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

Posted on 08/29/2024 9:10:01 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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

They must not have talked with the classmate who says the shooter hated Trump.

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

Blame the parents.

Very Freudian.

I can’t blame the parents.

I’m a full blown paranoid who thinks the Deep State is out to get Trump by any means necessary.

........Well, now we know, the shooter, little punk ass Thomas Crooks, WAS “politically motivated”.

I would blame the Democrats, either one or more, and be 99.9999% right which is infinitely a higher chance of getting it right than the FBI, riven by DEI and marxism, can do.

Is there any doubt at this point that the FBI cannot be trusted?

Nothing more than ANOTHER BOWL of WARMED OVER $HIT being served up to the American public.

Would you like a teaspoon or tablespoon to eat that with?

“We have no idea what his motive was but it certainly wasn’t #1.”
If you have no idea what his reason for shooting was, how can you then rule out a reason for his shooting at the President?
To quote Oh Brother, “that don’t make no sense at all!”

His motive was, he wanted to please his FBI handler.

Very Freudian.

I can’t blame the parents.

They are both psychiatrists.

Most people I know who were raised with only one psychiatrist parent are screwed up.

Maybe you can't blame the parents, but I'm willing to see where the facts of the matter take us.

But I sure as Hell wouldn't rule them out at this point.
