Complexity Behind the Attempt

On July 13, an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, left investigators probing possible links to a broader “criminal network,” suggesting Thomas Matthew Crooks did not act alone. Private investigator Doug Hagmann employed both interviews and geofencing analysis to reach this conclusion, adding credibility to the suspicion of co-conspirators. Hagmann noted, “We don’t think he acted alone.” Further inquiries reveal that Crooks, known to be an “intelligent, nerdy” individual, lacked the typical profile for a lone gunman.

Investigative reports and insights from security experts paint Crooks as potentially groomed, likely having received external support. This angle challenges an initial portrayal of Crooks as a lone actor. Notable figures argue the issue is far more complex, akin to historical covert operations, with Mark Sigaroos commenting, “It’s like JFK. Do we think we’ve become so modern that wouldn’t happen again?” Trump’s response included a visit to the hospital for a CT scan, aiming to affirm his cognitive health. Trump reportedly requested a copy of the scan results, saying, “Because I want to make sure I can show reporters that my cognitive function is 100 percent.”

Connections and Cover-ups

The Heritage Foundation’s oversight project employed mobile ad data to trace the movements of Crooks and his associates, which revealed potential links to FBI offices. This development raises suspicions about whether a change at the FBI might prompt a deeper investigation into the extent of Crooks’ radicalization and possible complicity of law enforcement. The alleged involvement of government bodies adds a layer of intrigue and complexity to an already sensitive case.

Steven Cheung, Trump’s spokesperson, had to quash false reports circulating about Trump’s supposed demise post-attack, emphasizing the widespread impact of misinformation. As the details unfold, a stark picture emerges, challenging what appeared initially as a straightforward incident. The Trump campaign underscores the ongoing search for answers, and Trump has expressed a willingness to release reports on the assassination attempts citing, “I want to find the answers.” His commitment remains to uncover hidden elements that obscure the truth.

Continuing Investigation

As inquiries continue, Trump has survived further threats, including an assassination attempt two months later. In West Palm Beach, Florida, Secret Service agents successfully intercepted another threat on his life. Trump remains steadfast in his pursuit of transparency and justice, questioning the FBI’s reticence in sharing information. He stated, “I say when you have three apps and two of them are foreign, and you had an FBI that wouldn’t report on it—they didn’t want to say why—I would say that could be suspicious,” emphasizing the need for openness.

Upon receiving a report on the incidents, Trump indicated his willingness to release it unless significant concerns arise. As the investigation draws on, the narrative around these assassination attempts remains intriguing and indicative of potentially larger conspiracies at play.
