Who Really Shot President Trump in Butler, PA One Year Ago on July 13th?

ABLECHILD shared a report on the anniversary of July 13th where it becomes clear that the investigation of the assassination of President Trump is more of a cover-up than an effort to get to the truth.

Included in its report, AbleChild asks:

The American people are told that the FBI conducted extensive investigations, gaining access to the alleged shooter’s devices, searched his residence and reviewed digital media and video footage. That’s wonderful. Good job. Where’s the final report?

How bout the FBI release its final report of its investigation, including the complete ballistics report, all DNA and fingerprint information, all information relating to the alleged shooter’s phone (including tracking his pings the day of the shooting) and, of course, the mysterious autopsy report of the alleged shooter that Congressional Task Force Chair, Congressman Kelly, says the American people can’t handle.

JD Wilcox also asks the question, “Who Shot Trump?”

Wilcox created a website with the same title and a documentary that is coming out on the one-year anniversary of the attempted assassination of President Trump on July 13.

Wilcox discussed his thoughts on the assassination with Grant Stinchfield a few weeks ago.

Helen Comperatore Says She Still Has “No Answers” on Her Husband’s Death at Butler, PA Trump Rally – Demands Secret Service Tell Her Everything that Happened to Allow Would-be Trump Assassin to Kill Corey Comperatore

In an emotional interview on Saturday, Helen Comperatore, the wife of Corey Comperatore, reflected on the murder of her husband at a Trump rally during the failed attempt on President Trump’s life on July 13, 2024. 

Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks was able to climb on top of a roof next to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally and put Trump in his scope.

A bullet grazed President Trump’s ear on July 13, 2024, during his Pennsylvania rally. Corey Comperatore was fatally struck in the head. Two other rally attendees were wounded, one critically.

Comperatore dove in front of his family to shield them from the gunfire.

Crooks fired the shot on top of a nearby building, where Secret Service counter-snipers had a clear view of the shooter from their position at a higher elevation than the shooter behind Trump, yet they did not act. Crooks accessed the building with a ladder he bought at Home Depot the same day as the shooting.

Additionally, as The Gateway Pundit reported, an eyewitness told the BBC that several people witnessed the shooter crawling on the roof of a local building with a rifle before Trump was shot, but they did not act until Trump was shot. According to later reports, a police officer encountered the shooter on the roof but let him go after he pointed the gun at him and before he shot Trump.

Investigations into the matter have left more questions than answers. For example, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s excuse for leaving the building unmonitored by agents was that the building “has a sloped roof at its highest point” and it wouldn’t be safe.

Helen Comperatore questioned, “Why was that such a failure that day? What was the reason? Why did he walk around for an hour without someone grabbing him?”

“We have no answers,” she said. “I want to sit down with the Secret Service, and I want them to tell me everything that happened that day. I want to know why they failed. I want to know what happened.”

Minnesota Lawmaker Assassin Says Motive ‘Didn’t Involve Trump Stuff or Pro-Life’

Vance Luther Boelter, the man accused of the targeted assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, has claimed that his motive “didn’t involve Trump stuff or pro-life.”

The brazen attack, which also left State Senator John Hoffman and his wife injured in a separate shooting in Champlin, has sent shockwaves through the state and nation, with authorities labeling it a “politically motivated” act of terror.

Speaking to the New York Post from Sherburne County Jail, Boelter said that his motive was not what people have speculated.

“You are fishing and I can’t talk about my case…I’ll say it didn’t involve either the Trump stuff or pro-life,” Vance Boelter wrote to The Post.

“I am pro-life personaly [sic] but it wasn’t those,” he said. “I will just say there is a lot of information that will come out in future that people will look at and judge for themselves that goes back 24 months before the 14th. If the gov ever let’s [sic] it get out.”

Boelter was appointed by Walz in 2019 to serve on the Governor’s Workforce Development Board and lead an international security firm.

Butler, PA, One Year Later: Alleged Would-Be Trump Assassin’s Motive Remains a Mystery

Investigators and journalists appear to remain at a loss as to what motivated 20-year-old Thomas Crooks to allegedly try to kill Donald Trump as the first anniversary of the assassination attempt on then-former president and candidate Donald Trump approaches on July 13.

That mystery prevailed even in an extensive CBS’s report this week, which the network described as the “most comprehensive portrait” of Crooks to date — based on interviews “with more than two dozen friends, professors, law enforcement officials and others, as well as open records requests to half a dozen agencies and a review of thousands of documents.”

Despite all the legwork, CBS concluded:

He left no manifesto, no explanation for why he tried to kill the former and future president. In the year since the shooting, investigators and those who knew him have been trying to piece together what led him to climb that roof in Butler, with frustratingly few answers.

