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

He did too much research to set "politically motivated" aside.

He was a smart techy kid who got good at something......

More likely than not...there is someone who pulled his strings...and that was most likely...his parents.

The government investigated themselves and found themselves innocent. Case closed.

Did they also announce that the Sloppy Service wasn’t politically motivated to leave open a clear line of fire that someone who played Call of Duty for five minutes would have seen?

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation is a joke to the U.S. and the rest of the Free Thinking World.

Of course evidence of a substantial financial incentive promised by the FBI/USSS will never materialize but that could also have been a motivation.

Even though we’ve read the quotes of him attacking an Hispanic student with anti Trump rhetoric.

The fact is they are willing to identify Christians as right wing extremists, but they sure as hell have been ordered not to admit that a Biden supporter shot Trump.

And they’ve done this cover up in multiple cases.

What the FBI means is “The problem with a victim so universally detested and justifiably hated as Trump, who is literally Hitler, is that we can’t find a specific reason that set the hero off.” Who could argue with that without risking a prison sentence?

For the American Stasi to say this on the eve of a General Election, combined with continuing censorship, INFORMS me there are dark days ahead of us.

Very dark days.

Oh, good God.

What a bunch of arrogant a-holes.

I guess he just didn’t like Trump’s hair or skin color. Or maybe he was aiming for a teleprompter.
