The failed assassination of Donald Trump revealed so many security loopholes and unprofessionalism among the Secret Service, whose task is to ensure the former president’s safety. Yet, more than a month after the tragic incident, the FBI and the Secret Service have not held anyone accountable or prosecuted the culprit behind Trump’s shooting.
Worse, the FBI released Crooks’s body to his parents without informing the Coroner or proper autopsy. The ongoing investigation failed to produce any answers but created more questions.
Now, a recent development on the case revealed that the parents of Thomas Crooks were able to hire a powerhouse law firm, allegedly in preparation for the possible criminal charges and civil action they would have to face.According to the Daily Mail report, the Crooks family will be represented by Quinn Logue, a leading law firm in Pittsburgh.
According to a source close to the Crooks, “The FBI still very much has questions about how much they knew and how he [Thomas] slipped through the net.”
Quin Logue refers to themselves as trial attorneys specializing in criminal defense and civil suits, including wrongful death and personal injury.
Many raised suspicions about how Thomas’ parents were able to pay the bill for the powerhouse law firm, asking: “Who pays the bill?”
Matthew Crooks, Thomas’ father, was seen on Tuesday and Wednesday walking outside their bungalow home.
Crooks’ parents haven’t responded to any request for comment regarding their son’s criminal act or the events that transpired before the shooting.
Thomas, their 20-year-old son, fired shots during Trump’s rally at Butler Farm Show Grounds, that pierced Trump’s right ear and ended Corey Comperatore’s life.
He was immediately ‘neutralized’ by a Secret Service sniper. However, he had already fired eight bullets.
More concerning details unraveled as the House investigation regarding the incident continues.
Among them is Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Florida), who raised the possibility that the 20-year-old Crooks did not act alone.
Waltz questioned the federal law authorities’ failure to answer questions about his foreign encrypted messaging accounts.
“You can’t tell us his motive, but you could tell us he operated alone?” Waltz remarked.
‘You can’t get into these encrypted overseas accounts, but you can tell us he acted alone?’ ‘So, I don’t buy that yet.’
Earlier reports say Thomas’ parents contacted him when he didn’t show up earlier that day.
They also allegedly notified law enforcement that Thomas was missing, but it wasn’t clear if they had an idea that their son was armed.
Meanwhile, investigators focus on digging down Crooks’ online activity, and one of his recent searches was online information regarding Michigan mass shooter Ethan Crumbley and his parents.
A family member who agreed to speak with Dailymail.com revealed that Thomas’ father is a gun enthusiast and had sold guns to other relatives previously.
On July 13, Thomas went out of their house with an AR-15-style rifle that was purchased by his father in 2013 and transferred to him in 2023.
Both his parents were Democrats.
