The Bipartisan Congressional Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump (Task Force) recently has made news regarding its investigation being stymied by the federal agencies that are tasked with not only investigating the attempted assassination, but also providing important documentation to the Task Force. Apparently, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) isn’t being cooperative.

The Task Force sent a letter to ATF in early October requesting numerous documents associated with the Bureau’s part in the investigation and its work with other federal law enforcement agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Secret Service.

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 13^th 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.”

Something just doesn’t seem right with the Crooks family. Above and beyond the possibility that their son tried to take out a former U.S. President, murder one and wound two others and everything that goes with that, the Crooks just seem odd, beginning with the alleged nagging phone call placed by the father to the Butler Police the day of the attempted assassination.

Remember that Thomas Brian Crooks, the father of the alleged shooter, told law enforcement that according to CBS News “Matthew Crooks called police before the shooting at the rally, concerned about his son and his whereabouts.” Fox News explained it this way. “Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents were looking for him on Saturday in the hours leading up to the Trump rally shooting and eventually called law enforcement to indicate that he was missing, and they were worried.” Fox further embellished that “it’s unclear what his parents’ told authorities, but the call happened on Saturday before Crooks later opened fire at Trump during the rally in Butler…”
