Thomas Matthew Crooks
Hey, wow – this is convenient.
Thomas Crooks’ phone has offered federal investigators no clear explanations about why the 20-year-old from suburban Pittsburgh tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Investigators have now turned their attention to the shooter’s laptop in the hopes of uncovering clues about his motive — a question that has proven still elusive two days after the shooting that rocked the nation.
Investigators have been able to piece together some clues about Crooks’ movements in before the shooting at 6:11 p.m. on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Earlier in the day, he bought 50 rounds of ammunition from Allegheny Arms & Gun Works and a metal ladder from Home Depot, which he used to climb to the roof of a factory with a clear sight-line to Trump’s podium, sources said.
Sources said the AR-style assault rifle Crooks used belonged to his father — Matthew Brian Crooks, a licensed counselor who registered to vote as a Libertarian.
The dad called police sometime Saturday to report that his son was missing — along with one of the roughly 20 guns he owned and kept in their modest suburban home in Bethel Park, about 25 minutes south of Pittsburgh, according to sources.
He also had no social media.

It’s convenient.
We’ll just wash over this, I guess.
Leave room for everyone – including all Jew Democrats – to rally around Trump as the President Elect.
