Rally shooter had photos of Trump, Biden and other U.S. officials on his phone, AP sources say

Won't stop nutters from claiming he was sent out by the DNC.

Investigators searching Thomas Matthew Crooks' devices have also found that the shooter looked up the dates for the Democratic National Convention as well as Trump’s appearances, according to the people who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition on anonymity to discuss details of the ongoing probe.

This really throws the cat amongst the pigeons with regard to motive. Looks like Trump wasn't his only target. Maybe Biden and others.

The FBI has said they are investigating the shooting as a potential act of domestic terrorism but have yet to find a clear ideological motive.

Seems to fit the profile of a would be assassin/mass shooter to a t in this modern age.

Disaffected young man, no friends, issues with sex/relationships, what might be termed an 'incel' .

Had some interest in politics but positions were unformed. Wanted to make a name for himself that might be remembered with some significance.

He got his wish at the cost of his life. And the ultimate result could be a shift in American politics from republic to a more authoritarian model.

Sounds like he was dissatisfied with either option.

I disagree with all the above.

Shooter obviously Dem.aligned super marksman forged by contact with deep state officials pushing a LGBTQ agenda.

Democrats have special psychological campaigns strategy,to disillusioned weak minded Republicans

Without really find out his race background, everyone can tell what is his race when media try to be nice in making story of him.

The left media tried whole hard to make the shooter a republican ........

Even the elementary school kids know how the left and crazy liberals works. They go and take a membership of republican party and work against them inside. Pretending as republican and destroy the party from inside. act as a spy for left.

Suddenly IRAN appeared ...

Soon NK will appear

Now the fake FBI ( no more trust worthy group) started saying the new story.. BIden's photo... ha hah ahaaaa

May be he thought he was shooting at Biden, When he shot Trump..

This is the new story coming up in the left main stream media in a few days... mark my words....

Thomas Matthew Crooks and his family were/are Republicans.

Wallace his mother was a Democrat,his father was a Libertarian

Won't stop nutters from claiming he was sent out by the DNC.

Both sides don't know anything, but one thing I do know and that is factual, Cheatle should resign, not about Trump or Biden, had this happened to Biden under this woman's lack of leadership, I would want this woman to step down, she is a walking disaster and because of the lack of her leadership, it almost got the President killed.

Thomas Matthew Crooks became a person of interest 60 minutes before he fired a shot.

There isn't two sides. It looks more likely he was look for attention or infamy rather than any political motivation.

And if anyone deserves to be sacked, it's the agents who did the site prep. They failed.

The morning dose of garbled syntax, red baiting and conspiracies.

For the investigators looking into Crooks devices his posting history or searches on conspiratorial message boards like /pol might be a good place to start.

And all for what? Going down like another John Wilks Booth.

People still know his name nearly 160 years after he assassinated Lincoln.

Could well be for fame and attention.

Thomas Matthew Crooks had a detonator on him when he was killed and the FBI discovered bombs in his nearby car.

There isn't two sides.

A coin always has two sides, no more, no less.

He did what he did; now he's just a memory.

And if anyone deserves to be sacked, it's the agents who did the site prep. They failed.

No, the buck stops always with the person at the top, why do you think Washington was such a genius? When the guy tried to get at Obama and jumped the white house fence, the head of the Secret Service resigned which was the right and responsible thing to do.

People still know his name nearly 160 years after he assassinated Lincoln.

And that's it, just a memory

Could well be for fame and attention.

He won't know about it.

A coin always has two sides, no more, no less.

Most coins have 3. Some have more.

It's clear - he was a registered Republican, gun-nutter, who all his friends say expressed "conservative views"...

He's just one of the many disaffected MAGA-terrorists who are angry at Trump for caving on his former "never surrender" view that life begins at conception"...

For them, any abortion, including those up to the 15th week, are sacrilegious and whoever supports them are sinners and "baby killers"...

How many more are out there with their assault rifles that Repubs and Red States make easier to get than a library card...

1/3 of Biden voters now trying to claim Trump wasn’t even shot and it was staged.

what a bunch of idiots.

—There isn't two sides.

A coin always has two sides, no more, no less.

Ergo, every incident has only two explanations.

Why do they even describe him as a somewhat talented math genius, with so many miscalculations and deadly outcomes? He's a complete and mind-sick loser.

