FBI fires back at claims it released Crooks' body for cremation days after Trump assassination attempt
Fox News ^ | August 16, 2024 | Michael Dorgan

The FBI has fired back at claims by a GOP congressman that the agency released the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks for cremation just 10 days after his assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month.

The agency says it refutes allegations by Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., who says that when he requested to view Crooks' body on Aug. 5, nobody on the ground in Butler knew it had been handed back to the suspect's family on July 23. Higgins said the revelation "caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact."

Higgins is looking into the deadly July 13 incident as part of a bi-partisan congressional task force and made the claims in a stunning preliminary report which is highly critical of the FBI’s investigation into the matter. Higgins says the releasing of the body, and other claims of bad practice leveled at the FBI, amounts to an "obstruction to any following investigative effort."

An FBI spokesperson tells Fox News Digital that any suggestion the agency is interfering with congressional efforts to look into the attempted assassination "is inaccurate and unfounded."

"I am not a crook."

Oh, yeah. The FBI: “Everything is normal. Nothing to see here.” Good thing for that - I was beginning to believe my own lying eyes...

Disband the whole FBI. They kill so many investigations and can’t be trusted on anything.

The FBI says…

I don’t need to hear the rest of it. The FBI has ruined its reputation beyond repair. So my default position is that they are lying to us.

Yep. Why would ANYONE believe what the FIB says when THEY ARE THE ONES WHO OWNED THE SHIPPING CONTAINER where Crooks' bomb materials came from?

It is ludicrous that the assassin’s body was not preserved until ALL questions were answered in any case of a POTUS or ex-POTUS assassination attempt. Whoever made that decision should be immediately kicked out of law enforcement! It’s almost as if these non-elected people don;t want the truth to come out?

How about someone posting the entire article in excerpts on FR? I don’t want to give Fox a single click.

I understand, however, let's not do anything that would bring copyright difficulties for Jim Robinson.

Ah. So the FBI is whining even though they did exactly what Higgins said they did.

What a bunch a Kinzingers!

Crooks isn’t the shooter..I believe he’s alive..just look at how his family has reacted since this all happened..look at the behavior of the father, he was asked if he had any comment and he said “I have to pee” doesn’t sound like a father whose in mourning..after all the schmuck was his son..usually the families of mass shooters issue statements apologizing for their family members actions, nothing from the Crooks family

I don't know, Sarah, however, I certainly would like to find out.

I would like to interview and investigate every FIB employee and asset as necessary, ... at Gitmo.
