The observation was well-warranted:
We know more about Luigi Mangione, the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO
killer, than we do about Thomas Matthew Crooks,
who tried to assassinate
President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July. Crooks
was shot and killed during the attempt, but not after a slew of security
breaches and all-around ineptitude from the Secret Service was exposed.
It was one of the few times where Democrats and Republicans found the
Secret Service’s initial reasoning and demeanor after the attempt to be
wholly unacceptable. Well, there seems to be a reason why Crooks has
evaporated into the ether: the FBI is allegedly suppressing all
information about the Trump assassin, which reportedly contains a
possible lead on an accomplice. Granted, these aren’t federal
investigators, but a private investigator tasked with finding some
motive behind this attack. There’s also a congressional committee
investigating this matter as well, so at some point, the FBI has to turn
over everything if they are stonewalling, and we have a new director,
Kash Patel, who isn’t going to deploy evasive maneuvers like previous
FBI head Chris Wray (via NY Post):
It’s
been almost nine months since a seemingly mild-mannered 20-year-old
attempted to assassinate then-Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump at a rally in Butler.
And we still have no good reason why.
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 frustrated.
Those who may know, Crooks’ parents
Matthew and Mary, have refused all interviews and remain in their small,
three-bedroom home here, sealed off from the world like hermits.
Neighbors say they only leave the house at 3 am to buy groceries.

A
veteran private investigator from Erie, Penn., who was hired shortly
after the fateful July 13 event at Butler Farm to look into Crooks by a
private client, told The Post he believes a “criminal network” was
operating with him at the time of the assassination attempt, is still in
existence and still wants to kill President Trump.
Doug Hagmann,
whose team of six other investigators have been working the case for
months and have interviewed more than 100 people, said they also
conducted extensive geofencing analysis of cell phones and tablets not
belonging to Crooks that were found with him at his home, at the rifle
range where he took target practice, at the rally and at Bethel Park
High School where he graduated in 2022.
“We don’t think he acted alone,” Hagmann told The Post.
[…]
Rep.
Clay Higgins (R-La.) — part of a bipartisan task force looking into
Crooks’ actions and his death — found that it although a Secret Service
sniper took him down with the kill shot, it was a local SWAT officer who
made the shot that initially took him down — something the FBI did not
report at the time.
Higgins, who has also been investigating
Crooks’ assassination attempt for months, has not seen Hagmann’s
geofencing data but downplayed its significance. He told The Post he
believes Crooks acted alone and there was no conspiracy. However, he
also said the FBI continually obstructed his investigation.
Higgins’ theory is that Crooks was likely on a prescription drug that
made him go insane. We’ll never know since no toxicology tests were
ever performed. His family later cremated his body. Yet, this is old FBI
nonsense if true. Kash Patel is someone who will set things straight if
asked.
