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,...

Former FBI assistant director Frank Figliuzzi said on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline” that those who voted for President Donald Trump should question whether they are American anymore. Figliuzzi said, “This Reince Priebus clip that you played, Nothing to see here, don’t worry, remain calm, he occasionally likes to take a grenade out and throw it on the floor to see what happens. I’ll tell you what happens when you play with a live grenade and toss it on the floor eventually it explodes. The only question for us is whether it’s going to explode back on Trump or explode...

Should Kash Patel secure Senate confirmation to lead the FBI, he will face the daunting task of subordinating a bureau of 13,000 agents with personnel actively begging Congress to intervene against the White House’s agenda and whose agents are suing the administration to block its implementation.When nominating Patel, then-President-elect Donald Trump praised him as the “one guy” who could “make the FBI great again.” Patel’s reputation as a Trump stalwart and vocal critic of the deep state’s career bureaucrats already had FBI agents warning of mass resignations should he enter the post. But now, some seem more inclined to work...

A poster on the FBI Reddit thread warned FBI leakers on evading DOGE and his team (see post below). It’s unclear if the poster is connected to the FBI or just trying to be helpful to any agent stupid enough to leak this carelessly. The Reddit poster also shared information on this link. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/remove-hidden-data-and-personal-information-by-inspecting-documents-presentations-or-workbooks-356b7b5d-77af-44fe-a07f-9aa4d085966f In other news, there are rumors online that the FBI plans a protest today and will walk off the job. The posts are drawing mockery after the way the FBI handled Antifa and Black Lives Matter compared with their handling of J6 protesters. People aren’t mentioning...

Florida Republican Sen. Ashley Moody detailed on Thursday the obstruction she faced when she tried to investigate the second assassination attempt against now-President Donald Trump. Moody recently served as attorney general of Florida until she was appointed to take the Senate seat vacated by now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In her last office, she took up the mantle of investigating the second attempted Trump assassination, which took place one Sunday morning in September at Trump International Golf Club in Florida while the then-Republican presidential nominee was hitting the links. She detailed the absurd levels of resistance to her investigation mounted...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -FBI employees were ordered on Sunday to answer a questionnaire about any work they may have done on criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, stoking fear about a fresh round of firings at the law enforcement agency.

Squads of FBI agents were escorted out of field offices in New York, Miami and Washington. Agents who were escorted from the Miami office were involved in the Mar-a-Lago documents case ... Everyone involved in that raid knew it was wrong ... We were just following orders ... Fire Driscoll immediately. File charges against him and prosecute him in the Miami courts. The next one will comply. Play by their rules. They set the precedent. ... If Mr Driscoll felt so strongly about not complying with a lawful command, he should have resigned his post. Instead, his “team” drove him...

The top agent at the F.B.I.’s New York City field office vowed in a defiant email to his staff to “dig in” after the Trump administration targeted officials involved in the investigations into the Jan. 6 attack — and praised the bureau’s interim leaders for defending its independence.“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy,” wrote James E. Dennehy, a veteran and highly-respected agent who has run...

Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll is on shaky ground with Department of Justice leaders for refusing to deliver the names of bureau employees involved in Jan. 6 cases and other Trump investigations. President Trump tapped Mr. Driscoll, an FBI veteran, to lead the bureau temporarily while his nominee for director, Kash Patel, goes through the Senate confirmation process. But questions remain over whether Mr. Driscoll can stay in the job before Mr. Patel is confirmed and sworn in. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove on Friday ordered Mr. Driscoll to compile a list of all current and former FBI employees...

A “prolific anti-Trump FBI agent” allegedly broke protocol in order to open and push the FBI’s initial investigation into President Donald Trump and the 2020 election, according to whistleblower records released by Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Jonson, R-Wis., Thursday. Former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Timothy Thibault, who was fired for violating the Hatch Act after Grassley exposed his public anti-Trump statements, authored the initial language for “Arctic Frost,” the investigation that would become former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawfare case against Trump over the 2020 election. “Thibault took this action despite being unauthorized to open...

Federalist CEO Sean Davis blasted the FBI for stonewalling Congress’s investigation into the first assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump. The moment came during a Friday interview, in which Davis was asked by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson what information is publicly available about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin who tried to kill Trump at a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Tell me the FBI needs Kash Patel without saying that the FBI needs Kash Patel. More than two years after filing a FOIA demand on the FBI for documents related to the Russia-collusion hoax, the bureau finally produced a six-page document detailing their probable cause for investigating Donald Trump. However, most of the document remains redacted, which means that we still don't know why Andrew McCabe made Trump a target after firing James Comey. Real Clear Investigations' Aaron Maté reports that the FBI wants to keep its "articulable factual basis" for probing whether Trump was a Russian agent under wraps:As...

As Donald Trump re-enters the White House on a pledge to end national security state overreach, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is still hiding critical details on the Russia conspiracy investigation that engulfed his first term. In response to a Freedom of Information request filed by RealClearInvestigations in August 2022, the FBI on Dec. 31, more than two years later, released a heavily redacted copy of the document that opened an explosive and unprecedented counterintelligence probe of the sitting president as an agent of the Russian government. The Electronic Communication, dated May 16, 2017, claimed to have an “articulable factual...
