New Administration Faces Pressure on Thomas Crooks-Butler Assassination Link

January 20, 2025

It’s fabulous that the 47^th President of the United States has been sworn in and finally he, and his new cabinet, can get down to the remaking of America. Unfortunately, there is some deadly serious unfinished business from the last administration that still needs to be addressed.

It is by the grace of God that Donald Trump survived the assassination attempt on July 13^th in Butler Pennsylvania and was able to walk to a resounding victory in November. But despite numerous promises for complete transparency about what occurred that day in Butler, nothing…nothing of substance has been made available to the American people to even remotely prove what occurred and by whose hand.

Early on, almost immediately, a lone 20-year-old gunman with zero social media footprint (unheard of in today’s world) was targeted as the alleged shooter. Thomas Matthew Crooks was the name America has come to know as the would-be assassin. Unfortunately, more is known about Don Jr.’s new girlfriend than about Thomas Crooks and his family. How is that possible?

Was Crooks some crazed, drug addled killer? Was he mentally ill experiencing a psychotic episode? Doesn’t seem possible. The public has been told that both of Crooks’ parents are experts in the mental health field, so it seems entirely possible that the son was getting “good” mental health at home. And, certainly, the Crooks would have known if son Thomas was having mental health issues…right? They’re experts!  Meh… maybe. Once it was decided that Thomas Matthew Crooks was the alleged shooter, all information about the family dried up. Move along. Nothing to see here, right?

But answers are necessary. They bring closure. And, in this instance, the public has been promised by numerous state and federal law enforcement agencies and elected officials that no stone would go unturned to get to the bottom of the assassination attempt. So far, though, the FBI has yet to complete its investigation, the Secret Service was only interested in the agency’s failure to protect the former President and candidate, not the person who actually tried to kill the 45^th President. The Congressional “TASK FORCE” provided a report that was an utter and complete insult, merely regurgitating, in pages of worthless platitudes, that the Secret Service had failed in its mission.

Most infuriating is that none of these reports that have been made public provide a single piece of physical evidence that Thomas Matthew Crooks was the alleged shooter. No fingerprint data from the alleged weapon, no ballistics data that prove his weapon was used to shoot anybody, no DNA tests from the weapon, no mobile phone data to prove he was even on the roof of the AGR Building (pings) and no photographs of the would-be assassin. Oh, and the peasants are not worthy of getting to see the autopsy of the alleged shooter, whose body just happened to lay on the roof of the AGR Building all night until it was retrieved at 6am the following morning. Nothing weird about that!

Not to be Johnny Rain Cloud, but there is also that problem with the second vehicle that was located outside of the rally perimeter…a white van with Arizona license plates that police dogs sniffed out. And, according to news reports and videos, police found explosives in the van. So, who did the van belong to? Why didn’t the driver come back for the van? Did anyone ask Crooks’ parents if Thomas had a White Van? What happened to the van? Thomas Crooks reportedly drove a blue Sonata to the AGR Building parking lot. How’d a white van get there too? Were there two possible assassins? These are not insignificant questions. There is a video of cops swarming the white van and loading it onto a trailer and taking it away. C’mon, what’s with the White Van? The American People deserve to know and there are a few who have tried relentlessly to get a Grand Jury to get answers to these and many more questions that those in charge don’t seem to want to answer.

The Butler County Republican Committee has been unable to obtain information about the shooting with the FBI and Homeland Security denying Freedom of Information requests, so it has requested Richard Goldinger, the Butler County District Attorney to impanel an investigative Grand Jury. What was Goldinger’s response?

“The State Police conducted their own investigation into the events that unfolded that day. Their investigation was extensive and involved interviewing dozens of individuals who were present the day of the rally. This investigation is independent of the multiple investigations being conducted by congressional committees.” Goldinger wraps up his denial with “I do not believe it is necessary to impanel an investigative grand jury to investigate the events leading up to and including the day of the Trump rally on July 13, 2024. I am satisfied with the investigation and conclusions reached by the Pennsylvania State Police.”

Goldinger is “satisfied.” Really? Guess what? Nobody is allowed to see the Pennsylvania State Police Report. Nope! It’s a secret. In order to get a copy of that report, one would have to subpoena it and that would require a costly civil lawsuit.  And it gets better. Goldinger explains that the congressional committees will have their own reports. What investigative report was used by those Congressional Committees? That’s right. The Pennsylvania State Police Report that regular Americans are not privy to! You can’t make this up.

Yes. The Congressional Committees quoted many investigations but provided no physical evidence to support that Thomas Matthew Crooks is the alleged would-be assassin. And the Congressional TASK FORCE did not even mention the elusive White Van. Did the Pennsylvania State Police even consider that there was another automobile with explosives and where in the hell that very large piece of physical evidence was taken? The American People may never know what happened that day if the current investigations are hidden from public review.

The American People want to see the autopsy of Thomas Matthew Crooks. The American People would like to know why the Crooks family has been coddled by law enforcement. The American People deserve to see all the investigations conducted with taxpayer funds…state or federal. The American People will be waiting for President Trump’s new cabinet to be confirmed and the new FBI Director, the head of Homeland Security, the Secret Service and Justice Department must release all investigative documents pertaining to the assassination attempt in Butler Pennsylvania.

Without the release of this information, the new administration is simply continuing to cover for those responsible for an attempt on a President’s life. That is unacceptable.
