Claim: Assassin Thomas Crooks Might Have Had Accomplices

I don't believe this at all, but judge for yourself.

A veteran private investigator from Erie, Penn., who was hired shortly after the fateful July 13 event at Butler Farm to look into Crooks by a private client, told The Post he believes a "criminal network" was operating with him at the time of the assassination attempt, is still in existence and still wants 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."

Hagmann said one of the electronic devices geolocated with Crooks at several different places at the time of the shooting is still pinging today -- at Bethel Park High School.

...

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."

FBI officials who served under President Biden accessed Crooks' phone, computer and his encrypted messaging apps in Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany, according to current National Security adviser Mike Waltz, a former GOP congressman. However, they have been very tight-lipped about what they found.

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.), who has also been investigating Crooks' assassination attempt for months, has not seen Hagmann's geofencing data but downplayed its significance. He told The Post he believes Crooks acted alone and there was no conspiracy. However, he also said the FBI continually obstructed his investigation.

Meh. There's not a "real story" behind everything.
