FBI concludes Trump's would-be assassin acted alone during rally shooting

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The FBI this week concluded its probe into the first assassination attempt against President Trump during a Pennsylvania campaign rally last year, finding that the deceased suspect acted alone and without motive.

FBI Director Kash Patel, in an interview with Fox News, said Trump was informed of the FBI’s conclusion to its investigation “as a victim of this case” and said the president was “satisfied with the results and where we left it.” The probe was a “Day One priority” for the agency, Patel added.

“We have reviewed this case over and over — looked into every nugget,” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told Fox News Digital. “We have spoken to the families, the president — there is no cover-up here. There is no motive for it, there is no reason for it.”

Thomas Matthew Crooks was identified as the suspect after Secret Service agents shot and killed the 20-year-old after the suspect opened fire from the roof of a building at the Butler, Pa., event in July 2024. One rallygoer died from a gunshot wound and a bullet grazed the president’s ear.

1. Well alrighty then

If Kash says so.

2. Too bad.

The NRA failed him, should have trained him to shoot accurately.

3. "concluded he acted alone and WITHOUT MOTIVE"...

Give me a damned break. Everyone has a motive for everything they do. Acted alone--probably so, but who the hell do they think they will convince that he had NO motive.

Release the interviews with friends& family, posts on social media, dark web, and elsewhere, then.

They are only giving lots of latitude for those who might wonder if the shooter was "set up" and then disposed of. Just sayin...

4. What I think happened might require a tinfoil hat

I can't shake the feeling that it was a 'staged' attack to help TSF win the Sympathy vote. They had to make it look convincing. I think the blood on the ear, etc. was faked and planned.

The problem with this is: A man /was/ killed, I think another injured. That makes it /seem/ real.

So here is my scenario (laugh at me if you will):

The killer on the roof, did shoot, but was not aiming at TSF. Purposely. TSF had a way to get blood on his ear and do the fist bump. All planned out.

So why would a young man do such a thing? I think he was programmed somehow, and triggered to do this. CIA? Mossad? Now I'm over my head and out of my league.

I just can''t shake the feeling that it was somehow staged to help TSF win. Maybe I do have TSF syndrome and just hate that motherfucker so much it is fogging my brain and critical thinking.

I have thick skin, so go ahead and tell me how crazy that sounds.

6. Well, I am not telling you it is crazy. I alluded to the fact that an absence of expected information at the end of an

investigation leaves it wide open to such speculation. And especially given how quickly Trump exploited the situation with the media and throughout the campaign. Of course, Trump is seemingly reflexive in such techniques so who knows...

8. It was a strange incident, difficult to find sense in it.

I wondered at the time if it was a crime within a crime. In other words, Trump's injury was collateral damage to some other objective of the shooter. Small town grudge, that sort of thing.

But who knows. Are they being transparent?

10. Requires Healthy Skepticism, Not a Tinfoil Hat

I believe that this and other attacks (2nd guy in the bushes at the golf course, Epstein, Ivana, Kirk, possibly ‘suicided’ Epstein victim,…) were all staged. Don’t know how, can speculate why, but there are no coincidences in this administration. These are people who think nothing of blowing up fishing boats for no reason and assaulting/kidnapping innocent people off the streets. One day, if sanity prevails, we’ll know the truth.

7. If someone points a gun at anything or anyone, we know the motive

mo·tive
/ˈmōdiv/
noun
1.
a reason for doing something, especially one that is hidden or not obvious.

Guns have no purpose other than shooting. That’s what it does.

[Silent Type]

9. Investigators should have just said it was another incel -- with access to guns -- looking for fame.

My guess is he would have climbed on roof had it been Biden or someone similar.

5. A Trump toady?

Saying Thomas Crooks 'acted alone'? As in, can't pin it on a liberal?

Riiight.

[tavernier]

12. Oh, you mean the guy who shot his ear off

that magically healed? The guy who killed the other man whose name nobody knows or cares about?
