Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA), who is the leader of the House task force in charge of investigating the assassination attempt on President Trump, has revealed the autopsy of Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks is “gruesome.” In a comment to The Daily Mail, Rep. Kelly said that people who “don’t have a strong stomach” shouldn’t see the autopsy. Punch Bowl News reported the Trump Shooting Task Force obtained the autopsy through a subpoena to the Allegheny County medical examiner. Also contained in the subpoena was a request for everyone in the room when the autopsy occurred.

Thomas Crooks is the American Antifa. We now know he was groomed over five years in bomb-making lessons and then sniper training to go on to almost murder a President. How did the Science Scholarship Winner building chess sets for the blind become a bomb builder and a sniper for Antifa? Thomas Crooks wore the “Demolition Team” T-Shirt to the Trump Assassination. The FBI is currently hiding the Antifa involvement with the grooming of Crooks as a bomber and a sniper, and it seems even members of Congress are coming to that conclusion.

Thomas Crooks is seen 3 times on the AGR building by on officer's body camera! at the Trump Rally on July 13, 2024.

A new video of Thomas Crooks walking around the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 approximately 2 hours before the assassination attempt against Trump has surfaced. A vendor posted video of Thomas Crooks walking outside the security perimeter at 4:26 pm – about two hours before he climbed on a roof and took 8 shots at Trump and rallygoers at 6:12 pm. WATCH: Here is a map of where Crooks likely walked around near the vendors:

A preliminary investigation report by Rep. Clay Higgins (LA-R) has revealed the body of Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks is gone. In Rep. Higgins’s report, he wrote that on August 5th, when he requested to view the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks, he was told the body of Crooks was “gone.” The representative from Louisiana further noted that the FBI released the body to be cremated just ten days after the shooting occurred on July 13. Higgins, in his preliminary report of the Trump rally shooting, wrote, “My effort to examine Crooks’ body on Monday, August 5, caused quite...

More questions than answers.

This story is popping on Twitter, and -- if true -- it makes the entire mess surrounding the investigation into the Trump assassination attempt even worse. In the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt, the Left argued Crooks was a registered Republican even though he'd made donations to ActBlue and Biden himself on inauguration day. Not exactly Republican, pro-Trump behavior. At this time, it's not confirmed that the account in question belonged to Thomas Crooks, but if it does -- and the FBI requested info on this particular account -- the way it was portrayed in Congressional testimony is different...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is leading the federal government’s investigation into the attempted assassination of President Trump from July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania that took the life of one, and seriously injured Trump and two others, confirmed certain key details about the case to media outlets in a private call today. The FBI formally said today, on the record, that the 5 1/2 foot ladder purchased by Thomas Crooks was not used at the rally shooting. The FBI confirmed that the ladder was left behind at the home on the day of the shooting. It had previously been...

Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks made more than two-dozen “firearms- related purchases” starting a year before he tried to kill the former president, carefully covering his tracks by using a fake name and trying to hide his activity online, according to law enforcement sources. Last spring, Crooks, 20, began to gear up — making more than 25 separate purchases from online gun supply stores using an alias, sources told The Post. Crooks took great pains to conceal his online activities, which shows he was engaged in meticulous planning even well ahead of the campaign rally, sources said. It...

Text messages, obtained exclusively by The Times, indicate that some law enforcement officers were aware of Thomas Crooks earlier than previously known. And he was aware of them. Nearly 100 minutes before former President Donald J. Trump took the stage in Butler, Pa., a local countersniper who was part of the broader security detail let his colleagues know his shift was ending. “Guys I am out. Be safe,” he texted to a group of colleagues at 4:19 p.m. on July 13. He exited the second floor of a warehouse that overlooked the campaign rally site, leaving two other countersnipers behind....

Pennsylvania’s top police officer faced intense questioning from lawmakers regarding the communication breakdown between the U.S. Secret Service and state and local law enforcement during the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The tragic incident left one rally attendee dead and two others injured. Lawmakers were shocked to discover that state police had alerted the U.S. Secret Service about a suspicious individual with a range finder approximately 20 to 25 minutes before the July 13 shooting. A photo of the suspect was even sent to a phone number provided by the federal agency.

The video is from a bit less than 20 minutes after the shooting. (One should only need to watch less than twenty seconds.)

Go to 4:50 in the video in the link below. You will hear there was only 5 shell casings. The Director said there were 8 shots fired. I think he said 1 shot was the counter sniper team? So where were the other 2 shots from? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV_d4Qe7PcM

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is making public the full extent of bodycam footage obtained from local law enforcement thus far and filmed in the hour following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump barely survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13—a fatal headshot was missed by millimeters. The would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was perched on an unprotected rooftop less than 200 yards from the rally stage. Secret Service snipers killed him during the attack. What was his motive? We don’t know the official narrative from federal authorities, which is becoming a recurring conclusion of such investigations by the FBI. Yet, a social media clue might point us in the right direction. It's a platform that has a disreputable reputation for being a haven for neo-Nazis and...

A storm is brewing as lawmakers and the public demand answers following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. On Monday, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle found herself at the center of a heated congressional hearing, addressing security lapses that could have ended disastrously. Bipartisan frustration has been palpable as representatives from both sides of the aisle have confronted Cheatle and questioned the Secret Service. The shooting in Pennsylvania has led to calls from several lawmakers for Cheatle’s resignation. Now, the Oversight Project, a watchdog group with the Heritage Foundation, released a report that could potentially link Thomas...
