The 20-year-old who, six months later, would open fire at President Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally — striking his ear and killing an audience member — was busy polishing his applications to transfer from community college to a four-year engineering program.
Crooks was gathering transcripts and asking friends to review his personal statement.
He was also designing a bomb.
Oh. Yeah, kind of an important fact to throw into the mix.
Apparently, Crooks had placed an order for “more than two gallons of nitromethane from an online speciality fuel retailer using an encrypted email account.”
“Twelve days later Crooks’ purchase hadn’t shipped and he wanted to know why,” they reported.
So, he emailed the seller, Hyperfuels, to ask when it would arrive on Jan. 31, 2024.
“Hello, my name is Thomas. I placed an order on your website on January 19. I have not received any updates of the order shipping out yet and I was wondering if you still have it and when I can expect it to come,” he asked.
“Crooks used his community college email account to inquire about shipping, one of the few operational missteps that has allowed for a rare look into the dark side of this ambitious young student,” CBS reported.
Hyperfuels had been asked about the purchase last year and said merely that it was “aware of the whole situation.” It did not comment further for the piece.
..... Snip......
We here at The Western Journal did a little bit of Grok AI research into what could be accomplished with that. If he were to use it to make a backpack-sized bomb, say, it would have a lethal radius of up to roughly 30 feet.
However, let’s say

That Dan and Kash denial was enough to convince anyone of a government conspiracy.
Thomas Crooks was getting money, materiel, and technical support from and through, Nazi Ukraine.
What was his accomplice/handler/fellow patsy Maxwell Yearick ordering? Or was he supplying? Asking since Blondi/Kash/Bongino seem to be disinterested.
Was he ON THEIR RADAR ?
Maybe he was an internal combustion engine powered radio control car or plane aficionado... Those things run faster on nitromethane.
Hey... Its a possibility.....
I think I see the dude’s mishap right away: should have went with ammonium nitrate. Grow some sweet corn anyway.
He was getting help from someone, that’s for sure.
Clearly he was planning a nitro dragster for Sunday Sunday SUNDAY! +
They are always on the radar.

John Force style!
Heads up
What a nice profile. He was “ambitious,” you see. Too bad a round to head kept him from continuing his ambitious goals

Good question! This is Maxwell Yearick families business.
Yearick Armory.

What Entire Building?
Read the article.
2 gallons of nitro in a Fueller or Funny Car will get you about 60-75 yards! That’s why I went with the RC ‘theory.
:-)
Heh, do they still do that “Sunday, Sunday, Sunday” thing on commercials for the drags? I haven’t heard it for years, and was just by coincidence thinking about it day before yesterday.
It made as much sense as flying monkeys out of their nether regions.
A purchase of 400 pounds of ammonium nitrate would set off alarms all over.
More dots that connect Yearick being the DED mook on the roof.
If Crooks was tasked with blowing up a building, why not manipulate the story and use him at another time.
Two birds...one stone.
Yearick would have given up Crooks and the handler.
DED man had gauged ear lobes.
Photos show it.
