovitch, is an anti-Putin, Russian expat and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. With the Atlantic Council in 2016, all roads led to Ukraine.
As I recall it, that outage began the morning of Friday, 7-19. The day after the convention and acceptance speech. (Not saying Crowdstrike is a victim though.)
a 60-day investigation, no less
I believe nothing that the FBI claims. It’s disgusting that the job of our “premier” law enforcement agency is to deflect, deceive and cover up the truth.
Sleight of tongue by Mr. Wray!!!
8 CARTRIDGES recovered. “A cartridge, also known as a round, is a type of pre-assembled firearm ammunition packaging a projectile (bullet, shot, or slug), a propellant substance (smokeless powder, black powder substitute, or black powder) and an ignition device (primer) within a metallic, paper, or plastic case …” per Wikipedia.
Spent CASINGS (aka brass) should have been lying on the ROOF if Crooks had fired rounds.
Mr. Wray is too intelligent & articulate to mistakenly use cartridge when spent casing is correct. 8 cartridges may have been recovered from the rifle’s magazine. If Crooks fired 8x, 8 spent casings would have been entered into evidence–plus ALL cartridges remaining in the magazine.
so what’s the game Wray is playing, and why?
“so what’s the game Wray is playing, and why?”
Same game being played everywhere by those in power:
Muddy the waters.
Some suggest the {plandemic + genetic manipulation shots} biowarfare is a prime example, with even “scientific” research being muddied in addition to Mockingbird muddying.
If you watch the badge cam video, the police count out eight spent cartridge casings on the roof immediately after the shooting. Director Wray wasn’t telling Congress anything that wasn’t already known, including from the Pennsylvania State police colonel testimony the previous day
Big Pharma will never allow the exposure of what drugs Crooks was taking. State of mind, age and specific psychotropics can create monster.
Please don’t assume the perpe-TRAITORS have told you the Truth of who shot/wounded/killed people on J13.
Proven liars have told you “Crooks did it”… but is that True?
Wray says “no accomplices” – that’s not very plausible
Why would Crooks’ home be sanitized except to remove evidence of whomever it was that repeatedly visited Crooks’ home from D.C.?
Shades of Warren Commission. “Oswald acted alone – no accomplices.”
Except in this case Crooks had a number of accomplices: Cheatle and Mayorkas to name two major ones.
Wray admitting that there was at least one FBI personnel who expressed disappointment the assassination attempt failed, but he did not say that person was fired:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/wow-wray-admits-two-fbi-officials-expressed-disappointment/
Perhaps Wray has been seeing citizen sleuths, who are doing a much better job of tracking the movements of the shooter than his FBI. Geo-location data is now accessible to private citizens, and we ain’t stupid!

Josh Hawley interview on Fox News
“There was supposed to be someone stationed on that roof, but he came down “because it was too hot”
“Then, the perimeter of the building was supposed to be patrolled, but they came inside instead “because it was too hot“
I knew that sooner or later climate change would worm its way into the attempted assassination story.
8 cartridges found on the roof…which roof? were all cartridges of the same caliber and weight? were all cartridges matched with crooks gun? lots of furtive answers
Wray mentioned that they thought he was “live streaming” the drone footage. Here’s one theory, sample n=1.
I believe Wray was using a term he’s not familiar with. Said they recovered nothing from the drone itself other than route information. Could be nothing there, but could be because Crooks never put a separate little SD card in it for onboard storage. Most consumer-grade drones have the ability to also have their images get straight-cached to the display of the controller, which is usually a smartphone. Either dedicated, or the user’s regular phone. They have previously said they recovered TWO phones from Crooks. In fact one was on the roof. It may not solve anything but, in the interest of diligence, they should take a look at both phones as one possibly having the output from the drone separate from its route information. Just a thought.
Chris Wray was there for one and only one thing: to continue the “lone gunman” narrative. We know that two men were shot by the same bullet — they are still in hospital. From the video a simple line can be drawn between those two points and extended outward to show the position of another shooter. This has already been done and that line does NOT point to the guy on the roof of the AGR building. There was another shooter. Wray doesn’t want anyone to promote that theory or his carefully contructed series of lies and coverups will fall apart. I can tell you that researchers are not going to let this one go, despite the assertions of the two-digit-IQ MSM. The CIA has been killing people for decades and their “lone gunman” theory aint going to hold up this time.
This reminds me that the person most disappointed that the assassination attempt failed is Robert DeNiro.
It sounds to me the IC intends to scare Trump into… well, not having outdoor rallies is one example. Probably they’re asking him to cut it down to a minimum. If possible stay off the air, and no tweets cause those cause harm too.
It remains to be seen how Trump turns this 180 to his own advantage cause I can see at least one approach here.
I’d still want Trump to get his own security…
FBI director casts doubt on whether Trump was struck by bullet during assassination attempt at rally
Christopher Wray was updating Congress about the assassination attempt on Pres Trump at Butler on Wednesday when he made the explosive statement.
‘With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,’ Wray said.

