FBI Finds Suspicious Message Linked to Trump Assassination Attempt: Report
Investigators have found a suspicious message linked to the would-be Trump assassin who attempted to kill the former president in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
They also found some questionable recent Google searches, per OSINTdefender.
The perpetrator of this heinous act has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks; a 20-year-old whose former classmates once nicknamed him “school shooter.”
OSINTdefender reported that the FBI found the chilling message from Crooks on the digital gaming platform known as Steam.
This came just before Crooks’ near-assassination of Trump.
“July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,” the alarming message read.
The FBI also found Google searches that raised “red flags,” per OSINTdefender. These included “Trump,” “Biden,” “When is DNC Convention,” and “July 13 Trump Rally.”
The outlet further noted, however, “despite all of this a motive to his attack has still not been discovered.”
The FBI successfully accessed Crooks’ phone earlier this week, despite having issues doing so initially.
Fox News reported that the bureau announced this breakthrough in a press release, stating that their technical specialists are now analyzing Crooks’ electronic devices.
The weapon used in the attack, identified as a DPMS AR-15 5.56, has been transferred to the FBI’s forensic labs in Quantico, Virginia.
Accompanying the firearm are Crooks’ phone, laptop and at least one Improvised Explosive Device discovered in his vehicle.
Questions were raised over Crooks’ items after a photo of his phone and transmitter, which was reportedly found near his body after he was killed by the Secret Service, was released.
Law enforcement sources revealed to Fox on Monday that the FBI has completed its search of Crooks’ residence and car.
The search yielded over a dozen firearms found in his home. Family members of the suspect continue to cooperate with investigators.
The investigation has gained attention from high-ranking officials.
House Homeland Security Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) and Ranking Member Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) held discussions with FBI Executive Assistant Director Robert Wells on Monday regarding the case’s status and next steps.
A House Security Committee Spokesperson said, “The FBI is focused on the gunman, his motive, any potential associations, building a timeline of events, and related matters, while the Secret Service is conducting a separate review of its security protocol.”
“Chairman Green is pleased to know the FBI has so far conducted nearly 100 interviews, and has access to the gunman’s phone. Chairman Green was assured by EAD Wells that the FBI intends to be transparent with Congress during its investigation.”
“Chairman Green intends to schedule a site visit, if possible, once the scene has been processed, and looks forward to being briefed by USSS as soon as possible, as do Committee Members.”
Trump broke his silence on Monday, sharing his perspective on the near-fatal incident. “I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” he told the New York Post.
He credited his survival to either luck or divine intervention.
Trump recounted that a slight turn of his head to read an immigration chart may have saved his life, causing the bullet to graze him instead of inflicting a fatal wound.
He praised the Secret Service agents for their swift action, describing them as “linebackers” and noting that one agent neutralized the gunman with a precise shot “right between the eyes.”
The former president expressed gratitude for the Secret Service’s response, stating, “They did a fantastic job. It’s surreal for all of us.”

“…He praised the Secret Service agents for their swift action, describing them as “linebackers” and noting that one agent neutralized the gunman with a precise shot “right between the eyes.”
Yeah. Well, if the SS sniper had time for that precise of a shot, he had time to shoot the suspect before he fired at all. A hippie boy in a T-shirt pointing a rifle at Trump should have simply been shot first and reported over the radio after he was neutralized. Just like if a civilian drawing a pistol within a few yards of the protectee would have been shot without anyone waiting for higher approval. The director of USSS has already ensnared herself in this conspiracy, and the on scene commander, as of now still anonymous, is also clearly a party to this little caper. I can accept a certain degree of unprofessionalism from the small town cops near the AGG building as just that, but the SS sniper teams also had to have known that they were looking at a gunman who was going to get some shots off. Commo problems or Bogus ROE be damned, any reasonable officer with normal concern for the safety of the protectee would have taken the shot well before Trump was hit. I can only conclude that the sniper teams are also guilty of playing along with this feigned incompetence the USSS is trying to sell us.
Please, will some ballistically knowledgeable operators explain how soy boy, directly to Trump’s front, shot him in his right ear? Trump turned his head to his right narrowly avoiding a kill shot coming from his right. The right side of Trump’s head was completely out of the sight line from the white roof microcephalic shit for brains MKUltra patsy. The bullet passed from right to left.
There was at least one real shooter and it wasn’t some doofus!!!!
“The FBI is focused on the gunman…” Sure, just not the real one. All according the Assassination 101 Protocol.
