- π― The FBI claimed Thomas Crooks, the individual who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, had no significant online footprint.
- π‘ Tucker Carlson's team, however, uncovered a vast digital presence for Crooks, contradicting the FBI's statements.
- π This discrepancy raises serious questions about the FBI's transparency and thoroughness in investigating the assassination attempt.
Crooks' Extensive Online Activity
- π§ By using Crooks' phone number, obtained from public records, Tucker's source accessed his primary Gmail account, linking to over a dozen other online accounts.
- π These accounts included foreign encrypted emails, Snapchat, Venmo, PayPal (under an alias), Zelle, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, chess.com, and deactivated Quora accounts.
- β οΈ The FBI's assertion that Crooks was an "online ghost" is directly refuted by this extensive digital trail.
Shifting Political Views and Violent Rhetoric
- π Crooks' deactivated YouTube account revealed a dramatic shift in his political commentary, moving from pro-Trump to anti-Trump stances.
- π£οΈ Initially, he posted violent pro-Trump comments, advocating for the killing of political opponents like Ilhan Omar and members of "the squad."
- π By January 2020, his comments turned increasingly anti-Trump, mocking the president and his supporters, and even adopting rhetoric critical of the right-wing's response to COVID-19.
Allegations of FBI Cover-Up and Obstruction
- π£ By August 2020, Crooks began advocating for violence against the Trump government, suggesting terrorism-style attacks and assassinations.
- β The FBI's silence and apparent withholding of information, even after the assassination attempt and Crooks' death, suggest a potential cover-up.
- π« Furthermore, the FBI released Crooks' body for cremation shortly after the incident, hindering further forensic investigation, and controversially hosed down the crime scene themselves.
The Mysterious 'Willie Tepus' and Unanswered Questions
- π€ A user named Willie Tepus emerged, seemingly encouraging Crooks towards violence, with connections to foreign Antifa websites and the Nordic Resistance Movement.
- π The FBI has not publicly addressed Tepus's role, despite his apparent influence on Crooks' actions.
- β The lack of transparency from the FBI regarding these details fuels speculation and distrust, leaving many questions about the investigation and the true motivations behind the assassination attempt unanswered.
