Phone Interview Thursday, August 14, 2024 with Bradford Arick, FBI Public Affairs Specialist

Question:

The FBI has hacked into Thomas Crooks’ phone and released information about several politicians that apparently was on that phone. Why was that selective information released and not specific information such as if the father was looking for his son the day of the shooting, as has been reported by numerous news organizations. Senator Grassley’s office released the log of the shooting range; it is in conflict with the father’s call.

FBI Answer: No information either way.

Question: Why hasn’t the FBI held a press conference on where the investigation stands? Do you think the public has a right to know?

FBI Answer: We have very much engaged the press and did a press conference. The FBI has been exceedingly transparent more so than usual.

Senator Grassley Releases Shooting Log of Crooks, Contradicts Father’s Call to Police

Something just doesn’t seem right with the Crooks family. Above and beyond the possibility that their son tried to take out a former U.S. President, murder one and wound two others and everything that goes with that, the Crooks just seem odd, beginning with the alleged nagging phone call placed by the father to the Butler Police the day of the attempted assassination.

Remember that Thomas Brian Crooks, the father of the alleged shooter, told law enforcement that according to CBS News “Matthew Crooks called police before the shooting at the rally, concerned about his son and his whereabouts.” Fox News explained it this way. “Thomas Matthew Crooks’ parents were looking for him on Saturday in the hours leading up to the Trump rally shooting and eventually called law enforcement to indicate that he was missing, and they were worried.” Fox further embellished that “it’s unclear what his parents’ told authorities, but the call happened on Saturday before Crooks later opened fire at Trump during the rally in Butler…”

It would appear that the U.S. Military is going down the path of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when it comes to providing detailed mental health information. The recent release of the investigation on Maine shooter Robert Card by the U.S. Army Inspector General is chock full of useless information, but missing what many would argue is most important…what psychiatric drugs Card was prescribed prior to his murderous rampage.

Can’t any government agency ever just provide a straight answer? Apparently not. The Inspector General’s (IG) investigation basically rehashes what the media already has repeated ad nauseam… Robert Card was hearing voices, his behavior had regressed, and his family and co-workers were concerned about him, worrying he may hurt himself or others.

While grateful for the IG’s recap, it was the one and only new piece of information that the IG provided that really matters. The IG, unlike anyone on the State of Maine’s Independent Commission, at least, finally, let us know what Card had been diagnosed with. Here’s how it went for the Army Sergeant.

Crime Scene Compromised. Alleged Assassin’s Autopsy Missing. What’s Going On?

On August 2^nd many news outlets reported that the autopsy of Thomas Matthew Crooks had been released by the Butler County Coroner’s office. The fact is that mainstream media is late to the party and the Butler County Coroner’s office released the cause and manner of death of Thomas Matthew Crooks to AbleChild nearly two weeks earlier on July 21st.

Unfortunately, what the mainstream media doesn’t understand is that the cause and manner of death is not an autopsy and, although an autopsy has already been conducted on the alleged body of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the results of that autopsy may never see the light of day.

That’s right. Along with so many other aspects of this “investigation” the public may never get to know the details of the alleged assassin’s autopsy. And, while the autopsy shuffle is interesting, the questions regarding chain of custody of that body that need to be asked of the Butler County Coroner, William F. Young III, are even more compelling. So, let’s first recap the case of the missing autopsy.

Did Father Call Shooter Prior to Assassination Attempt? Call to Police is Missing.

It has been widely reported that the father of the alleged would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, in search of his son, made a phone call to law enforcement prior to the assassination attempt, but there doesn’t appear to be any record of that call. How is that possible? More importantly, is that the only call that the father made when trying to locate his son?

Is the missing phone call just another anomaly in what is turning out to be a long list of weird, bizarre and unbelievable shenanigans that make up the story line of this attempted assassination?

The BBC, for example, reported on July 18th that “The father of the gunman who tried to assassinate Donald Trump called police before the Saturday shooting because he was concerned about his son.” Additionally, the BBC explains, “Matthew Crooks’ father called police because he was worried about his son and his whereabouts, a law enforcement source told the BBC’s new partner CBS. It’s unclear when the call was made but it was before the shooting.”

FBI Giving Special Treatment to Crooks’ Mental Health “Expert” Parents

VIDEO: “I GOTTA PEE”

It’s no surprise that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seems to have ignored the glaring mental health component within the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump and the murder and injuries of Trump rally attendees, considering its refusal to connect mental health “treatment” to any of the mass shootings. In fact, the recently released report from the FBI regarding what it considered were common factors in mass shootings completely ignored and excluded mental health treatments.

