Eerie new photos of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks minutes before shooting raise questions about assassination attempt

Eerie new photos of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks have raised more questions about the failed assassination attempt.

One of the images captures the 20-year-old Crooks perched on a wall in a grassy area on July 13 at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally - just moments before he opened fire.

In the picture, Crooks can be seen holding up his cell phone - as if chatting to someone on a call. Investigators have still not determined what Crooks' motive was or whether he was indeed acting alone.

The other picture captures the moment Crooks turns to look over his shoulder while sitting in the same position. It was unclear what prompted him to turn, or whether he was talking to someone behind him.

Two pictures of Crooks were released to Judicial Watch along with documents that detail the local law enforcement support leading up the rally.

The photos have raised questions and sparked theories relating to the attempted assassination.

Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper after opening fire at the rally and piercing former president Donald Trump in the ear. One rally-goer was killed in the shooting and two others injured.

There has been prior speculation that Crooks may have been communicating with someone else before he carried out the assassination attempt.

The FBI and SS declined requests for information about this matter citing the ongoing investigation... expected to conclude sometime after 2124.

Because it was never Crooks on the roof. He was working with Yearick. Crooks was kind of a decoy.

People in the area were watching Crooks and missed seeing Yearick.

maybe, who knows?

Who knows, maybe he was checking his favorite kink porn sites one last time to see if there were any updates.

The news is that Crooks was killed by Butler PD NOT SS.

top comments from the article:

He knew exactly what to do and which building would be unprotected. He went down there a week or more earlier too, didn’t he? He knew where to park, everything and he rolled right into a secure area, nobody did a thing.

Yep. This kid was not bright enough to work through this entire roadmap all on his own and somehow, he became known, and a patsy for the FBI.

We all know it was a planned coordinated event. The problem is that the perpetrators are investigating themselves.

This, and problems with President Trump and Vance’s planes, is setting off all kinds of alarms! At least in my mind.

Is that kinda like a grassy knoll?

Well, maybe "investigators" have not, but I think he was trying to kill Trump.

“Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper”

I thought it came out yesterday that it was a Butler SWAT sniper who actually took out Crooks. Guess we will never know since the FBI released the body for cremation without telling anyone but the family.

He is dead. You think who planned this would let him live?

“You know,what might clear up some of the confusion..”

We’ll never know in our lifetimes and maybe never - it does smack of the JFK assassination in some ways. I get the idea that it was a couple deep state commie bad guys (not necessarily gummit) types who behind the scenes recruited Crooks all the while knowing that the SS was totally incompetent and much of the FBI were cover-up experts anyway that would clean up the ‘history’ so these entities all worked together without ever communicating.

They were only two centimeters away from changing history.
