There are still many mysteries surrounding the near assassination of Donald Trump.
One line of investigation is being ignored by the authorities.
But now the Secret Service Special Agent in Charge (SAIC) for Donald Trump’s Butler rally is sweating through his shirt after a Green Beret asked this one question in Congress.
Former Army Green Beret suspects Trump shooter didn’t act alone
There’s still little information about 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks that’s been released after he nearly assassinated former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Officials with the Secret Service and the FBI insist that Crooks acted alone.
But Representative Michael Waltz (R-FL) – a former Army Green Beret – thinks it’s too soon to come to that conclusion.
“We’ve heard both the Secret Service and the FBI kind of phrase it in different ways — that everything they’ve seen he acted alone and that they have yet to find any co-conspirator,” Waltz told the New York Post.
Waltz is a member of the bipartisan House investigation into the assassination attempt.
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) with a radio-controlled detonator were found in Crooks’ car after the shooting.
“I find that hard to believe, and I want to see where’s the proof,” Waltz said. “How did he learn to build those IEDs? How did he learn to install remote detonators? How did he conduct those searches and not get popped? I still have a lot of questions.”
Trump shooter had encrypted accounts in foreign countries
Waltz revealed that Crooks had encrypted messaging accounts on various platforms that were located in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany.
Authorities claim to have gotten access to two of the three accounts but there was something unusual with them.
“Some of the comments were years old,” a source told the Post. “They didn’t think the language matched what would be expected from a 15- or 16-year-old. So there was some discussion of whether it could have also been his dad or a shared [account].”
The FBI announced that Crooks had no connection to a plot by the Iranian regime to assassinate Trump.
Pakistani national Asif Merchant traveled to Iran before flying to Houston, Texas, where he was released into the country despite being on an FBI watchlist.
Merchant was arrested for working on an assassination plot on behalf of Iran after he tried to hire hitmen.
“They really foot-stomped and went out of their way to make this point… that they see no evidence that or found any connection between the recent unsealed indictment on the Iranian plot and the assassination attempt,” Waltz said.
Waltz was frustrated by the slow pace of the official investigation from the FBI.
“This isn’t an isolated incident that we could just take years to really take our time and unpack,” Waltz stated. “There are ongoing threats as we speak. So yeah, I’m frustrated at how slow and how little we’ve learned.”
With the FBI and the Secret Service conducting their own investigations into Donald Trump’s shooting, the public could never know the truth about what happened that day.
