- π― Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate President Trump on July 13th, 2024, at the Butler County, Pennsylvania fairgrounds.
- β³ It has been 489 days since the shooting, and limited information has been released by the FBI, leading to public distrust.
- π₯ Crooks was killed by Secret Service immediately after firing shots at Trump.
Tucker Carlson's Documentary and Digital Footprint
- π Tucker Carlson released a documentary, "In Plain Sight: Attempted Assassin Thomas Matthew Krooks," exposing details about Crooks's digital life.
- π» The documentary reveals videos from Crooks's Google Drive account, showing a digital trail of violent threats and political violence from 2019-2020.
- β οΈ These posts included calls for assassinations and violence, contradicting the narrative of a lone, unmotivated actor.
Shifting Political Views and FBI's Narrative
- π Crooks's online activity shows a clear shift in views, initially being a radical Trump supporter before 2020.
- π£οΈ Post-2020, his rhetoric turned against Trump and the right-wing, with comments like "The deep state is simply made up of anybody who disagrees with the right-wing."
- π€₯ The FBI is accused of lying by presenting Crooks solely as a right-winger, ignoring this significant shift in his ideology.
Questions Regarding FBI and YouTube's Role
- β How did Crooks post hundreds of violent extremist comments under his real name for years without detection by law enforcement or intelligence agencies?
- π« Were these comments, including specific assassination threats, ever reported to YouTube or escalated for moderation review, and if so, what was the outcome?
- π΅οΈ Was Crooks ever flagged to the FBI or DHS as a potential threat, and if not, why not?
- π€« Why has Congress not been informed about this activity, especially given the FBI's access to his data?
Concerns About Withheld Information
- π There are suspicions that federal agencies possess more information about Crooks's communications, potentially on encrypted platforms or alias accounts, which may be withheld.
- ποΈ President Trump reportedly requested full transparency on his assassination attempt, but this has not been provided, leading to a "trust us, bro" mentality from agencies.
- π’ The public deserves answers regarding the investigation into the assassination attempt, especially given the discrepancies and lack of transparency from the FBI.
