The bureau said the investigation into the attempted assassination of Trump is still ongoing and a motive is unclear.

Four photos released by the FBI on Wednesday:

Interesting! Not one mention or pictures of the White van with Arizona tags that explosives were found in less than a quarter of a mile from the AGR building.

lol, even when they’re screaming allah akbar the motive still isn’t clear. I wouldn’t hold my breath for a stated motive in this case.

Duh, the motive is that he wanted to kill Trump ya FBI BS morons.

Crooks didn’t have mixed ideologies either.

Hell, I don’t even think Trump was the shooter and the FBI probably made those explosive devices.

Anyone who believes the FBI is an idiot.

The FBi said there was no political motive in the Scalise shooting.

They’ve also said there’s no such thing as Antifa.

They said we would never know the motive of an Allah Akbar shooter that left a Mosque and drove to shoot up two Military recruiting stations.

They said the motive was unknown for the Waukesha, WI Christmas Parade attack by a man who posted he wanted to kill “white devils” on his social media.

+ Many more

Not one mention about any internet or social media activities of Crooks, why he had multiple encrypted foreign email accounts, why he chose the specific gun range used by the FBI, why they won’t release any records or documents related to the assassination attempt.

They quickly polluted this case with disinformation and false information.

A friend went on TV and said Crooks thought Trump supporters weren’t bright.

I’m not buying the thing about the venue. He spent all the money he had and gave up his life for this mission, but he wouldn’t drive 2-3 hrs to get his target?

The circus came to town so he attacked the circus? Simply Lies.

The “official” Investigation of Peter Strzok said he wasn’t Politically motivated?

Does anyone believe that?

There is no deep state.

So he can’t be groomed by them.

” why he chose the specific gun range used by the FBI”

And notice we have not heard a single word about that gun range...a fair bet all their ‘records’ mysteriously disappeared, names, dates, times, ammunition (if sold) and so forth. And this is just one aspect.

Search for the white van with AZ plates on Google (use Google) and you'll see this van has been memory holed by the Ministry of Information!

Looks like a chunk was shot out of the adjustable stock. Also appears to have a long barrel for higher velocity and an inexpensive red dot sight.

His worldview had to be hard leftist. No true conservstive would want to kill Trump.

A 20 year old dietary assistant at a nursing home probably doesn’t have a motive.

He’ll let his handler do the heavy thinking.

The FBI has a terrible habit of "accidentally destroying," and "misfiling" important documents when they pertain to any cases they are personally involved in, i.e., they have never found the original FD-302 interview form that Agent Joseph Pientka wrote out after he and Peter Strzok interviewed General Flynn at the White House. The less senior agent always fills out the paperwork. In fact, Strzok admitted that he rewrote Pientka's FD-302, which is something that normally never occurs. So the FD-302 that exists, is the one written by Strzok.

Didn’t the FBI Director, Fay Wray, say that he’s not even sure if Trump was hit by a bullet or a piece of podium?

That right there was an “in your face” move to Trump and proof he will not allow the subject and investigation to be taken seriously.

It’s not just FBI negligence and stupidity—it’s malice and malfeasance.
