Thomas Matthew Crooks left a trail of bread crumbs about his plan to assassinate Donald Trump ...
and he even reportedly bragged about it on a gaming platform. According to Fox News ..
. a group of U.S.
Senators were briefed on the assassination plot Wednesday by FBI officials who told them before the attack on Trump, Crooks logged into the Steam platform where people go to play, discuss, create and purchase video games. While communicating with other gamers, Crooks allegedly wrote, “July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds.” The senators were also informed FBI agents examined Crooks' laptop and discovered several searches with key words such as "Trump," "Biden," "when is DNC convention," and "July 13 Trump rally.
" However, law enforcement did not find any indication on the computer about why Crooks targeted Trump for murder. Not just that ..
. but investigators have been unable so far to track down anyone who can point to Crooks' political leanings. Furthermore, Fox reported the senators were advised that Crooks owned two mobile phones – and one was seized with a remote transmitter by police at the crime scene.
Crooks' other phone – containing 27 contacts -- was found at his home. FBI agents are attempting to locate the contacts to interview them about Crooks. As everyone knows, Crooks unleashed his diabolical scheme last Saturday, firing several shots from a building rooftop at Trump, who was giving a stump speech at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
