Few answers about Trump assassination attempt

 DC Daily Journal:

Nearly nine months after Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old engineering student, attempted to assassinate then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Americans still have no clear answers — and some say the FBI is blocking the truth.

Sources told the New York Post that the FBI, under the Biden administration, has obstructed efforts to determine why Crooks carried out the July 13th shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. Despite accessing Crooks’ phone, computer, and encrypted messages across Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany, the FBI has withheld much of its findings.

Local law enforcement, investigators, and even Crooks’ former friends and classmates remain frustrated by the lack of transparency. Meanwhile, Crooks’ parents, Matthew and Mary, have refused all interviews and reportedly live in isolation, only leaving their home at 3 a.m. to buy groceries.

Even Elon Musk has questioned the FBI’s silence, demanding answers at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC):

“By the way, why do we know nothing about that guy in Butler?” Musk asked the crowd, adding that new FBI Director Kash Patel will “get to the bottom of it.”

Doug Hagmann, a veteran private investigator hired by a private client, has spent months probing the case with a team of six investigators, interviewing over 100 people and analyzing geofencing data.

“We don’t think he acted alone,” Hagmann told the New York Post. “This took a lot of coordination… I wouldn’t preclude the possibility that there were people at the rally itself helping him.”

Hagmann revealed that one electronic device — tracked near Crooks at the rifle range, his home, and the rally — continues to ping at Bethel Park High School, where Crooks graduated in 2022.

While Higgins publicly maintains that Crooks acted alone, Hagmann’s evidence and the FBI’s secrecy paint a darker picture — one of a coordinated plot still unfolding in the shadows.

As Kash Patel takes the reins of the FBI, one thing is clear: The American people deserve answers — and those who covered up the truth must be held accountable.

Assassinations and attempted assassinations invariably lead to speculation on who else might have been involved.  The assassination of Presdient Kennedy in the sixties led to books being written about possible accomplices.  The fact that the assassin had encrypted conversations with people in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany is intriguing.  I can imagine why his parents would be embarrassed to talk at this point.  Why would a 20-year-old have encrypted messages across Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany?  The FBI should be able to figure that out.
