Was Thomas Crooks Was Wrongfully Murdered?
Was Crooks Just Doing His Job As A Plainclothes Spotter Volunteer For A Counter Sniper Team?
Sometimes, volunteers with the purest intentions are used by those who hide their evil machinations by making the pure-hearted their patsies. Antifa sniper groomer Maxwell Yearick is just one such evil individual, and his target and victim was Thomas Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
Nowhere has that truism been more true than on July 13th, 2024, at the Fairgrounds in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Antifa sniper groomer Maxwell Yearick lured spotter Thomas Crooks to the top of American Glass Research Building 6, where shots from there almost ended the life of President Donald Trump.
I will outline how Thomas Crooks conducted all the threat identification he was asked for for the Trump Rally Event and how he paid for his good intentions with his life. Crooks was doing what Maxwell Yearick recruited him to do and what Crooks was trained to do. Crooks’s life was taken because he allowed himself to be taken in by the entrapment of Maxwell Yearick.
Spotters work side-by-side with snipers in counter-sniper operations. Crooks’ body position in relation to the sniper rifle indicates that he was in the spotter position, not the sniper position.
My source at Butler Township reported that at the 9 AM Deconfliction meeting with Butler County Sheriff and Butler Township Police, the famous meeting skipped by the Secret Service, a plainclothes sniper team was to be assigned to the AGR Building 6 rooftop. The site of Yearick and Crooks on the AGR Building 6 rooftop would not raise any eyebrows or questions because that team, “with a volunteer spotter,” was supposed to be there. I repeat - that plainclothes sniper team was supposed to be there.
Thomas Crooks's only crime was looking through a range finder for the sniper he supported, Maxwell Yearick. By all accounts and metadata, Thomas Crooks was a groomed spotter by Antifa sniper Maxwell Yearick, training at the Clairton Sportsmen’s Gun Club, possibly with the Department of Homeland Security. Yearick, who is on the FBI Terrorist Watchlist, has a long wrap sheet of inciting deadly violence in major cities all over the United States, including inciting rioters to blow up and burn buildings in Washington, DC.
We outlined over a week ago how Crooks and Yearick ascended Building 6 of the American Glass Research Building to take their position as plainclothes countersniper team for the US Secret Service on the roof using a five-foot ladder with a string from Home Depot in Butler, PA. Now, the FBI seems to be backtracking on their own ladder story, accusing anyone mentioning the ladder as a conspiracy theorist.
Christopher Wray of the FBI introduced the “blood ladder receipt” in Crooks's pocket as evidence in Congress just last Tuesday, but now the ladder is a conspiracy theory. CNN also reported that Crooks purchased a five foot ladder from Home Depot in Butler, PA.
Using a five-foot ladder on a string, Crooks and Yearick ascended to the six-foot, eight-inch air conditioner, then pulled the ladder up on a string, and then used it again to access the rooftop. From photos taken just before the shooting, we can see that there were several police cars in the vicinity where Yearick and Crooks ascended the ladder.
However, the ladder and string combination was only used by Yearick to descend after firing the near-fatal shots at Trump, our researchers believe.
It was simple for Crooks to get these shots off, descend the ladder, and then strand his volunteer spotter on the roof by removing the ladder from the string with his exit.
There is a long delay after sniper Yearick takes his shots before the kill shot takes out Crooks, allowing for time for Yearick’s escape.
Fortunately, the IP addresses published by Senator Ron Johnson tell a wholly different and, more importantly, true story that the FBI “lone gunman” compartmentalization reminiscent of the Lee Harvey Oswald narrative after the JFK assassination.
Maxwell Yearick, a 37-year-old Antifa sniper with a long wrap sheet of terrorist activities like trying to burn down buildings in Washington, DC, only had to recruit an impressionable spotter to hold the bag for him at the Trump assassination. So simple. So easy to read.
Maybe the title of this movie is “Revenge On The Nerd,” and the FBI is still denying that Senator Ron Johnson released IP addresses for Maxwell Yearick even exist.
For all the receipts, return here for the paid portion of this post.
Unfortunately, Senator Ron Johnson published nineteen Internet Protocol addresses that likely were generated by a teammate of Thomas Crooks at his home, his place of business, a nearby gun story, his high school, and six mysterious locations near the Clairton Sportsmen’s Gun Club where Crooks was a member for a year.
These nineteen locations included Crooks and Yearick going to Butler, PA on July 4th and July 8th to the Fairgrounds and a Home Depot.
Presumably, the FBI could source the picture of Crooks and Yearick buying this ladder on July 8th and publish it, but they have suppressed this from the public.
We even reenacted the scene at the Butler Home Depot on July 8th, five days before the assassination, and we even provided the FBI with the string.
Tyrone Sargent and I both showed the ladder, and I personally took the Home Depot string to the FBI office in downtown Pittsburgh for three days in a row.
I offered the FBI the Home Depot string for personal delivery to the Special Agent in Charge of the investigation, SAIC Rojek.
Crooks' accomplice and teammate's cell phone data matches Crooks’s home, work, and the Allegheny Gun and Arms Works, but shockingly, it also includes a June 26th, 2023, trip to the FBI and Secret Service Headquarters.
The discovery of the Yearick Armory in Arizona also created waves in the news since the van mapping to Maxwell Yearick with Arizona plates.
Many news outlets reported the death of the sniper as Maxwell Yearick because a white van with Arizona plates matched Yearick. Explosives were found in the white van a few blocks away from the assassination site.
