Evidence Reveals Trump Assassin Spent 80% Of This Time At The Local Gun Club

Daily Report August 09,2024

Recently released records obtained by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley show that Thomas Matthew Crooks had spent a considerable amount of time practicing at his local gun club before he commenced the attack on Donald Trump.

The 20-year-old allegedly spent about 80% of his time practicing with a rifle at the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club in Pennsylvania, where he was an associate member.

“He focused almost exclusively on the rifle range throughout 2024,” Grassley’s office said in a statement.

The records, which were first reported by ABC News, show Crooks went to the gun club 43 times after he joined in August of last year. In his early trips he sometimes drove as much as an hour and spent hundreds of dollars despite the 20 visits logged in his first four months, but kept coming — three to six times a month through May 2024.

The last time Crooks is listed as visiting the club was at 2:45 p.m. on Friday, July 12 — only one day before he would unleash a hail of AR-15 gunfire from atop a nearby rooftop toward Trump and more than 100 Grenada students sitting in bleachers around the garden’s southern edge. He fired a shot that clipped Trump on the ear and he killed another bystander before being taken down by a Secret Service counter-sniper.

Grassley’s office said the records were turned over in response to a congressional inquiry by the gun club.

Here is the timeline of events during that day, showing Crooks’s movements until before he went to shoot:

3:00 PM Saturday: Crooks went into the rally; metal detectors found his rangefinder. But he had been allowed to enter, with his every move monitored.

5:06 PM: Good security video recorded a person in what is believed to be Crooks walking close to the outside of a building, simply outside the barricaded space that enclosed this night’s rally. He did not seem to be holding his rifle, at the time.

5:55 PM: The Secret Service was notified of what they viewed as a “threat.”

6:09 PM: Crooks clambered up to the roof.

6:10 PM: With a rifle, Crooks lay prone on the sloped roof and began firing.

Firefighter Corey Comperatore was shot several times and killed at 6:11 PM. Trump, meanwhile, escaped unscathed after a bullet grazed his upper right ear. Crooks was shot and killed by the Secret Service, and they found a cell phone attached to a remote transmitter near him.

Shortly after officers and agents swarmed the rooftop, Crooks’ body was discovered covered in blood.
