FBI Identifies Trump Shooter as Thomas Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park PA, a Young Man With Far Left Connections.

Just before 3 am EST, the FBI released a statement identifying the shooter at the Trump rally in Butler, PA as Thomas Crooks. The 20 year old white male has links on social media, to several left wing progressive organizations.

This from Laura Loomer on Twitter: "The shooter was named as Thomas Crooks of Bethel Park, PA in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan area. The National Pulse has found Federal Election Commission (FEC) data matching the name to a location in Bethel Park, which–if the same person–shows the shooter was a donor to the Progressive Turnout Project through ActBlue, a left-wing political fundraising platform. The Progressive Turnout Project helps to elect far-left Democrats to Congress and other offices."

From Collin Rugg on Twitter: "Thomas Matthew Crooks ID'd as the suspect who shot at Donald Trump at his PA rally.

Crooks was apparently shot in the head after he tried taking out the former president.

"Crooks was 20-years-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania which was about 40 miles south of the Butler rally. An AR-15 was reportedly recovered at the scene. Crooks was apparently shot in the head after he tried taking out the former president."

The House Oversight committee will conduct hearings on July 22, to find out why this happened, why Trump was so unprotected that a shooter could be on a roof top 150 yards from the former president. Secret Service head Kim Cheatle will have to testify there. Dan Bongino, a former secret Service agent who is now a right wing radio talkshow host, called publicly on Cheatle to resign, saying Trump should have been better protected.

Summarizing Saturday's events, Andy Ngo tweeted: "A bullet meant for Trump's head narrowly missed and struck a person sitting near him at his rally in Pennsylvania. Trump was rushed off stage and was photographed with blood on his ear and face. The suspected sniper was shot dead by the Secret Service. The killing comes after years of the far-left urging for Trump to be assassinated to fight "fascism" and "save democracy."
