Bureaucratic Investigations Fail to Connect Crooks to Assassination Attempt
October 21, 2024
In the last week, two investigative reports have been released about the July 13th assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Between these two reports it’s fair to say that the public is none the wiser because of the shoddy investigative work performed. One report merely explains what the public already knew and the second is insulting from the standpoint of what the investigators failed to investigate.
The first report, The Independent Review Panel, interestingly provided not one name of any law enforcement, FBI or Secret Service personnel involved in security on July 13th but did provide the name of the alleged shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. How the Panel concluded that Thomas Matthew Crooks was the shooter is not part of the report. In fact, the Panel focused its investigation on the Secret Service failures on July 13th and, of course, the public already is aware of the enormous Secret Service failures by virtue of shots being fired leaving one person dead and three others wounded including former President Donald Trump.
The second report, The Congressional Bi-Partisan Task Force Interim Staff Report: Investigating the Stunning Security Failures on Jul 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, is lacking on a number of levels and one can only wonder who, exactly, is leading this “investigation.”
