FBI Secretly CREMATED Trump Shooter’s Body Days After Death, Told NO ONE
Conservative Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) is exposing the FBI for quietly releasing the body of Trump shooter Thomas Crooks for a private cremation by his family just days after the event. He added that the Bureau actively impeded his investigation into whether a post-shooting autopsy report about how Crooks died was accurate.
The Louisiana Republican provided his update in a letter to a bipartisan committee examining the July 13th assassination attempt against President Donald Trump. In it, he writes about his intent to examine the body and ensure an autopsy and coroner’s report were fully accurate. “We will actually never know. Yes, we’ll get the reports and pictures, etc, but I will not ever be able to say with certainty that those reports and pictures are accurate according to my own examination of the body,” he tells the committee, according to the New York Post.
“The FBI cleaned up biological evidence from the crime scene, which is unheard of,” Higgins wrote. “Cops don’t do that, ever. I interviewed several First Responders who expressed everything from surprise to dismay to suspicion regarding the fact that the FBI released the crime scene so early after J13,” Higgins said “It should be noted that the FBI was fully aware of the fact that Congress would be investigating J13. The FBI does not exist in a vacuum. They had to know that releasing the J13 crime scene would injure the immediate observations of any following investigation. “
Rep. Higgins told committee members he found it “disturbing” that Crooks was able to position himself just hundreds of yards from the stage where President Trump stood, out of sight from Secret Service counter-snipers. The security failures in the perimeter of the rally have led to the resignation of former agency director Kimberly Cheatle and prompted renewed scrutiny of the embattled 60-member team around the former president. Higgins writes that Crooks had “perfectly positioned himself (on the roof) to minimize the threat of counter-fire from the ground or the US Secret Service counter-sniper teams.” He “effectively minimized the sky-lined profile of his head and upper body,” the congressman added.
According to reports from that day, Crooks was able to fire off up to eight shots from an AR-15 rifle he had stolen from his parents’ home before counter-snipers shot and killed him. “The 10th (and, I believe, final) shot was fired from the USSS southern counter-sniper team,” the report stated. “Which, according to my investigation, entered somewhere around the left mouth area and exited the right ear area.” The first bullet fired by Crooks struck Trump’s right ear, and subsequent rounds killed Trump supporter Corey Comperatore and severely injured two others.
Earlier this week sources within the Secret Service disclosed that multiple security failures around President Trump have taken place since the July 13th rally. A female agent was reprimanded for going off duty unannounced to breastfeed her child, and weeks earlier another agent was found to be posting sensitive social media pictures that compromised the former president’s locations. In internal emails, another agent ripped his colleagues for their lackadaisical behavior on the job and said another attempt on Trump’s life is “imminent.”
