I dunno, folks, if I was a conspiracy-minded man I might think something really alarming was going on here:

As you can see, as part of his inquiry into the Trump assassination attempt, prepared for the House Bi-Partisan Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Former President Donald Trump, Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins attempted to view the body of wannabe killer Thomas Crooks.

And what he found was, well, a bit weird:

My effort to examine Crooks' body on Monday, August 5, caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact… the FBI released the body for cremation 10 days after J13. On J23, Crooks was gone. Nobody knew this until Monday, August 5, including the County Coroner, law enforcement, Sheriff, etc. Yes, Butler County Coroner technically had legal authority over the body, but I spoke with the Coroner, and he would have never released Crooks' body to the family for cremation or burial without specific permission from the FBI.

Well that's weird.

The body of a political assassin is just gone and it goes unmentioned for nearly half a month. And as Higgins notes, Crooks's missing body poses difficulties for the congressional inquiry:

The problem with me not being able to examine the actual body is that I won't know 100% if the coroner's report and the autopsy report are accurate. We will actually never know.

Higgins's inquiry is still preliminary; as he notes, they have not yet even begun to explore Crooks himself, his background, his history. "We will," Higgins writes. "We're just getting started."

Let's hope the rest of the evidence is, you know, better-preserved than the shooter's body.
