FBI finds bombs in Trump shooter Thomas Crooks Matthews' car and home

   
By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter For Dailymail.Com

Published: 13:19 EDT, 14 July 2024 | Updated: 17:07 EDT, 14 July 2024

Donald Trump's would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks had explosives in the car he drove to the Pennsylvania rally and used a firearm purchased by his father.

Authorities found the 'explosive devices' in the 20-year-old's vehicle and home after Secret Service agents shot and killed him seconds after he opened fire on the former president, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Matthew Crooks, 53, legally purchased the AR-15 that his son used to attempt to assassinate Trump on Saturday.

Thomas Crooks killed one rally goer, now revealed to be Corey Comperatore, and critically injured two others who are being treated at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh while attempting to take out Trump.

A bullet struck the former president in his right ear but his campaign says he is otherwise 'fine.'

Crooks, who graduated high school just two years ago, parked his vehicle near the rally site in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday before scaling to the roof of a nearby industrial manufacturing building and targeting Trump.

Authorities claim that after police received multiple reports of suspicious packages near where the shooter parked his car it prompted them to dispatch bomb technicians.

Investigators worked well into the night to make sure the scene was clear, which included searching Crooks' home and speaking with his family.

I'm not familiar with the battle box to which Biden referred in his speechlet tonight.  Is it like beatboxing?

Trump shooting souvenir T-shirts already on sale after assassination attempt

One retailer said it already had more than 2,000 orders for the t-shirts from China and the US

Holly Bancroft    14 hours ago

Souvenir t-shirts picturing the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump have already gone on sale.

The t-shirts use an image of a defiant Trump raising his fist in the air while blood dripped down his cheek from his ear, as Secret Service agents tried to rush him off the stage.

The attack unfolded at around 6.15pm local time on Saturday, just 15 minutes after the former president took to the stage for a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Gunfire rang out in the air and Trump was seen clutching his ear before ducking behind the podium.  .  .

Approval for SS Counter Sniper Team only granted on friday, one day before rally. Not enough time to prepare.

Secret Service team for Trump was ‘mostly temporary replacements.’

Susan Crabtree Threadreader

My latest compilation of reporting: GOP Was Investigating Secret Service Before Assassination Attempt | RealClearPolitics

 🚨New info from a source in the Secret Service community — Trump’s usual protective Secret Service detail was worked so hard (working 7 days a week with no days off) that many of agents assigned Saturday were temporary replacements from different field offices.

This is not the usual protocol for sitting presidents and vice presidents but “typical” for former presidents, (although no former presidents have run again in modern history.)

“Trump has a permanent detail, however it’s much smaller in the amount of bodies,” the source said. “His detail has been worked so hard with all the travel that they’re working 7 days a week with shift changes. so HQ sends in temp agents to supplement - not a good scenario. Mission Failure, IMHO.”
🚨 (cont.) I’m told the only permanent agent from trump’s detail during the rally was SAIC (Special Agent In Charge) Kern, two sources within the Secret Service community told me. All others were temps. Pittsburgh USSS Field Office had a Jill Biden visit and designated a lot of resources to her, the source said. Also - the advance work only occurred one-day beforehand bc of a lack of resources.

Where were the resources?

The Pittsburgh USSS Field Office had a Jill Biden visit and designated a lot of resources to her.

“That is f—-ing unbelievable to me,” the source remarked.
Another Secret Service source says approval for the Counter Sniper Team was only granted the day before the rally - and that is not enough time for a two-man team to do their survey.
(Cont) …”That’s nowhere near enough time - a site like that should have had at least three Secret Service counter-sniper teams at the very least.”

Barf alert.  Straight from the Democrat Party's propaganda arm:

'A commander in chief moment': Inside Biden’s response to the Trump rally shooting

The president’s swift reaction to fast-moving developments this weekend was uncharacteristic for his White House.

Monica Alba  |  July 14, 2024  |  7:43 PM EDT

WASHINGTON — Within an hour after the first shots were fired in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden had been briefed on what had unfolded, he was preparing a written statement condemning it and planning an address the nation, and he had tried to call his rival in the election.

Biden’s swift response Saturday to fast-moving developments is uncharacteristic for a White House that tends to react more slowly to crises than even some of its allies would like. The pace was designed to leave no question about how seriously Biden was taking the attempt to assassinate his political opponent and to set the tone for how he wants to be seen by the country as he navigates one of the most horrific moments in American history.

“This is a commander in chief moment,” a Biden aide said. “He wants to reduce the temperature.”  .  .  .

The video starts exactly 2 minutes prior to the shooting.  People noticed the assassin well before this point, and the police were alerted in plenty of time to get Trump off the stage.  This stinks to high heaven.

Saw a picture of the bullet whizzing past Trump's head, I think it was a NY Times photographer that caught it... unless it was somehow photoshopped... anyhoo, if real, it was a bullet that hit Trump not "fragments" as from a teleprompter as initially assumed... and the shooter actually got off a decent shot at a moving target and did only lack an inch or so of possibly killing Donald.

Basically what saved Trump's life was his head movement during his speech... It was that close.

Secret Service blames local police, says it was tasked with securing properties surrounding Trump’s Pa. rally

https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/secret-service-blames-local-police-says-it-was-tasked-with-securing-properties-surrounding-trumps-pa-rally/

Quote
The Secret Service blamed local police for failing to secure the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, insisting it was outside of the perimeter the federal agency was tasked with protecting.

Instead, securing and patrolling the factory grounds of AGR International Inc. — located about 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking Saturday — was the responsibility of local Pennsylvania police, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi said, according the New York Times.

The Secret Service was only tasked with covering the grounds where Trump’s rally took place, with local police being recruited to assist with those efforts and secure the area outside of the rally.

But neighbors living near Butler Farm Show Grounds told The Post they were never visited by any law enforcement agencies — local or federal — in the days before or during the rally.

“Nobody contacted me. Nobody. Nobody called me, nobody stopped here,” said Valerie Fennell, whose home backs up on the fair grounds and is just beyond a stand of trees from AGR.

“I kinda was thinking that as close as my house is, that I honestly thought this might be part of a command station at some point,” she said.

Not so fast the locals say...

Rooftop where gunman shot at Trump was identified as a security vulnerability before rally: sources

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-rally-shooting-secret-service-identified-rooftop-security-flaw-rcna161783

Quote
The rooftop where a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally was identified by the Secret Service as a potential vulnerability in the days before the event, two sources familiar with the agency’s operations told NBC News.

The building, owned by a glass research company, is adjacent to the Butler Farm Show, an outdoor venue in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service was aware of the risks associated with it, the sources said.

(snip)

The Secret Service had designated that rooftop as being under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement, a common practice in securing outdoor rallies, Guglielmi said.Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger said his office maintains an Emergency Services Unit team, which deployed four sniper teams and four “quick response teams” at the rally. But he said the Secret Service agents were in charge of security outside the venue.

“They had meetings in the week prior. The Secret Service ran the show. They were the ones who designated who did what,” Goldinger said. “In the command hierarchy, they were top, they were No. 1.”

Goldinger said the commander of the Emergency Services Unit told him it was not responsible for securing areas outside the venue. “To me, the whole thing is under the jurisdiction of the Secret Service. And they will delineate from there,” he said.

The USSS blaming Butler police is about as low as it goes. But what do we expect of this administration.  Ultimately, Mayorkas oversees the agency, and he answers to Biden, so we're talking about two of the biggest liars in DC.
