The FBI are in charge of the investigation of Thomas Matthew Crooks; that does not inspire any confidence. However, it does explain the seemingly controlled leaking of information to the various media sources in order to keep the eyes of the public exactly where the investigators want them.
In every article and investigative detail that is leaked to media, remember the origination source of that information is coming from the FBI. Top men.
The latest information to leak out includes revelations the FBI is going through 2 cell phones, a laptop and some USB drives belonging to Thomas Crooks. From the same sourcing they are saying that Crooks conducted online surveillance of several public officials for several months [NY Post Article].
In addition, the Wall Street Journal is sharing that Crooks flew a drone over the venue of the Trump rally earlier in the day in order to scope out the best place for attack.
SUMMARY – In addition to bringing explosives, a detonator, a ladder, a range finder, a backpack and an AR15 rifle to the rally, while finding a way to sit atop the counter-sniper position, the 20-year-old without a social media footprint apparently had air superiority.
(Via Wall St Journal) […] The gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there, law-enforcement officials briefed on the matter said, further underscoring the stunning security lapses ahead of Trump’s near assassination.
Seemingly lost amid all of the discussion of Senators John Barrasso and Marsha Blackburn confronting U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle at the RNC convention last night, is the obvious question, why was Cheatle even there?
Did she meet with President Trump and offer an apology for what the USSS is positioning as a gross collapse of simple security procedures; or was Director Cheatle simply trying to save her position. We don’t find out answers to the baseline question because the politics of the event are the paramount prism for the Barrasso and the Blackburn promotion of their confrontation. I loathe all of them.
Here is the video of the incident which ends with the insufferable Barrasso and Blackburn politicking. In a video posted on social media Wednesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) confronted Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle over the assassination attempt on former President Trump. WATCH:
.
Why these insufferable dolts just cannot start with the first and obvious question, is very annoying.
I’m having trouble believing the constructed narrative around President Trump’s attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks.
First, I’m not talking about the ridiculously sketchy events that day. I’m also not talking about the hours, days and weeks leading up to the shooting and the background of what he would be doing in those timeframes. I’m talking about the actual personage of Thomas Mattew Crooks, the description of him, his identity, who he is.
According to what little data footprint is available and shared by media, Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20, DOB: 09-20-2003, had no social media presence. Let that sink in for a moment. A 20-year-old in 2024 with no social media presence.
No TikTok, WhatsAp, Telegram, SnapChat, Insta, Twit, FB, gaming profile or Apple ID to correspond with his almost guaranteed iPhone, XBox or Playstation? Sorry, not even close to plausible.
Second, it’s Deja-vu all over again with the picture (seen above left) that is widely being used by media in stories about Matthew Crooks. The above image is his freshman high school picture. [SEE HERE] There are no recent or current pictures of 20-year-old Crooks taken by friends, family, or in this era, selfies? And the picture on the left is the best image the media can come up with?
Compare that picture above to the screen grab of Thomas Matthew Crooks taken during the shooting.
The most recent photograph of him is something from High School, with a flag T-Shirt? Seriously?
This, optical narrative control has serious Trayvon Martin vibes to it.
[PENNSYLANIA] – BUTLER, Pa. — Channel 11 news uncovered dramatic new details Monday in the moments leading up to the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. According to multiple law enforcement sources, Thomas Crooks was spotted by law enforcement on a roof nearly 30 minutes before shots were fired that injured Trump, killed a former fire chief, and injured two others in the crowd.
Channel 11′s Nicole Ford confirmed that Beaver County’s ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to Ford’s sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person. We have learned from our sources the person in that picture is Thomas Crooks. We’re told it’s not clear if Crooks had a gun with him at that point.
According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5:45 p.m. Our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point but did not see him where the first picture was taken.

New details about the assassination attempt on President Trump are coming fast.
Earlier this morning former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino gave his opinion about the Secret Service almost unfathomable drop in security protocol that allowed a gunman with a rifle to climb atop a building a mere 130 yards away from President Trump. Having some very specific insight into protection detail protocol, Bongino gives a unique perspective on what might have gone wrong. {Direct Rumble Link}
Making matters worse, the FBI are in charge of the investigation. The FBI has suffered irreversible credibility collapse, and many believe there is no worse agency to investigate the events than a highly politicized and weaponized Federal Bureau of Investigation, with a long and non-debatable history of corruption.
Obviously, accepting the lack of public trust in both the FBI and Secret Service, there is mounting speculation as to whether the assassination effort was the result of a series of grossly incompetent mistakes, or was perhaps a willfully blind -and intentional- failure of security.
Adding fuel to the fire of intentional security failures, the AP is now reporting that a police officer saw the gunman before the shots were fired, and the police officer retreated allowing time for the shooter to fire 5 shots toward his target – wounding President Trump and two other attendees, killing another.
(VIA AP) – […] Not long before shots rang out, rallygoers noticed a man climbing to the roof of a nearby building and warned local police, according to two law enforcement officials.
One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him, said the officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

According to the New York Post, the assassin who tried to kill President Donald J Trump was Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20 from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
The FBI Pittsburg field office is in charge of the investigation. However, as with all high-profile domestic terror attacks, shootings and killings that directly impact the “peace and tranquility” we can expect the DOJ-CRS to take over the information pipeline.
The FBI is officially calling the shooting an “attempted assassination attempt. The motive is undetermined.
(New York Post) – The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.
Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh. Sources said Crooks was was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds. (read more)
President Trump released the following statement via Truth Social:

As things in Washington DC unfold, it is easy to lose sight of the forest due to the trees. A few obvious big picture items:
♦ First, why is Volodymyr Zelenskyy attending a NATO summit? Ukraine is not a part of NATO.
♦ Second, do not overlook the big picture.
While a NATO summit is happening in DC, Joe Biden is under the most intense political attack in his tenure, from his own administration. This does not happen without the approval of the deepest elements within the Deep State apparatus, the Intelligence Community.
There is no way the entirety of the system, which in this case is specifically the U.S. State Department and Intelligence Community, would normally be launching a full-frontal assault on the office of the presidency while international leaders are here.
This just isn’t done and represents a historic inflection point. So, we must ask what’s the background, motive and intent?
The obvious answer is that removing Joe Biden is seen as the best option for the DoS/IC. This perspective highlights the non-pretending reality that these institutions regard the November election as lost if Joe Biden remains their candidate.
The IC and Dept of State cannot have Donald Trump take control of their operation, especially since the recent Supreme Court ruling that affirmed a majority opinion using strong language consistent with the Unitary Executive theory of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court said, the President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.” [pdf, page 38] In essence, the president *IS* the Executive Branch, and all of the other various bureaucratic agents and agencies within it are under his unilateral “official act” control.
By now everyone knows the national role of James Clyburn. The South Carolina representative is in charge of regional, key-state, ballot counting in 2024 as he was in 2020. {GO DEEP} This makes James Clyburn a very important Democrat leader to pay attention to.
At the conclusion of today’s meeting of Democrat representatives, James Clyburn five times assured the DNC is, “Ridin’ With Biden.” WATCH:
.
Clyburn is focused on ballot counting operations within Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Virginia and Nevada. As we follow the AME network, there appear to be approximately 12 cities and municipal regions (key urban areas) where Clyburn’s personnel within specific voting precincts will receive ballots from DNC harvesting operations and lead the ballot counting initiatives.
