FBI Concealed Trump Assassin’s 737 Violent Online Posts and Gender Identity Claims, New Evidence Reveals

Sounds like the kind of stuff the FBI are supposed to know before someone goes off the rails. And maybe they did...and recruited, or encouraged him.

All of the nutty internet posts in the world won’t get you easy access to a rooftop overlooking a DJT event, to say nothing of taking a rifle with you.
 
But but but...they told us he had no on line presence :dunno:

The FBI is broken. I hope it can be fixed. I have my doubts though.

Now, Carlson is saying something just doesn't add up. He is questioning why the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said Crooks "had no online footprint" because he claims Crook left a “detailed digital trail of violent threats, including calls for assassination and political violence.”


Looks like Tucker was right!
 
Christopher Wray, then-FBI Director under Biden, testified under oath that Crooks had no “online history

That's perjury.

Well, how else could they get the outraged leftists to believe they/them were MAGA if they didn't ignore when they/them veered into crazy leftist land?
FBI and Secret Service knew of Crooks radicalization and recruited Crooks to kill Trump.

Thus the need to lie about Crooks' on-line record.

If they turnover what they know of Crooks radicalism and say that they did not know about him prior to the assassination attempt they look like incompetent fools.

If they say they knew about Crooks and did nothing it is a repeat of the Boston Bomber and they can expect massive firings.

Add to that the cell phones, the drone, no security on the roof, target practice at the same range used by the DHS SWAT team.

No, this Crooks affair screams Democrat Deep State Conspiracy.
 
Summary of the Article
The article, published on November 18, 2025, by Noah Stanton on IStandForFreedom.com, claims that the FBI deliberately concealed a significant online footprint belonging to Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who attempted to assassinate then-candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. Crooks was killed by Secret Service agents during the incident, which also resulted in the death of attendee Corey Comperatore and injuries to two others.
Key assertions include:

Crooks left 737 YouTube comments (from 2019–2020) under accounts linked to his email, initially supporting Trump but shifting to anti-Trump rhetoric and explicit calls for violence, such as "IMO the only way to fight the gov is with terrorism style attacks" and "track down any important people/politicians/military leaders etc and try to assassinate them."
Crooks used "they/them" pronouns on DeviantArt profiles, posted artwork depicting shootings and brutal scenes (some against trans pride flag colors), and engaged with "furry" fetish content involving anthropomorphic characters, including sexually explicit material with muscle-bound male bodies and female heads.
The FBI's congressional testimony (e.g., by then-Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate) was misleading, as they downplayed or omitted this history, claiming no clear motive or ideological indicators despite evidence of radicalization.
Links to a broader pattern of FBI inaction (citing cases like Parkland and Orlando) and connections to other attackers, such as Tyler Robinson (alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk), who shared similar online interests in furry subcultures and gender confusion.
An alias using the name of retired FBI agent Rod Swanson, and speculation that the FBI prioritized "narratives" over public safety, potentially enabling further threats against Trump (e.g., a reported sniper at his Palm Beach landing site).
Calls for an FBI overhaul under Trump, with potential investigations by Director Kash Patel.

The article cites sources like the New York Post, Breitbart, The Western Journal, and The Federalist, framing the revelations as "new evidence" exposing institutional betrayal.
Verification of Accuracy
Based on recent reporting from multiple outlets (as of November 2025), the article's core factual claims about Crooks' online activity are largely accurate and substantiated. However, its portrayal of FBI "concealment" as deliberate institutional malfeasance is speculative and overstated, relying on interpretive leaps rather than direct evidence of a cover-up. The FBI has acknowledged some online activity but emphasized its limited scope and lack of a clear motive, while recent disclosures (e.g., via independent journalism) have filled gaps not previously publicized. No manifesto or explicit pre-attack planning documents have been confirmed.
Here's a breakdown of the main claims:













































