The FBI deputy director, Paul Abbate, shared a possible motive in the Trump assassination attempt during a hearing before Senate lawmakers.

According to Abbate, investigators recently uncovered a social media account they believe is associated with 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Crooks, the would-be assassin, had over 700 comments from an account made in a 2019 and 2020 timeframe that reflected antisemitic and anti-immigration themes.

Abbatte said the comments "espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature."

    The new SS director sounds like a great guy until you listen closely to his non-answers to the more difficult questions. Just more lack of accountability. There's nothing honorable about admitting one's failures but then refusing to actually take responsibility for them.

  • @jpisme9082
    I've been watching his testimony and he is clearly ducking and dodging any answer. Typical.

    The opinion of the FBI Deputy Director is worth squat.
  • @andy41417
    Start with Tim Burke agent in charge of Butler plan. Also the person who told the director the roof was too steep.
  • @OO-nb2kt
    It took a man to accept accountability 😂