I visited all the Butler, PA and Pittsburgh, PA locations that were published by Senator Ron Johnson, but six sites were redacted. Why were six sites near Clairton Sportsmen’s shooting Club redacted?
The map below shows the area of Washington, DC visited by Crooks and a potential accomplice on June 23rd, 2023 near the FBI and Secret Service Headquarters there.
The phone associated with Crooks's metadata was in Washington, DC, on June 23rd, 2023. Yesterday, members of Congress tussled over chat records using an encrypted service called Discord.
There is no apparent reason to protect the dead shooter now, but these chat records have been withheld. When Crooks’ Secret Service and FBI metadata is coupled with the new arrival of Special Agent in Charge Rojek to Pittsburgh, you begin to think that Pittsburgh might have been the planned Trump Shooting Pen for some time.
Other researchers have associated this “Washington trip” location with just the US Secret Service Headquarters in Washington, DC, and not an FBI visit. From my five years of walking my reporting routes in Washington, DC, I am very familiar with the location that Crooks traveled to. Some internet commenters also speculated this metadata might suggest an accomplice.
Finding out who Crooks communicated with before and after these trips would be extremely important in finding accomplices to the attempted Trump Assassination.
According to cell phone records collected near Thomas Crooks's home, one of Crooks’ devices was also taken to Boston, MA, and driven to Plymouth, MA, between March 1st and 3rd, 2024. Again, communication records in and around this Boston trip could lend context and possible accomplices to this trip.
Hotel 1260 in Plymouth Harbor is a very high-end location, and it seems like an unusual trip for a 19-year-old teenager to make in March this year without a good business reason.
You may remember that Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene put forth a Bill in Congress to make Antifa a domestic terrorist organization on March 7th, 2024.
This would pressure Antifa organizer Maxwell Yearick with an upgraded classification of domestic threat. It is not known if Maxwell Yearick met with any representatives of the FBI or Secret Service on this March 1st through the 3rd trip to Plymouth.

Even more shockingly, devices with Crooks’ phone number also went to Butler, PA, on July 4th before Donald Trump's appearance was approved by the Secret Service on July 7th, implying someone at the Secret Service had tipped off Crooks and or an accomplice even before Trump’s Butler Rally appearance was approved. Crooks and Yearick are both known to have been members of the Clairton Sportsmen’s Gun Club for training events.
Crooks devices were seen again in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 8th, the day after the Trump Secret Service approval to visit Home Depot, ostensibly to purchase a ladder. So, Crooks already knew the sniper location of the elevated roof perch only a day after the Trump Rally was approved.
As mentioned earlier, this phone was associated with Crooks’s home place of business and with the Allegheny Arms and Guns Works, which Tyrone Sargent of Neighborhood News and I recently visited.
I again walked from Crooks’ home to most of the locations associated with Crooks, and I do not understand why the FBI would repress these locations unless they did not want reporters to follow up on the Crooks's timeline of events.
We have also visited many of Bethel Park locations linked to the Crooks phone before the phone ceased operations on July 12th, but I continue to walk the route in Bethel Park for additions insights and to socialize the locations for the world’s citizen journalists.
Special Agent In Charge - SAIC Rojek Background

And meanwhile, here in Pittsburgh, special agent in charge Rojek’s focus seems to be putting the AR-15 on trial and not releasing the text and email communications of the shooter. much ado was made about how the shooter was identified with the AR-15 serial number and not genetic information because Crooks had no ID on his person.
Rojek of the FBI seems to be breadcrumbing information about crooks social media through a keyhole to put the AR-15 on trial.
With the out of the way meeting in Plymouth, Mass, a Hollywood movie director might surely conjure a movie like “The Mayflower Conspiracy” where a Secret Service Director, a Secret Service sniper, and a cooperative FBI Special Agent in Charge conspire to kill a troublesome Presidential candidate.
Secret Service Director Kimberley Cheatle has been close to the Continuity of Government and conspiracies since 9/11 with then Vice President Dick Cheney.
Events In Plymouth March 2nd, 2024
American kids are taught to respect authority, and when that authority takes advantage of them and uses them it is the ultimate betrayal. This kid, Thomas Crooks, acting as the spotter could very well have been doing his job on that roof that fateful day, and he was shot to blame him for the attempted assassination of Trump. You'd think that forensics could prove who was the real shooter of President Trump. Could Maxwell Yearick have used Crook's gun to do the shooting? Why was the bloodied receipt for purchasing the 5 foot ladder found in Crook's pocket? Could it have been placed there? Why did they suppress the White Van found near the Butler site? Why didn't they mention, from the beginning, that Crooks drove a Hyundai Sonata to Butler the day of the attempted assassination? Why are they drip, dripping the information out, and then seeming to retract the fact of the 5 foot ladder was purchased on July 8th at the Home Depot in Butler? It seems to me they are purposely muddying the waters.
So many questions, and not enough answers.
One of the vital questions that remains is where is Maxwell Yearick? This threat is not over. If, indeed, this attempted assassination of Trump was state-sponsored, as it certainly appears to be, then they are not going to stop. They will try it again.
It's time to subpoena Alejandro Mayorkas, head of DHS, who was conducting rally shooting exercises at the Clairton Sportsmen's Club where both Maxwell Yearick and Thomas Crooks were members.
Meanwhile, I sure hope that the parents of Thomas Matthew Crooks brings a wrongful death suit because no one has proven that their son was the sniper and all the metadata points to him being the spotter just doing his job.