It is not the only news outlet left wondering.

Fox News  and even the newspaper closest to the alleged shooter, the Butler Eagle, came to the same conclusion — that Crooks was leading a secretive double life that provided no clues as to motive up until the time of the assassination attempt.

The fact that Crooks kept to himself wouldn’t even have raised an alarm, the CBS report suggests, because he’d consistently done so his entire life.

What’s left is a mysterious portrait of a bright community college student who went from planning a career in engineering to dying on a rooftop after allegedly firing shots at Trump, wounding him in the ear, killing one rally-goer and critically wounding two others in the spray of gunfire.

The network spoke to Tristan Radcliffe, who had known Crooks since kindergarten and saw him almost daily but never received an invitation to the family’s home.

Radcliffe told the network that really didn’t bother him, saying,  “He always seemed like he focused on his work more, you know, like he came off smart.”

Crooks enrolled in the Community College of Allegheny County in 2022 after his high SAT scores put him in the 99th percentile nationally, the network reported. He told an advisor he was saving up for a four-year engineering program. One former engineering professor there called him a “star student.”

One Year Later, Where is The Final FBI Investigation on The Trump Assassination Attempt?

Given the recent shift in reality by the nation’s top law enforcement agencies regarding whether there is or isn’t a “client list” of the late pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, it seems completely possible that law enforcement may report that the assassination attempt on President Trump never happened.

In the event there actually was an assassination attempt in Butler PA, resembling what American’s thought they saw, one can only wonder, on the one-year anniversary of the event, when the federal investigation will be released…if ever? The problem with the administration’s law enforcement is transparency. It’s been a year since the shooting and nothing, nada, zip, a big hole in a donut.

Given the lack of investigative information, it appears that there are an awful lot of people hell-bent on not releasing all the information about what occurred on July 13th in Butler, PA. Why? There sure is a lot of information that needs to be made public.

First, what we have gleaned from all the pathetic investigations provided by the U.S. Senate, the House Task Force, the Secret Service review and a Department of Homeland Security independent review is that the Secret Service dropped the ball. Yep. These geniuses spent time and big money to concluded what every American already knew. Congratulations.

Now, what we don’t know is anything about the alleged shooter and his family. Why? The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) apparently took the lead role in the investigation, yet the last “update” provided by the FBI was last August.

The American people are told that the FBI conducted extensive investigations, gaining access to the alleged shooter’s devices, searched his residence and reviewed digital media and video footage. That’s wonderful. Good job. Where’s the final report?

How bout the FBI release its final report of its investigation, including the complete ballistics report, all DNA and fingerprint information, all information relating to the alleged shooter’s phone (including tracking his pings the day of the shooting) and, of course, the mysterious autopsy report of the alleged shooter that Congressional Task Force Chair, Congressman Kelly, says the American people can’t handle.

Note to Congressman Kelly. The American people can handle it. In fact, the American people want the facts that so far are being withheld. In a nutshell, the American people want the truth.

The FBI final report should include all the above data which should cement that Thomas Matthew Crooks was, in fact, the shooter. So far, what has been released by the Congressional Task Force does not positively identify Crooks as the shooter as none of the collected and tested projectiles have been positively identified as coming from the alleged shooter’s alleged weapon. This is no small deal.

No information as to whether Crooks’s fingerprints and DNA were on the alleged weapon has been made public. There is no video showing Crooks as the person on the roof of the AGR building. Law enforcement says Crooks is the shooter, but there is no physical evidence supporting this statement.

Without Crooks’s autopsy, it’s impossible to know if the body that was cremated was actually Thomas Matthew Crooks. Furthermore, why didn’t the FBI release the phone records of Crooks and his father. Afterall, the public has been told that the father tried contacting his son all day. Well, let’s see the evidence of those calls. That’s physical evidence that’s as easy as it gets.

And how could his parents (both reportedly mental health experts) know that their son was acting strangely in his room but didn’t notice the bombs being made in the same room? Sound just a little strange to anyone?

And let’s not forget that the Pennsylvania State Police conducted its own investigation which just happens to be classified. Why? For God’s sake! Just provide the report and let the American people decide what happened. Is Corey Comperatore’s widow allowed to see the Pennsylvania State Police report or is she being forced to sue for it? Why?

Finally, any report that is released by the FBI must explain what happened to the White Van that police surrounded that evening on the outskirts of the rally grounds where explosives were found and the van was removed by police. Was there more than one alleged assassin? Who owned the van? What happened to the owner of the van? Why didn’t the owner return to the van? Where did the owner of the van get the explosives? Whose fingerprints were removed from the van?