Claim from ArticleVerificationAccuracy737 YouTube comments advocating violence and ideological shift (pro-Trump in 2019 to anti-Trump in 2020)Multiple sources confirm ~700–737 comments on YouTube accounts ("epicmicrowave" and "theepicmicrowave") linked to Crooks' email. Early posts praised Trump as "the literal definition of Patriotism" and targeted Democrats (e.g., "MURDER THE DEMOCRATS"). By early 2020, they turned critical (e.g., calling Trump a "racist" and supporters a "cult," mocking his "stupidity"). Violent rhetoric included calls for "terrorism-style attacks" and assassinations of leaders. These were uncovered via forensic analysis of seized devices.Accurate."They/them" pronouns and DeviantArt artwork with violent/sexual themesConfirmed: DeviantArt profiles linked to Crooks used "they/them" pronouns and featured artwork of executions (e.g., "How he lost his eye" showing a gun execution) and figures over bodies (e.g., "Killing pedos"). Some incorporated trans pride colors; content tied to furry interests. Search history showed queries on terrorism, mass shootings (e.g., Pulse nightclub, Oklahoma City), and explosives.Accurate.FBI concealed this info and gave misleading testimonyPartially accurate but interpretive. Wray (July 2024) told Congress no "motive or political ideology" was evident in Crooks' online history, describing it as "thin." Abbate noted preliminary findings of "antisemitic and anti-immigration themes" and "political violence" in ~700 comments but stressed authentication issues. Recent FBI Director Kash Patel (November 2025) confirmed analysis of 25 social accounts and 13 devices, concluding Crooks acted alone with "limited" online interactions. Critics (e.g., Tucker Carlson, New York Post) accuse omission of the full violent/ideological details as a "lie" or "cover-up." FBI rebuttals deny claiming "no online footprint" and cite ongoing verification. No evidence of deliberate suppression; delays may stem from authentication and investigation scope.Mixed: Factual omissions occurred, but "concealment" implies intent without proof.Links to furry community and Tyler Robinson (Charlie Kirk assassin)Confirmed: Crooks' DeviantArt activity aligns with furry subculture (anthropomorphic art). Robinson (in a separate 2025 case) had similar ties, including engravings on bullets referencing furry themes and games like "Furry Shades of Gay." Both showed gender exploration and violent online shifts. Breitbart and Western Journal report the nexus as a "five-alarm fire" for radicalization patterns.Accurate, though the "link" is thematic/cultural, not direct collaboration.Alias as Rod Swanson (retired FBI agent)Confirmed: One account used Swanson's name. Swanson (former FBI/Nevada investigator) stated such threats would typically trigger FBI door-knocks, implying awareness.Accurate.Pattern of FBI inaction (e.g., Parkland, Orlando) and calls for overhaulOpinion-based. Parallels to past cases are drawn in conservative media, but no new evidence ties them directly to Crooks. Patel's November 2025 update reiterates a thorough probe (480+ employees, 1,000+ interviews) with no co-conspirators found. Trump's overhaul pledges are political context.Speculative; not factual inaccuracies but unsubstantiated causation.No manifesto or clear motiveConfirmed across sources: FBI/Patel state no manifesto, limited interactions, and no shared intent. Motive remains unknown despite extensive searches.Accurate.
Overall Assessment

Strengths: The article accurately synthesizes emerging details from credible investigative reporting (primarily the New York Post's November 17, 2025, exposé by Miranda Devine), which first publicized the full YouTube comments, DeviantArt profiles, and ideological evolution. These align with FBI acknowledgments of "extreme" content espousing violence.
Weaknesses: It amplifies unproven conspiracy angles (e.g., "deep state" betrayal, direct FBI handler involvement) without evidence, echoing partisan narratives from Tucker Carlson and similar outlets. The site's conservative bias (focus on "freedom" vs. "deep state") colors the tone toward alarmism. Recent FBI updates under Patel contradict full-cover-up claims by affirming a massive investigation.
Conclusion: The article is mostly accurate on facts but sensationalized on intent. It contributes to public discourse on transparency but should be cross-referenced with neutral sources like Wikipedia or official FBI statements for balance. If new evidence emerges (e.g., from Patel's probes), this could evolve. For deeper dives, see the New York Post's original reporting or Patel's X updates.

Not hardly he was pro Trump till 2020 then he changed to anti Trump. He started using they /them and became a furry. I don't know any MAGAs that are furries.

Yes, there are furries who support Donald Trump, though they are a minority within the broader furry fandom, which tends to lean progressive/left-wing. This group is often referred to as "alt-furries" or "Furries for Trump".

AI Overview



FBI Director Christopher Wray described Thomas Crooks as a
"loner" with a limited digital footprint, the precise motive for whose actions remains elusive. Wray provided specific details about the digital activity uncovered, noting that many "usual repositories of information have not yielded anything notable in terms of motive or ideology".
Key points from Wray's statements to Congress in July 2024 include:
  • Limited Interactions: Wray stated that the data on Crooks' devices, including a "very short" list of contacts, aligns with descriptions of him as a loner who did not have a lot of face-to-face or digital interaction with people.
  • Specific Searches: Investigators found that on July 6, one week before the shooting, Crooks performed a Google search for "How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?". That same day, he registered for the rally.
Ask yourself prior to this past week end did the FBI say they had any significant digital evidence about motive on Crooks

Thank you. No evidence of concealment.

His online activities were well known. Both pro and anti Trump.

I'll believe it when you produce a real furry for Trump.
