Two reports have raised serious concerns that the FBI covered up evidence about the motives of Thomas Crooks, who nearly succeeded in assassinating Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year.
The first report comes from investigators hired by Tucker Carlson, who has hurt his credibility in recent months. But the second report, which confirms Carlson’s investigation, comes from the New York Post.
In the aftermath of the Butler assassination attempt, top FBI officials, including former Director Christopher Wray, testified before Congress that Crooks had no significant social media presence that could help explain his motivation for trying to kill Donald Trump.
The head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh office told reporters, “We see no definitive ideology associated with our subject, either left-leaning or right-leaning.” Either they weren’t trying very hard, or they lied.
