A chilling question hangs over the attempted attack on a former president: was the full story ever revealed? New footage has surfaced, reigniting scrutiny of Thomas Crooks, the man who traveled to Butler, Pennsylvania, last year with the intent to do harm.
The core of the controversy lies in allegations that the FBI deliberately obscured crucial information surrounding Crooks and his motivations. Claims suggest a significant cover-up, hinting at a narrative far more complex than initially presented to the public.
Previously unseen material, reportedly recovered from Crooks’ digital accounts, paints a disturbing picture. This includes footage of him practicing with a handgun in his bedroom, a stark visual that underscores the seriousness of his intentions.
What’s particularly unsettling is the apparent transformation in Crooks’ online persona. An anonymous source provided access to what are claimed to be his old social media posts, revealing a dramatic ideological shift over a short period.
In 2019, the posts allegedly depict a fervent Trump supporter, even expressing violent sentiments towards political opponents. He reportedly called for harsh actions against those who criticized the former president, revealing a deeply polarized worldview.
However, by 2020, a complete reversal is evident. The same accounts allegedly show Crooks denouncing Trump supporters as “brainwashed” and “racist,” mocking the very concepts he once embraced. This rapid change raises profound questions about his state of mind.
Even as his political views flipped, the disturbing pattern of violent rhetoric continued. Alleged posts from August 2020 suggest he contemplated “terrorism-style attacks” against the government, hinting at a growing instability.
The FBI maintains that Crooks acted alone, a conclusion reached after an exhaustive investigation involving over 480 employees. They claim to have analyzed hundreds of thousands of digital files, conducted over a thousand interviews, and examined numerous financial and social media accounts.
Despite this extensive effort, the question of a hidden narrative persists. The newly revealed footage and the documented ideological shift raise doubts about the completeness of the official account, leaving many to wonder if the truth has truly been uncovered.
The FBI Director responded to the allegations, firmly denying any intentional deception regarding Crooks’ online activity. He insists the investigation thoroughly examined all available evidence and confirmed Crooks planned and executed the attack independently.
