Reportedly, these videos were originally posted online by Crooks himself.
But, they were scrubbed from the internet after he tried to kill President Trump last July in Butler, PA.
This is kind of strange, considering the FBI told us his online life was non-existent…
I thought we were told he had no digital footprint whatsoever? 🤔
Are you telling me the Biden FBI was lying to us?

On Wednesday, Candace Owens obtained and published these new videos.
The New York Post has more:
The short but jarring undated clips were purportedly posted online by Crooks, 20, but were later “scraped” from the internet after he shot and nearly killed Trump, then the Republican presidential nominee, according to snippets obtained by Candace Owens and published on her podcast Wednesday…
The would-be assassin’s digital footprint has revealed that Crooks had a twisted obsession with assassinations, mass shootings, guns and explosives.
An investigation of a laptop owned by Crooks that was analyzed by the FBI showed the attempted assassin made a Google search for ‘How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?’ on July 6, 2024, just one week before he fired at Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Former FBI director Chris Wray claimed to Congress that Crooks was not on the radar of federal law enforcement organizations prior to the Butler assassination attempt.
ADVERTISEMENTCrooks researched Ethan Crumbley, the Oxford High School shooter who killed four students and injured seven on November 30, 2021.
He also researched other mass casualty events and reportedly looked up how to build explosives, a US official told CNN last year.
One has to wonder what else they have and are keeping hidden from the public on this guy.
It’s been over a year since the Butler assassination attempt and we still know very little about Thomas Matthew Crooks — except that he was once in a Blackrock commercial.
The whole thing is still just so fishy.