And all for what? Going down like another John Wilks Booth.

You mean John Wilkes Booth, professor?

Most coins have 3. Some have more.

2, 2 flat circular sides.

Ergo, every incident has only two explanations.

The Dems sadly have none.

It's clear - he was a registered Republican, gun-nutter, who all his friends say expressed "conservative views"...

Who donated to radical liberal causes like ActBlue, Daily Kos, why the interest in Soros??? Odd

He's just one of the many disaffected MAGA-terrorists who are angry at Trump for caving on his former "never surrender" view that life begins at conception"...

Translation, disgruntled Democrats.

For them, any abortion, including those up to the 15th week, are sacrilegious and whoever supports them are sinners and "baby killers"...

?

How many more are out there with their assault rifles that Repubs and Red States make easier to get than a library card...

If Trump wins, lock up your guns the summer of 2020....

Yea, why would a guy who expressed conservative views do that - sounds like far-right gaslighting...

And donating to the radical left to causes NO conservative in the imagination would ever be remotely interested in.

Life begin at conception?

?

ROFL...summer 2020?

As he deflects from these same questions...

Me? I have personally answered your repetitive questions multiple times over the years.

that doesn’t work anymore.

Agree - he didn't donate to them - more far-right gaslighting...

So the cops are lying now?

Does it?

?

And?

And what?

Trump people:

Proof that the secret service did well and is NOT DEI (or at least not the fault of DEI).

(1) Trump lived even if you want to claim the SS is all DEI now

(2) The countersniper is male who too out the Trump shooter is male

(3) Kennedy's security details were pretty much (for the most part at least) white dudes and did not quit with out well for Kennedy, did it???

(4) Today's guns are much deadlier than back in Kennedy and Trump still survived.

There, the secret service did a great job protecting Trump even if you want to bring DEI into the equation, which it really isn't. So Trump didn't DIE with DEI.

The Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee issued a subpoena Wednesday to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle for her to appear before the committee on Monday. Republican have been calling for Cheatle to resign in the wake of the shooting, though she has said she has no intention do so.

Losing her job should be the absolute least that happens to her.

She should also be investigated for criminal negligence -- if not for something even more sinister.

There's only one logical explanation for why a 20-year-old mental patient and kitchen worker was able to bring a high-powered rifle with a range-finder on top of a roof with a clear line of sight to Trump only 150 yards from him.

There's only one explanation for why Trump wasn't pulled off that stage for his own safety, after multiple rally attendees practically begged security forces for a full three minutes to do something about that guy on the roof in firing position with a rifle.

There's only one explanation for why Secret Service snipers had their rifles trained on the guy for at least 30 seconds that could be seen on a video (and who knows how long before that), but took no action until after he had fired at Trump.

There's only one logical explanation for all of this:

Because this assassination attempt was deliberately allowed to happen.

Republican have been calling for Cheatle to resign in the wake of the shooting, though she has said she has no intention do so.

Only a few days after the Secret Service's extreme incompetence (or something more sinister than that) nearly got Donald Trump killed, the agency is focused on what really matters:

Mean comments on Twitter about their female agents.

The agency isn't trying to figure out why they failed to prevent the assassination attempt -- or rather, trying to give us one good reason why we shouldn't believe they deliberately allowed it to occur.

Instead, they're busy valiantly defending their DEI initiatives.

There's only one logical explanation for all of this: Because this assassination attempt was deliberately allowed to happen.

Cue sinister, ominous music, dark rolling clouds, Deep State imagery, swivel eyed youtuber, gullible viewer.

Your 'logical explanation' is a product of a basic lack of logical ability.

An equal opportunity shooter?

Cue sinister, ominous music, dark rolling clouds, Deep State imagery, swivel eyed youtuber, gullible viewer.

What?

Your 'logical explanation' is a product of a basic lack of logical ability.

How so?

What?

I said, "Cue sinister, ominous music, dark rolling clouds, Deep State imagery, swivel eyed youtuber, gullible viewer."

How so?

What?

give us one good reason why we shouldn't believe they deliberately allowed it to occur.

Because that’s a preposterous conspiracy theory.

You mean the secret service personnel on site were all in on this? They were instructed to allow the shooter to shoot?

Preposterous.

"it almost got the President killed"

Biden is/was fine...you must mean the Ex
