FBI Announces They've Successfully Opened Would-Be Trump Assassin's Phone
Red State ^ | 7/15/24 | Bob Hoge

Posted on 07/15/2024 2:27:46 PM PDT by CFW

As the investigation into Saturday’s assassination attempt against former President and newly-minted GOP nominee Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally intensifies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Monday that they have successfully gained access to the suspected shooter’s phone.

They have not revealed what information they’ve found on the device, but it is likely to contain a trove of information about the deceased suspect, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.

The FBI has not detailed any of the information contained in the phone. The agency began its investigation into Crooks and the shooting shortly after the Saturday attack. Agents went to Crooks' home and the home of his parents on Sunday and Monday. They are investigating the incident as an assassination attempt and possible domestic terrorism.

He was probably groomed. History purged long ago.

Does anyone believe this corrupt FBI, under Wray and Garland, will do a good and honest investigation and that we will learn the truth? I don’t.

> Does anyone think we will ever know what is on that phone? <

You’ve got that right. Eventually a transcript will be released. It will be 80% false. The other 20% will be innocent stuff like calls to his grandma.

GOP congressional committee: We demand to see that cell phone!
FBI official: We accidentally erased everything on the phone. Then we lost it.
GOP congressional committee: Oh, that’s too bad. Thanks for stopping by.

What caliber was the ammo? Was it .223 or .22LR?
When I was at Walmart we sold .22LR that looked like AR15’s.

The phone will be placed on the shelf next to Epstein’s black book and video recordings, Anthony Wiener’s laptop, Hillary’s server, Hunter’s laptop, Lois Lerner’s (et al) Blackberry and computer hard drive . . .

“His face was more-or-less intact.”

How do you know that? Reason I ask is a friend sent me a very graphic closeup pic that was supposed to the shooter after he was killed but he said he can’t confirm it was legit. Have you seen that?

Depending on the nature of his manifesto — if he has a manifesto — we may never hear about it.

The Presstitutes already told us that there was no manifesto. As if they'd know that as a certainty at this early point in the investigation.

Yup, even as a 57 year old lawyer, lifelong conservative, law and order guy, I have ZERO TRUST in the FBI.

Actually, it’s worse than having no trust. It’s more deep, solid suspicion they will 86 anything and everything that doesn’t fit a “some deranged MAGA kid did it” scenario, pretend there’s nothing on the phone worthwhile, or “lose” or “accidentally erase” the contents.

Took them this long to reconstruct the shooter’s face for FaceID.

They already know everything that’s on it.

Too bad it’s the FBI who has it’s hands on the device.
