How They Let a Punk Kid Almost Take Out Trump and Stonewalled the Truth
Listen up, folks, because this isn’t some conspiracy theory cooked up in a basement—it’s the cold, hard reality of how the Biden regime’s FBI turned into a clown show that nearly cost us the greatest comeback story in American history. On July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, a 20-year-old nobody named Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed onto a roof with a rifle and took shots at Donald Trump, grazing his ear and killing a firefighter hero in the crowd. One year and change later, with Trump back in the White House, we’re still digging through the wreckage of incompetence, cover-ups, and outright stonewalling by an agency that’s supposed to protect us, not play politics. The FBI under Biden didn’t just fail—they betrayed the American people, and it’s time to call it what it is: a national disgrace.
The Butler Blunder: Security So Bad It Was Practically an Invitation
Let’s start with the basics, because even a blind squirrel could see the failures here. Crooks waltzed into that rally like he owned the place, scoping out the site days in advance with a drone and a rangefinder. He parked his Hyundai Sonata nearby, complete with explosive devices in the trunk, and nobody batted an eye. Witnesses spotted him on the roof of the AGR building, acting shady as hell, but local cops and Secret Service agents—many of them temps pulled from DHS because the real pros were babysitting Jill Biden’s Pittsburgh pizza party—did nothing effective until bullets were flying.
Ten shots rang out in total that day. Crooks fired eight, a local SWAT guy nailed the ninth from 100 yards away through foliage, and a Secret Service sniper dropped the tenth to finish him off. But here’s the kicker: the FBI swooped in like vultures and scrubbed the crime scene clean, hosing down biological evidence before investigators could blink. Cops don’t do that—ever. They released the site after just three days, cremated Crooks’ body 10 days later, blocking any further tox screens or autopsies right as Congress started poking around. Why the rush? Because nothing says “transparent investigation” like destroying evidence faster than a Democrat deletes emails.
And don’t get me started on the manpower mess. The Secret Service was running a skeleton crew, thanks to commitments at a NATO summit and Jill’s event pulling resources away. They filled gaps with unqualified Homeland Security Investigations agents, the same crew that overlapped with Crooks at a shooting range over 40 times. He practiced there obsessively, and HSI even had an event scheduled the day after the shooting. Coincidence? In Biden’s America, sure—right up there with “secure borders” and “affordable gas.”
The Digital Black Hole: Crooks’ Online Rage Ignored and Buried
Fast forward to now, November 2025, and the real bombshells are dropping. Turns out Crooks wasn’t some lone wolf hermit—the kid had a digital footprint longer than Biden’s nap schedule. He started as a pro-Trump poster online, then flipped to raging anti-Trump rants, all under his real name. We’re talking years of posts escalating to violence fantasies against politicians, searches for over 700 Trump-related hits, Jack Ruby, mass shootings, bombs, napalm, Nazis, and Hitler’s speeches. He even chatted with some sketchy character named “Willie Tepes,” who egged him on with war talk and gun tips. Tepes? Linked to Antifa sites and a State Department-designated terror group, but the FBI’s playing dumb.
The FBI knew about this—hell, they had contracts for social media surveillance at the time. How do you miss a guy posting threats in plain sight? Simple: you don’t want to find them. They lied to Congress, calling his online presence “minimal” and “possibly” his accounts when they knew damn well it was him. They twisted his motives into some anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant nonsense to fit their narrative, all while blocking access to key files. Reps like Mike Kelly and Pat Fallon are calling it straight-up stonewalling—the FBI kept Congress in the dark because, as Kelly put it, they don’t want folks handling the truth.
And get this: Crooks used three or four encrypted chat apps hosted in foreign spots like Brussels that the FBI still can’t crack. That’s special forces-level op-sec for a community college kid. Geo-tracking shows he visited a regional FBI office 15 times before the attempt. A private investigator’s now uncovered evidence he was part of a “criminal network,” not acting alone. The feds insist he was solo, but with this much smoke, there’s a bonfire somewhere.
The Broader Betrayal: An FBI Weaponized Against Americans
This isn’t just about one botched rally—it’s the pattern of the Biden FBI failing the American people on every front. They prioritized hunting down Catholics at Mass, pro-lifers praying outside clinics, and parents yelling at school boards over radical gender nonsense, while real threats like Crooks slipped through. White supremacy was their “most persistent lethal threat,” they claimed, right before ignoring a homegrown nutjob radicalized online. Meanwhile, Islamist terror plots got a pass until they blew up in our faces.
Remember January 6? HSI—the same DHS branch cozying up at Crooks’ range—had twice as many agents embedded in that crowd as FBI informants. It’s the same playbook: infiltrate, agitate, then cover up. And CNN showing up to a Trump rally they usually ignore? Smells like foreknowledge, just like their cameras rolling for Roger Stone’s dawn raid.
The Senate dropped a report in July 2025 slamming these failures, and a Grassley probe the same month nailed the Secret Service for not sharing threat info, leading to this preventable mess. A House task force final report from December 2024 and a GAO expose in July 2025 piled on, detailing how leadership screw-ups turned Butler into a shooting gallery. One year update from the Secret Service in July 2025? More excuses, no accountability.
Time for a Reckoning: Drain the FBI Swamp
The Biden FBI didn’t just drop the ball—they spiked it into the ground and danced on it. They stonewalled investigations, buried evidence, and protected their own asses while endangering the leader who puts America First. With Trump back, it’s time to gut this bloated bureaucracy, fire the hacks like Chris Wray who let it happen, and rebuild an agency that serves the people, not the deep state.
Americans deserve answers, not more lies. The failures in Butler weren’t accidents—they were the rotten fruit of a politicized FBI that lost its way under Biden. If we don’t fix this now, the next punk with a grudge and a gun might not miss. And that, my friends, would be the real assassination of our republic.
