BETHEL PARK, Pa. — It’s been almost nine months since a seemingly mild-mannered 20-year-old attempted to alter the course of history by trying to assassinate then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at a rally in Butler.

Sources told The Post the FBI has obstructed efforts to solve the mystery of why Thomas Matthew Crooks, who left no manifesto, did what he did. It’s left local law enforcement as well as Crooks’ former friends, classmates and teachers and even Elon Musk frustrated.

Those who may know, Crooks’ parents Matthew and Mary, have refused all interviews so far and remain in their small, three-bedroom home here, sealed off from the world like hermits. Neighbors say they only leave the house at 3am to buy groceries.

But a veteran private investigator from Erie, Penn., who was hired shortly after the fateful July 13 event at Butler Farm show grounds to look into Crooks by a private client, told The Post he believes a “criminal network” was operating with him at the time of the assassination attempt, is still in existence and still wants to kill President Trump.

Of course the FBI would suppress the evidence.

They did that with Hunter’s computer and the DNC guy, Seth Rich.

The FBI appears to exist to do this.

I dont even think Thomas Crooks is dead..nor do I think he is the shooter..when they showed his father and brother days later coming home from the market they looked happy as a clam. The real shooter was hired by Biden and his goons to off Trump and when it failed, biden had to drop out of the race

I think the FBI should be put on lockdown and I think military police should begin a rigorous investigation of the crimes of the FBI.

“investigators say FBI suppressing info”

I wonder if it will eventually come out the DOJ, FBI and Secret Service didn’t help plan this but knew it was happening and turned their backs on it as it happened?

Of course he did. Crooks was never on that roof. It was an Antifa guy on that roof that was shown dead.

I’ve always wondered if one or more people in the “Security Detail” had something to do with it.

I’ve never worked in security, but I honestly think I could’ve put together a better security plan.

Clearly he had accomplices. The little punk had the muscle mass of a house cat, yet he supposedly hauled around the rifle and the ladder and other items “undetected”. Suuuuure.

“I think the FBI should be put on lockdown and I think military police should begin a rigorous investigation of the crimes of the FBI.”

Definitely. In a sane world, that would have already happened.

“I dont even think Thomas Crooks is dead..nor do I think he is the shooter..”

That is why the FBI jumped straight up and, without authority, cremated the shooter’s body.

Without question, and the second assassin was an even more professional hit job.

Mom and dad don’t work? How are they living. They know something, and they ain’t talking.