FBI Director Wray’s entire focus is on the alleged shooter testifying before lawmakers that the FBI believes Thomas Mathew Crooks is the lone gunman. However, the FBI, so far, has failed to provide any physical evidence to prove that Thomas Matthew Crooks actually is the lone shooter. It took the FBI director almost three weeks to give the public the make and model of the weapon allegedly used, an important piece of information it was aware of the evening of the assassination attempt. Why withhold that information for three weeks? But that does not put the weapon in the hands of Thomas Matthew Crooks. For that to occur, the public will need to see the ballistics, DNA, and fingerprint test results. We’re waiting. Just as mysterious as the missing physical evidence, it is odd to say the least that Crooks family seems to be treated with kid gloves. Why?

FBI Silence Breeds Conspiracies on Assassination Attempt

It’s been nearly three weeks since the attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump and the public has learned very little about what exactly occurred that warm July afternoon. So just for the fun of it, let’s consider the confirmed information and what still is a mystery.

Let’s be honest, to date, no confirmed information about the alleged would-be assassin has been made public. So, we’ll just move on to what still is a mystery.

First, the public has not been provided with the make, model or serial number of the weapon that allegedly was fired during the assassination attempt.

The public also has not been provided with the DNA and fingerprint results proving that Thomas Matthew Crooks was the shooter. The public should also be apprised of whether the DNA and fingerprints taken from the would-be shooter match those on the weapon.

Just as important, have ballistics tests been conducted that prove that all the recovered projectiles match the barrel of the weapon reportedly used by the alleged gunman on the AGR building roof? Collecting eight bullet casings from the roof of the AGR building does not prove the projectiles recovered from the scene and victims came from that weapon. And, just as important, the FBI should also provide ballistics data to prove what projectile from what weapon killed the alleged shooter.

FBI Needs to Back Up Lone Gunman Theory with Make & Model of Weapon & Ballistics Findings

Eleven days after the near assassination of former President Donald Trump, the public still has received zero specific information about the attack, including what is the make and model of the alleged weapon and whether have they collected the projectiles that were fired, and do those projectiles match that alleged weapon? Also have there been DNA and fingerprints taken from the weapon and do those match that of the alleged shooter? This information is necessary to prove what weapon was used and by whom.

The ballistics, DNA and fingerprint results ultimately are key to “proving” whether Crooks was the lone shooter. Law enforcement has not provided any information about the projectiles recovered but, it is interesting that law enforcement has acknowledged that eight shell casings had been collected from the roof of the AGR building. Whoopdafriggindo!

AbleChild posted an exclusive article on July 18^th revealing that the Allegany County, PA coroner’s office had conducted the autopsy on Thomas Matthew Crooks and according to Jessica in the coroner’s office the manner of death was homicide, and the cause of death was a gunshot wound. However, the coroner’s office refused to provide any details about the date and time the body had arrived at the office and what tests had been conducted during the autopsy, such as a toxicology report which would include test for psychiatric drugs if the shooter had a mental health diagnosis.

Contrary to several news articles, including FOX News and TMZ, the Coroner’s office did not publicly provide information about where the shooter, Thomas Mathew Crooks, was shot…that is where on his body. According to Fox, TMZ and other news organizations, “Crooks died from a gunshot wound to the head.” The coroner’s office only provided the following information: the cause of death is gunshot and manner of death is homicide. The coroner’s office did not make public where on the shooter’s body the gunshot occurred.

Autopsy of Shooter Reveals Gunshot Wound & Homicide

Every day since the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the public and news outlets have been begging for morsels of any information that may provide some reason for the attempted attack that left one dead, two wounded and President Trump left alive by only millimeters.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the lead investigative agency in this attack. So far, its investigation is lacking in so many areas it’s hard to know where to start. Five days after the attack the public still is looking at High School photos of the would-be assassin, though he was reportedly twenty years old. Why? Certainly, the shooter must have a more recent photo than High School.

Additionally, the public has been told that the would-be assassin drove a blue Hyundai Sonata, a white minivan that was towed from the scene with explosive devices and the would-be assassin’s bicycle with a backpack. Couldn’t have driven all three. And where are the security camera data from buildings in the area? Wouldn’t that show, at a minimum, the shooter’s movements throughout the day?
