Tucker Carlson Exposes Trump Assassination Oddities

There are some news stories that should be picked up by the mainstream media and broadcast on the evening news magazine shows if the legacy media had any

There are some news stories that should be picked up by the mainstream media and broadcast on the evening news magazine shows if the legacy media had any credibility at all. This is the main reason many of us independent’s on the Internet write for you. We sift through all kinds of podcasts and online new information until we find things that give us an, “Oh my God!”, moment.

A recent news report by former Fox News channel now independent podcaster Tucker Carlson gives one such moment. His leader on his video says this, “The FBI told us Thomas Crooks tried to kill Donald Trump last summer but somehow had no online footprint. The FBI lied, and we can prove it because we have his posts. The question is why?”

The story involves President Donald Trump’s would be Butler, Pennsylvania assassin Thomas Crooks and the incredible lack of information known about him some 16 months after the attempt. The FBI seemingly has been engaged in a combination of both stonewalling and outright lying to the media news reporters and the general public in their quest to get further information on Crooks and now Carlson has determined a possible reason why.

A tipster to Carlson using high end Internet sleuthing techniques and software has managed to divulge information from Thomas Crooks past footprint on the Internet before the assassination attempt and it offers a disturbing scenario.

There is evidence Thomas Crooks was a big time fan of President Donald Trump before something made him flip and turn 180 degrees against Trump. One example dug out of a past post he made on YouTube from July 20, 2019 offered this:

“I hope a quick painful death to all of the deplorable immigrants and anti-trump congresswoman who don’t deserve anything this country has given them.”

This post was an obvious reference to the 4 immigrant Democrat women of Congress who have adopted the nickname of “The Squad”.

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Represents New York’s 14th congressional district. She is American born of Puerto Rican descent.
  • Ilhan Omar: Represents Minnesota’s 5th congressional district. She is a Somalian immigrant.
  • Ayanna Pressley: Represents Massachusetts’ 7th congressional district. She is American born.
  • Rashida Tlaib: Represents Michigan’s 13th congressional district. She is American born of Palestinian descent.

At some point an unknown individual by the name of Willy Tepes seems to enter the picture of Thomas Crooks life and he begins to change swinging from right to left politically. Crooks transformation seemed to begin in 2020 according to Internet search history uncovered by TCN.

Crooks went from being pro-Trump and MAGA to researching how to make bombs, perform mass killings with vehicles, and assassinations. His sudden interest in firearms and target practice was new and unusual as his Internet rhetoric also was. 

Carlson also reports that about this same time the FBI was hiring independent contractors to monitor people online. Those companies contracted were Dataminr and Venntel according to a report by Lee Fang in “The Intercept”.

CNN did a report titled “Takeaways on the Senate Hearing About the Trump Assassination Attempt and Secret Service Failure” that revealed the FBI was withholding information on the assassination.

FBI Director Christopher Wray of last year actually questioned whether an assassin’s bullet grazed President Trump’s ear without evidence or rationale.

Carlson notes all of the irregularities of the handling of Thomas Crooks evidence after the assassination involving the FBI as:

1. Rapid cremation of the body of Thomas Crooks so soon after the event to prohibit a forensic autopsy.

2. Hosing off the roof of the building where Thomas Crooks’ blood and bodily tissues were.

3. The uniform of the FBI agent seen hosing off the roof of the factory where Crooks was taken down by a police sniper reads, “FBI Technical Hazardous Response Unit”.

4. The FBI had Crooks’ cellphone unlocked in less than an hour using an Israeli tech firm named Cellebrite.

5. FBI officials under Joe Biden found Crooks phone had encrypted messages between contacts in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany yet none of this was referenced in the final Congressional Report of the assassination in December of 2024.

According to current FBI Director Kash Patel the reason why the FBI is being tightlipped is because two cases are ongoing in the court system.

Carlson points out that Crooks is dead so there is no case under the first assassination attempt so there is no good reason to conceal facts and information on the first assassination attempt.

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson (R) has subpoenaed the FBI related to information about Thomas Crooks for his Congressional investigation and they have remained unresponsive.

CONCLUSION:    

This news story is problematic for many reasons.

First, the intelligence community of the United States of America works for WE, THE PEOPLE, and are funded by our taxpayer dollars. This means they are beholding to us to be transparent open and honest.

Second, the personality change in Thomas Crooks reminds those of us old enough to remember older American history of the mind control MK-Ultra Project of the CIA.

Third, there is an appearance that the intelligence community of our country has gone rouge and is without accountability to the point some now refer to it as “The Fourth Branch of Government” or “The Deep State”. The implication is the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch no longer run the country and the Intelligence Community does not answer to them… even when subpoenaed to do so!

It is a well-known fact that President Trump has been made aware of Arthur Schlesinger’s full 15-page memo calling for JFK to break up the CIA in 1961. Kennedy was assassinated 2 years later.

Even after the official Warren Report that was the Congressional investigation of that assassination was released, the Warren Commission’s John McCloy had “serious doubts” about the JFK investigation. He didn’t rule out multiple shooters and questioned the Oswald lone gunman theory, even as the FBI told the press Oswald acted alone.

In the end, Thomas Crooks is dead, there is no trial needed for him unless others were involved. Cell phone tracking data produced shortly after the assassination imply that others may have been involved within Washington, D.C. and around the world!
