The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.

Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh.

Sources said Crooks was was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.

Wow. I had not seen that video.

It clearly shows people saw the sniper on the roof... people panicking... then shots being fired... Then the dead sniper. We also have seen drone pictures and after death pictures confirming this was the shooter

 

But I had seen this video. This tells me that cops had a bead on the sniper but waited till he fired first. They returned fire even before Trump hit the deck.

Proof positive they Secret Service watched the sniper on the roof before they returned fire.

 

I wish I knew how to save these videos to a hard drive. Cause I wouldn't be surprised if they get scrubbed before tomorrow morning.

Link to that Twitter post.

Here you go. Same one I posted earlier above but this one is still up (for now).

"My name is Thomas Matthew Crooks..."

He's a troll!

Never mind. I see you tried to post a link. But like a lot of internet hoaxes - it was deleted.

Again I say - there are so many trolls sporting lies and disinformation on the web. That Twitter post was probably a fake.

But pictures today prove a skinny white guy with a beard, who’s older than 20, glasses, and has long blond hair shot up the Trump Rally.

We’ll find out his name soon enough

The first comment on that post is dead on....

The user
@jewgazing
deleted his video. He is probably just someone who looks similar to the shooter and was goofing.

Sources said Crooks was was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.>>> Eye witnesses said he bear crawled on the roof to make the shot while SS watched.

I see your point and apologize for my confusion. That’s what I get for falling for internet trolls. (NO, I don’t mean you. I mean that Jew gazing freak)

I just wish we all could hold our breath for a little bit.

I'm guilty as well of posting BS here as soon as I see it on Twitter.

Fact is, the trolls are out in force right now and some of these Millennial and Zoomer trolls are really talented with the deep fake stuff. They generate it quickly.

No worries. There's a lot of confusion. I'm trying myself to sift through the 99% BS for the 1% truth and it's hard to find.

I just can’t place much faith in the Biden DoJ’s ability to conduct an investigation on the matter, or more precisely to conduct it and then communicate the results honestly.>>> At his point the SS will just shoot all the witnesses.

Two shooters. Listen to the video before they scrub it. it goes bam bam from my limited experience that is way to fast even for an AR platform 22-250 . just saying.

Maybe, maybe not.

Check out the photo of the dead perp. Very similar. Same exact eyes.

This, I believe.

But now Twitter is inundated with supposed "evidence" that Thomas Matthew Crook (aged 20) is a registered Republican or that he's in Antifa and donated to ActBlue.

Who the hell knows? It could all be fake!

As far as I know, he was trying to impress Jodie Foster.
