Eerie new photos of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks have raised more questions about the failed assassination attempt.
One of the images captures the 20-year-old Crooks perched on a wall in a grassy area on July 13 at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally - just moments before he opened fire.
In the picture, Crooks can be seen holding up his cell phone - as if chatting to someone on a call. Investigators have still not determined what Crooks' motive was or whether he was indeed acting alone.

Sorry, Ms Williams. But my questions have been answered for a couple of weeks.
But I admit: this new photo is chilling.
Wonder if there is a way to determine who Crooks was talking to? /s

Crooks wasn't acting alone. He had the cooperation of the SS and Joey himself.

The same deep state that attempted 2 unsuccessful impeachments, stole the 2020 election and has been waging lawfare against Donald Trump, the US Constitution and the American people; that is who tried to assassinate Trump. Crooks was a tool.

in Clay Higgins' report, it was interesting to see yet ANOTHER USSS slip-up: local law enorcement had laid out radios
for communication for USSS to use that day - but they didn't pick up. even the worst organizer could not bungle so many elements of this although i am sure incompetence will be the line of defense. also FBI released body for cremation quickly so no way to double check the autopsy. the jigsaw puzzle is coming together and it isn't pretty.

I have twice and will vote for Trump and if anyone doubts my conservative bona fides my comments on L.com going back decades proves my allegiance. But I also want to be logical and deliberate because being so will separate the persistent from the goofy.
The incidents surrounding Trump’s shooting are fishy and can logically point to a deliberate attempt to assassinate him with Secret Service collusion. The picture of Crooks looking at his phone might be evidence of accomplices and worth looking into but, of course, the phone and its records are long gone. The picture of him looking over his shoulder has to be ruled inconclusive at best.
Yesterday, I saw Dan Bongino’s show and he showed an extremely grainy photo supposedly taken of Crooks with a long gun. On July 13th Crooks was wearing a t-shirt and khaki shorts. The person in Bongino’s photo looked like Sasquatch with a hazmat suit on. What it carried could have been a rake for all the clarity the photo provided. Bongino kept stressing his unwillingness to jump to conclusions but clearly intimated that the photo was highly suggestive. Suggestive of what he left to the imagination.
The issue of the cremation of Crook’s body is confusing to me. He was cremated 10 days after he was killed. I’m not a coroner or mortician but it seems like an adequate period to me. Any information his corpse could provide with current scientific knowledge could be gathered by then and, with the deterioration a body undergoes even under refrigeration, 10 days seems generous especially given the fact that he had living parents and others who mourned his death and needed to have closure.

The "remote detonator" could just as easily be a remote garge door opener.
The first time I saw a picture of this kid, my first thought is that he is autistic and easly influenced. I may very well be wrong. I mean, what person in their right mind would attempt to assassinate a president in full view and think that they will get away with it.

I'm almost certain he had an extensive network, using him. First three shots was the real sniper. By then, Trump was prone. Next five were Crooks, covering fire. I'm sure he was told they would be nice, because he was a "kid".
Then Butler SWAT shot him, breaking his rifle.
Then USSS sniper to remove loose lips. Can't risk breaking the narrative of the lone wolf assassin... I'm not sure how many the the Fed Leo's on site were in on the plot - probably only a few. But the rest were a keystone cop parade of unprofessionalism.
The Biden administration tried to murder Trump. No two ways about it.

He was talking to his FBI handler, who was probably telling him not to back out or his dog would be killed.
At this stage in our decline, to expect anything other than dishonor from the feds would be a mistake.

Once again I ask…how did Crooks know that that particular roof would be without security agents?

It was an inside job. We'll never know the complete truth.
