Eerie new photos of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks minutes before shooting raise questions about assassination attempt
Daily Mail ^ | August 16, 2024

Eerie new photos of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks have raised more questions about the failed assassination attempt.

One of the images captures the 20-year-old Crooks perched on a wall in a grassy area on July 13 at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally - just moments before he opened fire.

In the picture, Crooks can be seen holding up his cell phone - as if chatting to someone on a call. Investigators have still not determined what Crooks' motive was or whether he was indeed acting alone.

The other picture captures the moment Crooks turns to look over his shoulder while sitting in the same position. It was unclear what prompted him to turn, or whether he was talking to someone behind him.

Two pictures of Crooks were released to Judicial Watch along with documents that detail the local law enforcement support leading up the rally.

The photos have raised questions and sparked theories relating to the attempted assassination.

Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper after opening fire at the rally and piercing former president Donald Trump in the ear. One rally-goer was killed in the shooting and two others injured.

There has been prior speculation that Crooks may have been communicating with someone else before he carried out the assassination attempt.

See post 30.

(1) Those are not new photos of Crooks. (2) They are not eerie. He had flown his drone around the event site and likely was reviewing the resulting photos on his phone.

Not that it would get released if a government operation, but I wonder if a satellite was recording the events of the day? Mayybe Space Force has it all.

The congressman’s report was that “Crooks” was first shot by the Butler Police. The bullet hit his gun stock and fragged his face (and possibly disabled his gun). He was then shot in the head by the SS antisnipers on the left of Trump. The congressional investigators also stated how unusual for the FBI to quickly sanitize the site, and quickly allowed “Crooks” body to be cremated before the congressman could view the body.

Reinforcing this, there is a phone video from one the people shot by “Crooks” and released by Fox news: it shows “Crooks” scurrying along the rooftop behind a speaking Trump. From the video it looks like “Crooks” was shot twice. But the video is very grainy (low resolution).

The video does not support a head shot from the sniper at all.
He almost had to have been shot from behind at top of the nape of the neck.

Rule #39* No coincidences!

*Leroy Jethro Gibbs’s Rules | NCIS Database, https://ncis.fandom.com/wiki/Leroy_Jethro_Gibbs/Gibbs%27s_Rules:

Rule #39: There is no such thing as a coincidence. (particularly) at this level.

Rule #40: If it seems someone is out to get you, they are.

Both of the above rules, might apply to this so called news!

“He had flown his drone around the event site and likely was reviewing the resulting photos on his phone.”

Wray, the FBI Director, testified (for what it’s worth) that Crooks must have veiwed the drone live as he didn’t record the drone flight.

Rep Eli Crane and Corey Mills, both former snipers are doing their own outside investigation since none of the 3 snipers in Congress were chosen by Johnson’s committee. I just heard Eli Crane say that Johnson didn’t choose them because they voted against him on things.
Reason for more confidence in speaker, Johnson right?

IF anyone was actually interested in doing an investigation...

note: ALL cellphone conversations and texts are stored by the NSA

1. pull gps cellphone data for the ENTIRE NATION

2. Find the nine(9) numbers that frequented his home.

3. identify any numbers that spent ‘quality time’ with any of those numbers. (N+1)

3. identify the users.

4. pull transcripts of all calls and texts in and out of those numbers

5. pull all financial data, banking and investments

6. identify all ip addresses used by these numbers or in their proximity

7. identify all email addresses and social media associated with those ip addresses

8. identify all email addresses addressed by the original group, and ip addresses. (N+1)

8. get copies of all emails sent to/from those addresses

9. identify all businesses and resident addresses visited

10. do analysis to find overlaps and any incriminating conversations or topics.


this would be a good start.

note: all collections would be for the timeframe of 2 months prior and 2 weeks after

“Why is he wearing shorts in one picture and long pants in the next?”

Because the Deep State assassin plotters were infected with DEI.

Allen Dulles and James Jesus Angleton they are not...

Lol.

They were only two centimeters away from changing history.

They changes history. Just not in the way they intended.
