In a report from the "Oh, you don't say?" department, a team of private investigators has expressed a strong belief that the man who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump last July was not, in fact, acting alone.
As reported by The New York Post, the investigative team, which was hired by a private client, alleges that Thomas Matthew Crooks was aided by a "criminal network" that may still be intending to kill President Trump.
Doug Hagmann, whose team of six other investigators have been working the case for months and have interviewed more than 100 people, said they also conducted extensive geofencing analysis of cell phones and tablets not belonging to Crooks that were found with him at his home, at the rifle range where he took target practice, at the rally and at Bethel Park High School where he graduated in 2022.
'We don't think he acted alone,' Hagmann told The Post. 'This took a lot of coordination. In my view, Crooks was handled by more than one individual and he was used for this [assassination attempt]. And I wouldn't preclude the possibility that there were people at the rally itself helping him.'
What, you don't buy that a scrawny dude who looks like this could pull off the near assassination of a presidential candidate?
Crooks narrowly missed killing Trump during a campaign speech in Butler Township, Pennsylvania on July 13 in an incident that still has many unanswered questions. One such question is why investigations into the attempted assassination are met with so much resistance.
Hagmann said he was personally escorted to the Butler County line and told to leave twice during the course of his team's investigation. The people who did so were either federal agents or some type of private security.
He added 'one can assist in an operation like this by omission or standing down. There are people still out there involved in this case that need to be brought to justice.'
Hopefully a new Secret Service can work with the new FBI and the new Department of Justice to help keep the new president alive.
The world would appreciate it.
