Who was Thomas Crooks? One year later, motive and missed warnings haunt Trump rally shooting

Shooter's motives still unclear despite extensive investigation into the attack that nearly changed American history..

As the one-year mark nears since the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, questions remain unanswered; notably, why did Thomas Matthew Crooks carry out the attack, and how did he get so close?

Despite the year's passage, the mystery endures surrounding the 20-year-old Pennsylvania native’s motivation. Fox News Digital spoke with two former federal officials about the lingering questions.

Former FBI agent John Nantz said Crooks did not fit the profile of a politically motivated extremist.

"Crooks looked not so much like an ideologue, not so much like an individual who was being directed in some way to conduct an assassination attempt, but more like a person with anti-social issues that may have been seeking notoriety,"

One year later: Lingering questions about Crooks' motive While investigators have not identified a definitive ideological or political motivation, the FBI has suggested a complex interplay of personal grievances, mental health issues and a desire for notoriety to lead to the attack.

The breakdown on July 13 led to bipartisan calls for then-USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign. After her resignation, Ronald Rowe Jr., who was serving as the deputy director, was appointed as the acting director.

He held the position until Jan. 22, when Sean Curran, a veteran agent who had been part of Trump's protective detail during the assassination attempt, was appointed as the 28th director of the USSS.

My guess is that he was an Obama wet works cut out, groomed by handlers. He trained regularly at his local range.

And he had all the set up information/support from someone.

The SS left a safe ally in the security for him to exploit.

There is a conspiratorial aspect to this case.

His body was cremated way to fast, and he may also have been shot by one of his handlers as well as by the SS sniper.He was likely cremated because he had wounds from other fire than that of the SS sniper.

Then there are the web accounts from Europe that no one could access. What about those? Have they been wiped clean?

The GRand jusry investigation into the anti Trump conspiracy has its worl cut out for them. There are treasonous murderers within the US government who must be apprehended and indicted.They have refused the elctoral will of the People and attempted had created an ongoing coup.

And one down side is that Canada was accosted by CNN lies by the CBC for a decade so now the Canadian public has been turned against Trump, they have bought the conspiracy from which America had escaped. I can tell you that Canada itself and its people are suffering hugely because of the anti Trump conspiracy.They bought the anti Trump crap hook line and sinker. So now Canada is becoming Zimbabwe North, a third world sh*t hole thanks to the Biden loving Lefty Davos woke Liberal party of Canada under Carney.

Canada will become the 51st state if this keeps up, or Russian.