There are a zillion other questions that need to be answered about what actually happened last July 13th in Butler PA. Just release the report and the American people can figure out whether it’s a competent investigation of just more stonewalling. But it’s time. It’s time for the Trump Administration to release the FBI investigation about the assassination attempt on then candidate Trump. The American people are smart and will know if it’s a twist in reality. After the Epstein debacle, the American people have their antenna up.

AG Pam Bondi Responds to Why One Minute is Missing from DOJ’s Epstein Prison Video as First Reported by The Gateway Pundit

President Trump convened a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday to discuss Texas flooding response, trade, tariffs, foreign policy and other topics.

A reporter asked US Attorney General Pam Bondi about the missing minute in the newly released footage released by the DOJ on Sunday.

On Sunday night AXIOS reported on a new FBI, DOJ memo obtained by Axios concludes Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list that he used for blackmail.

The FBI earlier determined that Epstein did commit suicide in August 2019.

“After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10, 2019. This conclusion is consistent with previous findings, including the August 19, 2019 autopsy findings of the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the November 2019 position of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York in connection with the investigation of federal correctional officers responsible for guarding Epstein, and the June 2023 conclusions of DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General,” the memo stated.

the DOJ-FBI also released a 10-hour video on Sunday from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell.

** The full video is posted at the DOJ website here.

The Gateway Pundit confirmed that an entire minute was cut from the DOJ video that was released last night. Why? What are they hiding?

If you follow the full video you can see for yourself that the video is cut off at 11:59:00.

Jason Sullivan at The Gateway Pundit was first to discover that an entire minute was missing from the DOJ video.

County prosecutor explains why charges against 3 local men who put cats into trash compactor have been dropped

Elkhart County Prosecutor Vicki Elaine Becker announced the formal charges against three former Jayco employees filed earlier this week, stemming from alleged animal cruelty at Jayco, have been dismissed due to the need for further investigation and clarification of facts and circumstances documented during the investigation.

Becker says a scrivener’s error, which was found in the Probable Cause Affidavit filed in support of the original charges, provoked additional investigative questions.

The county prosecutor says that error attributed a statement to Devon Miller as follows:

“Ptl. Yutzy spoke with Devon Miller, the vice president of operation at Jayco, who indicated the men acted in the company’s best interest by placing the live cats into the trash compactor.”

Becker says the phrase is not accurate and there is “no evidence documented in the police investigation to suggest that Mr. Miller endorsed, or approved of, the decisions or the behaviors of the three employees.”

Once the prosecutor’s office was notified of the discrepancy, officials made further inquiries regarding the facts and circumstances of the allegations.

The prosecuting attorney is “awaiting the results of that additional investigation, which has impacted the veracity of the original charging decision.”

Becker says a Motion to Dismiss each case was filed before anyone’s liberty was affected by an arrest.

Officials say until the additional information can be meaningfully considered, any amended charging decision will not be made.

The county prosecutor’s office added no interviews will be afforded at this time as they await further evidence before any additional official actions will be undertaken.

12 Key Questions That All Americans Should Ask About The Shameful Attempt To Cover Up The Truth About Jeffrey Epstein

Apparently we are supposed to believe that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t have a client list, he never blackmailed anyone, and he was solely responsible for his own death…

A Justice Department and FBI review of the investigation related to disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein found that there was no “client list” or evidence that he blackmailed prominent figures, according to a memo detailing the findings.

The review also concluded that Epstein died by suicide while in custody at a Manhattan correctional facility in August 2019. Epstein was facing federal sex trafficking charges, and his death was subsequently investigated by the Justice Department’s internal watchdog and the FBI.

The Justice Department and FBI said in their memo that video footage reviewed by bureau investigators — and made available to the public — confirmed that Epstein was locked in his cell and nobody entered tiers of the unit where he was housed at the time of his death.

The Justice Department and the FBI are now facing an unprecedented credibility problem, because millions of us simply do not believe them.

After everything that has happened, the American people deserve some answers.  The following are 12 important questions that all Americans should be asking about the shameful attempt to cover up the truth about Jeffrey Epstein.

#1 Why were Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell arrested and charged with operating an enormous sex trafficking ring that supposedly involved thousands of clients if no such clients ever existed?  As Robby Starbuck has pointed out, apparently we are supposed to believe that all of the powerful men that visited Epstein’s island were “just there to catch some waves and relax”…

#2 Why did U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi tell Fox News in February that Epstein’s client list was “sitting on my desk right now to review” if no such client list ever existed?…

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday said the Jeffrey Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now” and she is reviewing the JFK and MLK files as well after President Donald Trump’s earlier directives.

“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” Bondi told ‘America Reports’ host John Roberts on Friday. “That’s been a directive by President Trump.”

