A new report has revealed that the investigators assigned to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump have been tasked with taking all the various bits and pieces of information about deceased shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks and fitting them together to find a motive for his actions, have now found a startling piece of evidence on his phone.
Most of these guys usually have some sort of manifesto stashed somewhere that explains why they’re carrying out the heinous act they’ve been planning, but so far, at least as of this writing, one for Crooks is yet to be discovered. Detectives and federal agents have been working tirelessly to try and make it all make sense, but so far, there’s not been a whole lot to go on.
Here’s more from Trending Politics:
Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old recent high school graduate who fired an AR-15 rifle at the former president from a nearby rooftop before being shot and killed, may have planned to target President Joe Biden instead or in addition. That’s the message suggested by photos of both men found in Crooks’ phone after it was unlocked earlier this week as part of the FBI’s investigation, the Washington Post reported. Lawmakers were briefed on the contents of the phone, according to sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Strangely, images of other high-profile figures were also saved in the phone’s camera roll, including U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and a member of the British Royal Family, though who it may have been is unclear. Searches performed on the phone show Crooks seeking out information about major depressive disorder and Saturday’s Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Hours before he disappeared, Crooks’ parents alerted law enforcement and may have reported the father’s AR-15 rifle being stolen, and neighbors who spoke with Fox News retold a chilling story about seeing Crooks lurking about in his yard.
The Post then reported that the shooter might have been doing some recon on the site of the rally up to six days before the event took place. He also showed up to the rally long before its start time, which is what drew the suspicion of security. However, as we all know now, this suspicion was not acted upon.
Local police also managed to snap a few photos of Crooks crawling on the ground with a rangefinder as he began scouting a location to carry out his murderous plot. This behavior was reported to headquarters, but, again, nothing was done about it.
FBI agents used technology from Cellebrite, a popular private-sector company well-known among law enforcement organizations for assistance in hacking into the phones of terrorist suspects after major security incidents
Senator Josh Hawley(R-MO) on Friday publicly condemned U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after a whistleblower came forward claiming that DHS backfilled President Trump’s security detail with guards who were not trained Secret Service agents. Kimberly Cheatle, the embattled Secret Service director, has been similarly hounded by Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn(R-TN) over her vague answers about why the rooftop Crooks positioned himself on remained unguarded.
“He had a range finder and a backpack,” Sen. John Barrasso, a Wyoming Democrat, stated during the hearing on Wednesday, as he too, made a call for Cheatle to step down as director of the Secret Service.
Despite the shooter’s parents cooperating with the investigation, those looking into the matter are nowhere close to ascertaining why Crooks attempted to kill Trump. Voter information has the young man listed as a Republican, however, his mother is a registered Democrat and his dad is libertarian. On top of that, Republican activists in the area say they have never dropped a Trump sign off at the family’s home.
Crooks’ former classmates have described him as a “Trump hater,” but noted he wasn’t really a big fan of either political party. On the day of the shooting, the 20-year-old posted on a gamer message board saying that the day would “be my premiere” to the world.
It was also his curtain call.
So we know Crooks hated Trump. Why he hated him is likely due to the misinformation that has been spread by the mainstream media for the last eight years. Trump represents a massive threat to the work they’ve been doing to transform the country into a socialistic train wreck. They have to defeat him at all costs. Because they have to defeat us at all costs.
Thus, they spent almost a decade dehumanizing him by calling him evil, vile, a Nazi, racist, sexist, and all sorts of awful things until the unstable folks on the left plunged into madness.
And what is the end result of this strategy?
Thomas Matthew Crooks.
