FBI Says: Butler shooter’s motive unclear, but he definitely wasn’t politically motivated
American Thinker ^ | 08/29/2024 | Olivia Murray

New and emerging photos and details from the near-assassination of President Donald Trump don’t really make any sense, until you accept that the FBI is hopelessly corrupt; I’ve said this before and I’ll continue to say it, but the bureau is operating completely outside the authority delegated to the federal government by the Constitution, and the only lawful remedy is its complete abolition.

Here’s the story, from an article by Glenn Thrush, published by The New York Times yesterday:

Investigators — who performed an exhaustive search of his devices and online accounts — do not believe that Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin who was killed by a Secret Service sniper, was motivated by a specific political ideology. They have found no evidence that he had any co-conspirators or connections to a foreign plot, F.B.I. officials said during a call with reporters on Wednesday.

While Mr. Crooks’s motive remains opaque, his online searches reveal someone who was looking for an opportunity to pull off a spectacular attack that would garner widespread attention, by either inflicting mass casualties or killing someone famous. Thus far, that profile more closely resembles that of a mass shooter than a politically motivated assassin.

So, after an “exhaustive” search through Crooks’s entire life, the “elite” investigative law enforcement agency doesn’t really have a clear motive, but they know he definitely wasn’t motivated by a “specific political ideology.” That explanation only makes sense if you’re blind and can’t see the facts, or if you’re deliberately ignoring what direction they’re pointing.

The political environment is poisoned, saturated in “Trump is literally Hitler” rhetoric, that those not voting Democrat are the “greatest threat” to “democracy” and America, conservatives are violent “insurrectionists” bound together by their racist and bigoted sentiments, and yada, yada, yada—with an attempt to take out the very figurehead

Just the fact that it was Trump makes it politically motivated. Now add on 10 other reasons....ego, expertise, 15 minutes,

Did Crooks have a crush on Jodie Foster?

Probably not. She’s old enough to have been his grandmother.

Let THAT sink in a moment.

If he did, he’s outta luck. She’s not interested in males.

The same FBI standards of investigation that it followed in Dallas, Atlanta, 9/11, and during the DC beltway attacks...

All they need to do is fake it until the memory hole has swallowed everything up...

The American peasantry claps their hands and giggles mindlessly...

His motivations will remain the locus of speculation.

Well that settles it then. Who wouldn’t trust the FIBers?

I wouldn’t trust anyone at the fbi to tell me what color the sky is. Every damned one of them is a corrupt criminal. Every single one. There is no “good rank and file” member. Fire them all, disband the organization, and burn the building to ash. Then micturate on the ashes.

Not unless he was an old, hagged-out, dyke.

Coming from the politically motivated FBI, this guarantees that it was politically motivated.

There were a few FBIdiots on a news report claiming they did a great job and they couldn’t stop the (their) assassin because it is an open carry state. I wish I could find that interview. It was on the Dan Bongino show a day or two after the feds tried to murder Trump.

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate has members in the FBI and the Secret Service.

When the FBI presumes to show us Crooks' gear--the backpack, for example--they implicitly lie and show us something that is not Crooks' actual backpack, but a brand new, of the shelf facsimile of what they say was his backpack.

On Crooks' actual backpack (at left, below), note that he had attached some kind of clamp, or plastic whatever on the mid-right side. We want and deserve to know what that was about. But no, the FBI treats us like children.

If that was to modify the backpack so his AR-15 would fit better--for example--WeThePeople deserve to know that. We're not satisfied with the FBI mucking with evidence, as we've already seen elsewhere, for example, power-washing blood and brain matter from the crime scene before 24 hours had passed.

Agreed.

The one who picks the target was politically motivated.

My original post made it clear Crooks didn’t pick.

20 year old dietary assistants at nursing homes don’t plan and navigate a “near perfect” kill shot and get off eight shots while in the scope of counter snipers.

Crooks was a tool.

A disposable tool.

“FBI Says: Butler shooter’s motive unclear, but he definitely wasn’t politically motivated”

Translation: he was definitely a Trumo hater out to assassinate him.

We are past the point where we get something like:

“FBI reports the assailant threw molotov cocktails at the synagogue during a high holiday obersvance and was shouting Allahu Akhbar. The man then shot congregants as they exitied the burning synagogue. The man then proceded to detonate a suicide vest.

Fbi has done a thourough investigation and it could not be certain that the synagogue was the intended target. Or that anti-semitism was a motive in any way.”
