FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino say that the case file against Thomas Matthew Crooks is CLOSED. There’s no more investigation into the man who shot President Trump in Butler, PA, last year.
And apparently, we’re not allowed to know anything that’s in the file. We should just trust them because they’ve “read the file!” Yet somehow, nearly a year later, CBS News has obtained Thomas Crooks’s emails. So, we’ve just learned more about Crooks that the FBI never uncovered in its investigation of a presidential assassination attempt.
Not that CBS News does a good job reporting on the information. Their title for the story is:
“Trump shooter Thomas Crooks’ emails reveal a student dreaming of a bright future. And contemplating a violent attack.”
Um… I think you got some information in the wrong order there, CBS.
It doesn’t get much better from there. CBS News goes on to report that back in January 2024, based on the emails, Crooks was polishing his transcripts so he could transfer from a community college to a four-year engineering program. He was asking friends to review his statement.
Crooks also got a 1530 on his SATs, although he struggled a bit with grammar and spelling. He liked to wax poetic about the fall, which was his favorite season of the year.
He wrote in one email, “Who doesn’t love the changing color of the leaves?”
Really, CBS News? I mean, really?!
Did he also like to pick wildflowers in a meadow and press them in a notebook and show them to his mom? What about puppies? Was he nice to puppies?!
After CBS News finished polishing Crooks’s image as much as they could, they got around to pointing out the fact that he had purchased “more than two gallons of nitromethane from an online specialty fuel retailer using an encrypted email account.”
Crooks ordered the chemicals from a company called Hyperfuels in mid-January last year. Twelve days after that purchase, the nitromethane still hadn’t been shipped. Nitromethane, according to reports, is some sort of bomb-making chemical. When compressed into a backpack bomb, it could kill everyone within about a 30-foot radius.
“Crooks used his community college email account to inquire about shipping, one of the few operational missteps that has allowed for a rare look into the dark side of this ambitious young student.”
For all of the effort that CBS News and their FBI buddies made in this outlandish story, they still screwed up in that sentence. Did you spot it?
Thomas Crooks made an “operational misstep” by using his community college email address, instead of using one of his encrypted email accounts.
The plot to assassinate President Trump was an “operation.”
That’s why it’s so frustrating when Patel and Bongino tell us that the case is closed. We all know that this was an operation from within the federal government to kill President Trump.
We didn’t want Patel and Bongino to arrive and just read the whitewashed reports on Jeffrey Epstein and the Trump attempted assassins. Those reports were prepared under former FBI Director Christopher Wray and other crooks in the federal government. We wanted them to open new investigations and tell us what really happened.
Why did Thomas Crooks take a random trip to Washington, DC, 13 months before he shot President Trump? He parked a block away from FBI Headquarters. After that trip, Crooks started going to the gun range every day to practice with his rifle. This was the same gun range where the Department of Homeland Security trains all its federal law enforcement agents.
Why was there no silverware in Crooks’s home when they got there to investigate? Was someone worried that they’d find former Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle’s fingerprints on a steak knife?
Why did Crooks appear in a Blackrock commercial? Who was the woman seated behind President Trump when the bullets started flying? Not only did she not duck like the rest of the crowd, but she whipped out her phone and started taking video of the assassination attempt, as if she knew ahead of time that it was going to happen. Why was that the only Trump rally in 2024 that CNN attended?
It’s nice to know that Thomas Crooks was a delicate, sensitive killer who liked fall weather and long walks on the beach. But could we get the truth about what really happened, please?
