Who Is Thomas Crooks? – Podcast Recap

This podcast recap is from a Tucker Carlson Network episode providing an overview alleging that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has actively concealed critical information regarding the July 2024 attempted assassination of Donald Trump by Thomas Crooks. It highlights evidence suggesting Crooks was not a "virtual ghost" online, detailing his extensive digital footprint, including numerous social media and encrypted email accounts, which contradicts the FBI's initial claims. The report focuses on hundreds of Crooks' recovered YouTube comments from 2019-2020, which initially showed extreme pro-Trump and violent rhetoric that later shifted to anti-Trump and left-leaning views, all while maintaining a focus on political violence. Furthermore, the episode raises serious questions about the FBI's handling of the investigation, citing the cremation of Crooks' body and the hosing down of the crime scene as potential acts of obstruction. Ultimately, the episode argues that the FBI and Department of Justice are stonewalling congressional inquiries and the public to hide key facts about Crooks' motives and potential connections to a mysterious online user named Willie Tepes.
