• Who Was Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20-Year-Old Shooter Accused Of Assassination Attempt On Donald Trump, Republic TV

A bona fide video recording of the assassin? Or is it a fake?

Republic TV is India's no.1 English news channel since its launch. Conservative (talk) 05:29, July 14, 2024 (EDT)

Twitter has a wider camera angle of the recorder: Thomas Matthew Crooks says you got the wrong guy. Will post the real guy. Conservative (talk) 05:33, July 14, 2024 (EDT)

Revolver News: NEWS WARNING: GRAPHIC photo released… FBI identifies Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, as the shooter.

"According to NBC: "Pennsylvania voter records listed a Thomas Matthew Crooks with the same address and birth date as a registered Republican, though it was not clear from the records when that was put in place. Federal Election Commission donor data also listed a Thomas Crooks of Pennsylvania as having $15 to ActBlue, a political action committee that backs Democrats, in June 2021."[1] Conservative (talk) 05:40, July 14, 2024 (EDT)

Oh good. You want to handle all this? I got some catching up to do in the foreign policy realm. Remember, the farther away you get from the event in time, the more difficult it is to resolve.

Donor class

Gotta love that term. They've gone from being greedy capitalists and exploiters to the donor class. Makes em sound like financial backers of the Salvation Army. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There}

Secret Service

You can see where this is all heading already. Never mind the obvious in front of you own eyes. Rather than being investigated for the attempt to kill Trump, it will result in a bigger budget and more funding for the Secret Service due to "lack of resources". Just like how the Capitol Police got a $2 billion bonus to open offices in 50 states and 435 Congressional districts (and get drone technology) after J6 (oh yah, and the Capital Police are exempt from normal oversight and FOIA cause they are in the legislative branch, not the executive branch).

Big question

• Did Crooks expect to survive, or was he on a suicide mission? Did he have a planned escape route? Or was he, as is often said of young people, not afraid of mortality? RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:03, July 25, 2024 (EDT)

It could also be, he didn't think everything through.Telling (talk)

I'm somewhat of that mind, too. He evidently trained with FBI snipers, and was under the impression they had his back. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:34, July 28, 2024 (EDT)

If you think about what happened to Oswald, how could Crooks think he would survive? But he must have. If he survived, he could expect money from the Iranians. As I have I have said before, Trump needs to drop out. The Deep State has made up its mind. Trump is not going to be president again. PeterKa (talk) 10:34, August 23, 2024 (EDT)

FBI at hearing 30 July

"There were over 700 comments posted from this account," Abbate said. "Some of these comments appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature." US Secret Service acting director 'ashamed' about Trump shooting. So this guy is again a nut. Trying to halt Trump who is tough on immigration... Dianne3000 (talk)

This is a questionable claim. It took 10 days to say he had a Gab account with 9 postings, now more than 2 weeks to make this claim. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 12:54, July 30, 2024 (EDT)

That's a reference to Andrew Torba & Gab, and Crooks alleged 9 posts in support of Biden in 2021. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 14:13, July 30, 2024 (EDT)

As to Torba being an anti-Semite, it's either that or the guy is just a plain idiot (probably more of the later). RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 14:15, July 30, 2024 (EDT)

More about shooter: Torrance church's Cole Allen of Christian student fellowship

“

Accused attacker at Washington media dinner is a tutor and computer engineer from California... He earned a bachelor’s degree in 2017 in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, according to his profile on the social networking site LinkedIn. The small university is academically prestigious with a very low acceptance rate. He also listed his involvement there in a campus group that battled with Nerf guns and a Christian student fellowship. The suspect’s father, Thomas Allen, is listed as an elder at Grace United Reformed Church Torrance. The webpage for the congregation describes it as a “Bible-believing church” following the “infallible Word of God.” Security guards posted at the sanctuary during worship services on Sunday escorted parishioners to the door and kept reporters at bay. (AP, 4.26.26. [7]

”

“

The writings, sent shortly before shots were fired Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, made repeated references to President Donald Trump without naming him directly and alluded to grievances over a range of administration actions, including U.S. strikes on boats accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean (PBS, 4.26.26 [8])

”

“

Cole Allen reportedly belonged to the far-left group "The Wide Awakes" and attended "No Kings" protests in California. His rhetoric in his manifesto is all too familiar among politicians and pundits who are fueling the rage... (Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley: [9])
