Potential cover-up over would-be Trump assassin exposed

FBI ACCUSED OF CROOKS-ED BEHAVIOR

At a July 13, 2024, Butler, Pa., rally, Crooks shot at Donald Trump from a nearby rooftop

AMERICA'S top lawmen are facing allegations of a cover-up after the FBI officially concluded its probe into would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks — without revealing his motive for trying to gun down the then-Republican nominee for president.

In a head-scratching Nov. 22 announcement, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino declared the Bureau had found no reason why the now-deceased 20-year-old gunman would open fire on Trump during a July 13, 2024, campaign stop in Butler, Pa.

“We have reviewed this case over and over — looked into every nugget. We have spoken to the families, the president,” he proclaimed. “There is no motive for it, there is no reason for it.”

Shockingly, Bongino’s statement came just five days following reports alleging that Crooks had a long and disturbing history of posting violent, murderous, and racist threats on the internet.
