I always think of the traveler’s checque guy.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Really shady that we have heard nothing about this guy. The corruption is at its peak.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And even LESS about the DED-guy on the roof; Maxwell Yearick

[Texas Eagle]

Yikes! Some of those pre-assassination-attempt comments attributed to Crooks sound eerily similar to posts one can find on FR.

I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'.

[thinden]

And even LESS about the DED-guy on the roof; Maxwell Yearick

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

yup

[ckilmer]

they tracked the kid’s cell phone to fbi headquarters.

his parents were flaming liberals.

any posts he made that were crazy conservative would have been instructed by deep state operatives.

Of course the kid was a patsy. but we want to know who played him.

[flamberge]

There were two vehicles involved in assassination attempt. One of them contained improperly armed IEDs. The other was the one used by Crooks to travel to the location.

Crooks could not have driven both vehicles to the location.

"Lone gunman".

Sure thing. Nothing else to see here.

Maxwell Yearick was unavailable for comments.

5,100 words to say WHAT? Here's a Grok condensation / summary....BUT, is any of this credible?

Core Assertion of the Video The FBI has deliberately suppressed Thomas Crooks’ extensive digital footprint and true ideological history to control the narrative surrounding the July 13, 2024 attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

---

Crooks Was Not an “Online Ghost” FBI claimed virtually no digital presence. Reality:

• Dozens of accounts linked by his published phone number and primary Gmail (tmcrooks7@gmail.com)
• Major accounts recovered:
  • YouTube “Tom Crooks 2178” – 737 public comments (2019–2020)
  • Two foreign encrypted emails (americangamer@gmx.com, bcook@mailfence.com)
  • Discord, Snapchat, Venmo, PayPal (alias “Rod Swanson”)
  • chess.com, Quizlet, two Quora accounts, Google Drive, Google Play (“Colossal Microwave”)
• YouTube channel suspended July 14, 2024 (day after shooting) for “violent criminal organizations” policy violation

Ideological Evolution (2019 → 2020)

• 2019–early 2020 (far-right/pro-Trump phase)
  • Called Trump “the literal definition of patriotism”
  • Called for killing Ilhan Omar, “the Squad,” immigrants
  • “Every Trump-hating Democrat deserves to have their heads chopped off and put on stakes”
  • Advocated dictatorship, civil war, “50 million AR-15 owners” storming D.C.
  • “Cops can’t arrest me if they’re all dead”
• Early–mid 2020 (sharp leftward turn during COVID)
  • Mocked Trump supporters as a “cult,” called Trump “stupid” and supporters “racist”
  • Defended lockdowns and mail-in voting
  • August 2020: “the only way to fight the government is with terrorism-style attacks… sneak bombs… assassinate politicians”

Disturbing Search History

• 700+ Trump-related searches
• Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassin
• “best places for mass shooting,” El Paso, Orlando, Oklahoma bombing, Dallas police sniper
• How to make napalm, Molotov cocktails, fertilizer bombs
• Hitler speeches (subtitled), 1933–1945 German anthem, American Nazi Party, “why gays need to go”

The Mysterious “Willie Tepes”

• YouTube user who engaged Crooks in final commenting period
• Aggressively pushed armed uprising and quoted Mao
• Username later traced to foreign Antifa sites and the U.S.-designated terrorist Nordic Resistance Movement
• Crooks’ public commenting stops immediately after this interaction

Alleged FBI Obstruction & Cover-Up

• Authorized cremation of Crooks’ body only 10 days after shooting (before congressional investigators arrived)
• FBI agents personally power-washed the rooftop crime scene the next day (normally outsourced)
• Unlocked phone in under 40 minutes and accessed encrypted overseas accounts, yet shared almost nothing
• Still ignoring 2025 bipartisan Senate subpoena for photos, videos, device data, and search history
• Refuse to release gun-range training footage or confirm if Crooks trained alone
• Crooks flew drone 11 minutes over rally site while Secret Service counter-drone system was conveniently down
• Misrepresented Crooks to Congress as a “right-winger” using selective 2019 comments while hiding 2020 leftward radicalization

Political Reaction (2025)

• Even under second Trump administration, FBI leadership (including Kash Patel) continues stonewalling, claiming “nothing there”
• Eric Trump publicly states he is “totally unsatisfied” and believes a conspiracy tried to kill his father twice

Bottom-Line Claim Thomas Crooks left a massive, violent, ideologically schizophrenic trail that directly contradicts the FBI’s “lone right-wing nut” narrative. Federal authorities have systematically hidden, misrepresented, and in some cases destroyed evidence to keep the full story from the public and Congress.

It's exposes like this that are the reason there is so many smear tactics being used against Carlson and anyone that he's friends with.

I think he's wrong about Israel and Gaza but the claim that he's a Nazi, pro-Hitler or anti-Semitic are desperate smears by both Deep State and the Republican establishment.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: One of them contained improperly armed IEDs ::

This may be simply inflammatory journalism.

Yearick was associated with a family business that made/assembled fireworks displays.
Still not enough info released by GOVT to be sure.

The same people who whined about conservatives being canceled by big tech are more than willing to cancel people they disagree with.

[Texas Eagle]

Fascinating video.

I'd like to see Tucker do an extensive background check on the SS agent in charge who told her agents to allow Crooks to fire first.

[cgbg]

“Still not enough info released by GOVT to be sure.”

That is my big issue.

Our team in DC is playing “hide the ball” on this stuff...

[LastDayz]

Double yup.... suspect Crooks is still floating around out there somewhere.

[roving]

Bongino says there’s nothing there. That’s the moment I no longer trusted him.

[Red Badger]

Who is Thomas Crooks?

I’ll take Dead Dumbass Assassins for $500, Alex..........

[combat_boots]

He’s not Yearick

[dforest]

The real shooter who did not look like Crooks. That is why they had to clean that roof off so fast.
