Trump's Would-Be Assassin: An Agent?

In his speech to Congress Trump termed him only "deranged"

A Black Jack Tale

During President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress this week he described his young, would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania as “deranged.”

If Mr. Trump has inside information, I’d like to examine it. Until then, I question how he knew the youth was yet another “lone nut” perp with a mental illness. The “deranged lone nut” profile is a notoriously common framing in cases like this one.

Consider the possibility that having been recruited by rogue US government agents and informed that Trump represented a “Fascist’ security threat to America, Thomas Matthew Crooks was told he was officially commissioned in secret to eliminate that threat.

Recall that last July Trump was being prosecuted in at least three courts and facing imprisonment. His Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida had been raided by a team of machine-gun-toting FBI agents who even ransacked the former First Lady’s personal belongings. To an impressionable 20-year old these facts may have served as evidence that Trump was an enemy of the state and that he would be serving a noble cause by joining with agents of the state in eliminating Trump for the good of the country.

A few days after the shots had been fired from the roof of the AGR building, the FBI forensically cleansed it —thereby scrubbing potential clues—an act which amounts to evidence-tampering.
