The New York Post has stirred up a buzz by claiming an exclusive on a story that’s been out in the open for months. They report on the alleged Trump assassin, Thomas Crooks, and his supposed accomplice, but fail to credit prior investigative efforts. This new revelation comes after Crooks allegedly fired shots at Donald Trump during an event in Butler, Pennsylvania, back in July 2024.
Private Investigator Doug Hagmann’s work is heavily cited by the Post, with his findings based on geofencing data and numerous interviews. However, the Post’s report is not breaking news. The Gateway Pundit had already debunked several claims made by the FBI regarding the incident.
In the days following the shooting, the FBI’s narrative was full of holes, particularly their claims about Crooks accessing the roof with a ladder. The Gateway Pundit had previously exposed these inconsistencies. Furthermore, the FBI’s story about missing body camera footage has added to public skepticism.
The New York Post’s coverage seems to underestimate the evidence brought forward by credible sources earlier. Investigations showed that phones linked to Crooks were also detected in Washington D.C., near sensitive locations. The FBI has maintained that Crooks’ motives remain a mystery, with no concrete links to foreign actors.
Speculations have arisen about Crooks’ online activities, with some suggesting the FBI’s mention of “overseas encrypted accounts” might merely refer to common digital services. The FBI’s insinuations of Iranian involvement have not been substantiated. Critics argue these claims are part of a broader narrative pushed by certain media outlets.
The Heritage Foundation’s OversightPR Project had already highlighted data revealing Crooks’ connections last summer. This comprehensive analysis of mobile data mapped Crooks’ movements and those of his associates. Oversight PR’s findings have painted a broader picture of the events surrounding the assassination attempt.
Despite the revelations, questions about Crooks continue to linger. Oversight PR’s tweet from last July highlights these ongoing issues. The physical evidence, such as blood patterns and inconsistencies in Crooks’ appearance, raises further doubts about the official account.
Dr. Mollie James, in an interview with the Gateway Pundit, pointed out a possible gunshot wound on Crooks, suggesting close-range firing. This observation adds another layer to the already convoluted case. The situation is further complicated by the actions, or lack thereof, by snipers allegedly stationed nearby.
The unexplained behavior of these snipers, who reportedly watched Crooks for an extended period, raises serious questions. According to witnesses, the snipers did nothing for over 45 minutes while Crooks took aim. This inaction has fueled public outrage and demands for accountability.
As the crowd below reportedly shouted for intervention, the snipers remained passive. This baffling scenario has been a focal point for conspiracy theories. Many are questioning the true role of law enforcement during the incident.
While the New York Post attempts to piece together the story, many feel the real narrative remains obscured. The public continues to demand transparency and answers. As more details emerge, the pressure on authorities to clarify the events increases.
The lack of conclusive evidence and the FBI’s evasive statements have only intensified suspicions. The mainstream media’s portrayal of events often leaves out critical perspectives. This has led to alternative media outlets gaining traction as they explore these gaps.
The story of Thomas Crooks and the attempted assassination of Donald Trump is far from over. As investigations proceed, the public remains vigilant. Many hope for a resolution that will finally bring clarity to this convoluted affair.
In the meantime, the discourse around this incident remains heavily polarized. Opinions are divided, with some trusting official narratives, while others question their validity. The truth, it seems, is still elusive.
