A family member told The Daily Mail, “The FBI still very much has questions about how much they knew and how he [Thomas] slipped through the net.” This statement highlights the ongoing scrutiny faced by the Crooks family as federal agents seek to piece together the events leading up to the attempted assassination.
The urgency of the investigation was further amplified last week when Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL) suggested that Thomas Crooks may not have acted alone. Speaking in response to classified briefings he received as part of a bipartisan House committee assisting the FBI, Waltz expressed skepticism about the swift conclusions reached by federal agencies. “I don’t understand, and I don’t have any answers yet to help me understand how the [Secret] Service and DHS came out so quickly and said – and I think the FBI as well, but I’ll have to check that – and said, he operated alone,” Waltz said. “How do you know that mere days into your investigation? You can’t tell us his motive, but you could tell us he operated alone? You can’t get into these encrypted overseas accounts, but you can tell us he acted alone? So, I don’t buy that yet.”
The FBI, under the leadership of Director Robert Rowe, has revealed that Thomas Crooks’ father reported him missing just hours before the attempted assassination. However, the elder Crooks’ report was seemingly too late to prevent the tragic events that unfolded. The investigation has also uncovered explosive devices in the young man’s vehicle, adding to the gravity of the situation. Despite these findings, the motive behind Crooks’ actions remains elusive, leaving many questions unanswered.
Adding to the controversy is the fact that Thomas Crooks’ body was cremated before a thorough autopsy could be performed. This decision has raised eyebrows and could potentially become a point of contention as the investigation continues. The FBI may also seek to question Matthew Crooks about the circumstances surrounding this hasty cremation, which could be seen as an attempt to obscure crucial details about his son’s state of mind and possible motives.
Though Thomas Crooks was registered as a Republican, his recent actions and political views appear to be more complex. Reports indicate that Crooks made a small donation to a progressive political action committee supporting President Joe Biden, which has led to further speculation about his motivations. Former classmates have described him as increasingly pessimistic about the American political system, and an analysis of his online search history revealed an interest in the Michigan mass-shooter Ethan Crumbley. In that case, the shooter’s parents were held criminally liable for enabling their son to access the firearm used in the attack.

As the FBI’s investigation continues, the involvement of Matthew and Mary Crooks will likely remain a focal point. Their decision to lawyer up with a powerhouse firm suggests they are preparing for a protracted legal battle, as federal authorities probe deeper into the family’s potential role in the events leading up to the assassination attempt. With many questions still unanswered, this case is poised to remain in the spotlight as investigators work to uncover the truth behind one of the most shocking incidents in recent political history.