I shudder to think what Satan is doing to Crooks now that he has his hooks in him.
Local cops refusing to share info with FBI as agency suffers ‘crisis of confidence’ with DEI hires, damning whistleblower report reveals
As FBI director Chris Wray performed his usual smarmy stonewalling in Congress Wednesday, a damning report on his $10 billion agency’s “cult of narcissism” was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee.
As FBI director Chris Wray performed his usual smarmy stonewalling in Congress Wednesday, a damning report on his $10 billion agency’s “cult of narcissism” was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by an alliance of retired and active-duty agents and analysts.
The same group gave us the scathing DEI report last year about the FBI’s degraded recruitment standards and cosseting of physically unfit, mentally ill, drug-taking or generally useless agents to satisfy diversity requirements at the expense of merit and experience.
This time they have assessed the entire bureau and drawn several worrying conclusions, including that local law-enforcement partners have developed a “disturbing loss of trust in the FBI” and are subsequently reluctant to share information, with alarming consequences for national security and public safety.
“Police officers and sheriff’s deputies on patrol and detectives investigating illegal activity in their jurisdictions have unparalleled visibility into street-level crime. . . . When this information is not immediately shared with the FBI, the FBI is left to address complex, evolving threats facing the United States with an unacceptably vast and debilitating ‘blind spot’ because [it] does not have enough personnel and resources to see into every corner of the country.”
Loss of trust
While Wray testified that the FBI is facing a “complex threat environment” that is unprecedented in his experience, the loss of trust in the bureau on his watch only exacerbates the risks, which include terrorist suspects flooding over the southern border.
Republican members of Congress questioning Wray reflected a widespread distrust of the FBI’s investigation of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

Republican members of Congress questioning Wray reflected a widespread distrust of the FBI’s investigation of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
The whistleblower report draws on testimony from more than 30 “independent, highly credible law-enforcement sources and sub-sources” across the country who “do not trust the FBI because they believe the FBI in recent years has been operating as a partisan federal agency motivated by a political agenda.
“They are not only reluctant to work with the FBI but reportedly have decided to no longer share actionable, substantive information on criminal and other intelligence-related activity with the FBI.”
Most concerning is what the alliance of whistleblowers call a “crisis of confidence” in FBI-led task forces where relationships with local cops have deteriorated to the point of “imploding” in some cases because of “poor management and ineffective leadership by the FBI.”
Local cops said their precipitous decline in trust for the FBI was triggered by its excessive response to the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, followed by the raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
One source, a 25-year veteran sergeant in the Major Crimes Division of a large police force in a Western state, said “he/she cannot understand why the FBI is not going after [far-left militant group] Antifa, BLM and pro-Palestinian rioters with the same vigor the FBI brought to bear against” J6 participants.
Another source, a 15-year veteran cop from a Southern state, said many local law-enforcement officers “believe they could be targeted by the FBI and the DOJ because of their love for the United States of America and may be perceived as domestic terrorists because of how they may vote.”

sorry, made a mess of double-posting
should be one comment and one reply with a 2nd part
“…local law-enforcement partners have developed a “disturbing loss of trust in the FBI” and are subsequently reluctant to share information, with alarming consequences for national security and public safety”, related to DEI outcomes?
This may mirror a wholesale loss of trust in all institutions related to DEI outcomes, with alarming consequences for everything.
If there was a program to degrade the US, this would seem to be a likely component.
Did he provide an official sequence of events of all the shots fired, how many total shots were fired, by who and evidence to support it?
can somebody explain why any of this should be revealed right now? Everybody shut up and give them time to do it, however long it takes, reasonably, but days in let’s reveal all our investigative information is stupid. You ask Bill Bar to make declarations days in, he’s gunna. We are whiny brats
Anyone wondering about the white van? The one they towed and that had explosives in it. That had Arizona tags. And…according to the body cam footage from the roof from an officer that is speaking…there was someone in the van and he asked if they were deceased. They also speak of the water tower…..in which there is some video of a person on it at this time while Trump is speaking moving around. Note the location of the water tower. It appears to be fairly in line with the sloped roof Crooks was killed on. And…who is Mathew Yearick? This name first came up right after the shooting. Interestingly………he was arrested at a Trump Rally in PA back in 2016.
Who is the guy in the grey suit asking the questions and seemingly attempting to put together a narrative?
I think we know exactly what’s going on here! We have seen this movie before…but with a different ending!
Trump was setup to be murdered, plain and simple. Nation will never heal until a day of reckoning.
For any of these nimrods spouting off about “shrapnel” (a chip from the teleprompter), this challenge:
“Show us the damaged teleprompter … you know, the one with the chip out of it …”
(inside clue: watch the videos of the shooting, that teleprompter is visible in frame and unmolested THE ENTIRE TIME)
FBI director questions whether Trump was struck by bullet as ex-prez’s team decries ‘conspiracy bulls–t’
“With respect to former president Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a hearing Wednesday.
There is a photograph with the visible bullet. It was captured with unusual camera settings as if the photographer knew what and when to look for. Why is Wray still spouting this ridiculous meme.