#3 What was in the “thousands of documents” related to the Epstein case that were suddenly discovered in February?…

Attorney General Pam Bondi has been made aware of “thousands of documents” related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that were previously not disclosed to her office, she said in a letter on Thursday.

#4 When Bondi claimed that the Epstein flight logs would “make you sick” in March, what did she mean by that?…

Attorney general Pam Bondi released hundreds of pages of information connected to Epstein in March, promising it would disclose “a lot of names” and flight logs that would “make you sick”.

#5 In May, Bondi confessed that there were “tens of thousands of videos” related to the Epstein investigation.  What was in those videos?…

She said in May that the FBI was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of Epstein “with children or child porn.” Bondi’s comments and the delay in releasing the next batch of documents have tapped into suspicions that damaging details about Epstein or other prominent figures remain hidden.

#6 Other than Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, why hasn’t anyone else that was involved in the sex trafficking operation ever been arrested?…

#7 The memo that was released on Sunday night says that there will be “no further disclosure” in this case.  Does this mean that the Trump administration’s search for the truth ends here?…

In a memo published by Axios Sunday night, the DOJ and FBI jointly stated that the Epstein files did not include a client list, or evidence of additional perpetrators — and that there will be “no further disclosure” of information on the case.

“This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list,’” The memo said. “There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”

American with ‘CIA’ credentials and variety of weapons arrested in Mexico

An American national with credentials that read “CIA” has been arrested in Mexico on weapons charges, Mexican authorities said Saturday. 

The unidentified man was arrested “for his probable involvement in the crimes of disturbing the peace and possession of weapons designated for exclusive use by the Army,” according to the Secretariat of Security of the State of Mexico.

Authorities found six firearms, magazines, live ammunition and tactical equipment, the agency said.

“The individual was carrying a credential with the inscription ‘CIA’,” authorities wrote on X.

Images posted by the security agency showed rifles, handguns, tactical vests, helmets, pocket knives and ammunition. 

The State Department told Fox News that it was aware of reports of the man’s arrest. 

An agency spokesperson said it has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad.

​’When a U.S. citizen is detained abroad, the department works to provide consular assistance,” the spokesperson said.

Mexican authorities have not disclosed any additional details about the man’s arrest or why he was in the country.

Austin, Texas: Over Three Dozen Bodies Found in Lake Since 2022, Prompting Fears of Serial Killer

Suicides, simple accidents, a deadly combination of alcohol and deep water — or a clever serial killer on the loose in the Texas state capitol?

That’s the question haunting Austin, Texas locals after the dead body count in a reservoir named Lady Bird Lake climbed to 38 recovered corpses since 2022 when another man’s body was pulled from its waters last month.

The Austin Police Department (APD) told Fox News Digital that detectives don’t suspect foul play, and the department is working to determine whether the body recovered is a 17-year-old kayaker reported missing.

But the discovery of yet another dead body has reignited fears that a serial killer is hunting male victims in Austin and disposing their bodies in or around the lake. The reservoir was first created in the 1960s as a cooling pond for a power plant but is now used primarily for recreation and flood control.

Local authorities downplay the possibility of foul play.

However, Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist and expert trial witness, told Fox News Digital that the theory can’t be so easily dismissed.

“The denials by law enforcement and other authorities that these cases are murders or the work of a serial killer are premature,” she said. “They don’t want the public to panic about a possible serial killer, so they are making light of all the deaths.”

According to data obtained by Fox 7, of the nearly three dozen bodies found, 30 have reportedly been men, with approximately 60 percent between 30 and 49 years old. Fox 7 reported:

“In the past three years, the causes of death have been mainly attributed to accidental drownings. Second is suicide, as well as drug overdoses, and natural causes. Only one case has been ruled a murder; about half a dozen of these cases remain unknown.”

Lieberman said such statistics often don’t tell the whole story:

One cannot rule out that a so-called ‘accidental’ drowning isn’t the result of a murderer unless there were witnesses. Murderers can use drowning as their [modus operandi]. Similarly, suicides must be proven, not just assumed if someone has been depressed.

The psychiatrist added that date rape drugs can render even a man easy prey for a thief or a killer, citing water as an attractive way to dispose of a body:

Water can cause decomposition of the body and can wash away evidence, from fingerprints to DNA. If the water has movement, such as a river or stream, it can propel the body far from the actual scene of the crime, making it more complicated to find the killer. Some killers choose water-based crime scenes with the hopes that their murder will be misconstrued as drowning, which can make it harder, because it can be difficult to differentiate drowning from murder.

In a 2023 statement, Fox Digital reported, APD tried to dispense of public fears that a serial killer was targeting men in the area. The department cited alcohol mixed with a large body of water as the culprit, with the majority of deaths occurring after the surrounding park’s closing time.
