EXCLUSIVE: FBI Admits Its Custody of Crooks’ Body on AGR Building Roof All Night
Republished with permission from AbleChild.
Kash Patel and Danny Bongino, the number one and two at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have, for the second time, gone public with the agency’s conclusion that the alleged Butler, PA shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was the lone shooter. Okay. But they refuse to release the FBI investigation of the attempted assassination and that’s a problem for a number of reasons.
First, despite numerous investigations, including a Congressional Task Force, a Secret Service investigation, a Senate Investigation, the Pennsylvania State Police and others, none have provided any information about how the alleged shooter, who “acted alone,” was identified on the AGR Building.
Recall that the alleged shooter’s body lay on the AGR Building roof all night until 6:30a.m. the following morning. Then, when the Butler County Coroner, William Young III, finally was allowed to go on the roof and conduct his death investigation and identification of the body, it’s anyone’s guess which law enforcement agency had custody of the body all night…until now.
Coroner Young has never made public his investigative notes about how he identified the body – the method – and why he was turned away at midnight when he first tried to make identification of the body and told to return the following day. Who gave Young those orders? More importantly it’s odd that the body would lie on the roof all night.
Does the public trust that there wasn’t any funny business going on? Would Patel and Bongino believe that there wasn’t any funny business? It must be said that even Patel and Bongino in their former lives, who questioned every single FBI investigation, would have been having conniptions about this odd turn of events. Afterall, it isn’t every day that the dead body of a would-be presidential assassin is left at the crime scene all night.
Then, of course, there is the fact that Patel and Bongino provided this “exclusive update” to an unknown Fox News podcaster? Yep, Brooke Singman got the scoop, despite many others who could have actually asked legitimate questions about the FBI investigation. People like Miranda Devine of the New York Post who just last week outed the FBI for failing to report on the alleged shooter Crooks’s online presence. Of course, if you don’t want to have any serious questions asked Singman is the way to go.
The “unprecedented interview” did not provide one piece of physical evidence to the public to support the “lone gunman” conclusion. Patel and Bongino whined that “we have reviewed this case over and over – looked into every nugget…” All the nuggets except what was recently revealed by Miranda Devine?
Moreover, Patel and Bongino assured Fox’s Singman that “the case currently sits in a “pending active status” but “if we get a credible lead, we’ll continue to investigate…” No. That’s not what Patel and Bongino told Maria Bartiromo when Fox’s financial host interviewed them in May of this year. The Director and his Deputy told Bartiromo that the release of the Butler PA investigation couldn’t be released because of two pending court cases. Bartiromo did not ask which cases were holding up the release. Now, it’s about the case being in a “pending active status?”
Patel and Bongino gave a few specifics about the investigation including that “every device in the home was collected and accessed fully.” Good, does the alleged shooter’s father’s phone reveal the exact time and location he made the call to police about his son having a rifle and not returning home from a day at the shooting range? Has the FBI used the alleged shooter’s phone and pinged it to know exactly what Crooks’ movements were the entire day? This would be helpful information to know that Crooks’ phone is in step with his actions that day.
When it comes to physical evidence, Patel and Bongino explain that the alleged shooter Crooks used “a 223 rifle, fired eight rounds in the vicinity of the president.” That’s it. How about the head of FBI and his second answer the most important question… do the recovered projectiles match the alleged weapons? Did the projectiles recovered from Crooks on the roof match the sniper’s weapon? Did the alleged shooter’s projectiles pulled from other victims and area match Crooks alleged weapon? The FBI would have conducted these tests. Why not provide that detail?
Further, Patel and Bongino explain that there was “an undetonated explosive inside Crooks’ vehicle.” Which vehicle? Why not say the make of the vehicle? Maybe because there’s a second vehicle in question that had explosives in it at the rally? Remember local police impounded a white van with Arizona license plates that the owner of the van never returned. It had explosives in it. Were there two vehicles with explosives at the rally? It appears so. Why didn’t Patel and Bongino address the second vehicle with explosives?
So, the most interesting information that was provided by the honchos at FBI is that according to Patel and Bongino, the FBI controlled the crime scene from July 14, 2024, at midnight until July 18, 2024.” Good to know. So, who in the FBI turned away the Butler County Coroner at midnight on the 14th forcing the coroner to make the identification of the alleged shooter’s body at 6:30a.m.? Why? Why would the FBI allow the body to lie on the roof all night? What could be the purpose?
It’s interesting that Patel and Bongino are sure that every nugget has been reviewed but failed to address the alleged shooter’s body lying on the roof all night. Rather, the top law enforcement officials explain “Crooks’ body was removed from the roof by the Pennsylvania state coroner…in coordination with State Police…” No. That’s wrong. The Butler County Coroner removed the body and had it transferred to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner.
Patel also explained that all information had been turned over to Members of Congress investigating the shooting. That’s not true. Contrary to Patel’s statement “there isn’t some trove of documents that we haven’t sent over there,” there actually is a trove – an investigative trove that should be made public, including all DNA, fingerprint and ballistics data. Those reports are imperative because neither Patel nor Bongino have ever reported that the recovered projectiles match the appropriate weapons. Let’s see the ballistics tests.
In fact, it no longer matters what these officials say. What matters is what is found in the FBI investigation. Release it and let the chips fall where they may. The public doesn’t need interpreters. The public can figure out the information provided in the investigative reports.
Patel and Bongino can no longer hide the FBI investigation behind court cases or its “pending status.” The top officials have gone public with the details of the FBI’s investigation and it’s a lone gunman so it’s time to let the public see the investigation.
It’s ironic that these two men who screamed about the lack of transparency in the previous administration, refuse to provide the transparency they promised. Photo Credit: New York Post
