Geo-location investigation shows a phone associated with Thomas Crooks visited Butler, Pennsylvania, twice just days before the shooting.​


"A cell phone associated with the home and work addresses of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks visited the Gallery Place building in Washington, D.C., that houses a mall and offices of the FBI, the Heritage Oversight Project reported July 22.

The Oversight Project, part of the Heritage Foundation, began a geo-location investigation hours after the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump at a fairground in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Crooks, 20, was killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper after opening fire on Trump and the crowd just after 6:11 p.m. ET. Only a perfectly timed turn of his head kept Trump from being killed instantly by a rifle round fired from about 130 yards away, experts said.

The shooting took the life of retired fire chief Corey Comperatore of Sarver, Pennsylvania, and seriously wounded David Dutch of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, and James Copenhaver of Moon Township, Pennsylvania.


“We began this investigation on the night of the shooting,” an Oversight Project spokesman told Blaze News. “We’ve been working 24/7 since then.”

Oversight Project leaders said they hope other experts in the fields of geo-location searches and criminal investigations will step forward to assist with their probe. The investigation was begun out of concern that the work of the FBI, Secret Service, and other federal law enforcement won’t be transparent or thorough.

Washington, D.C., 'is the only town in America that you can be so bad at your job that you actually get a promotion or don't get fired.'

Investigators used Crooks’ home and work addresses to find cell phones that were common to both addresses, then triangulated each phone’s paths of travel. They used commercially available phone-identification numbers that are normally used to tailor advertising to the phone’s user.

According to Oversight investigators, a phone associated with Crooks’ work address at a nursing home in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, traveled to the Gallery Place complex in downtown Washington, D.C., on June 26, 2023. The phone “pinged” seven or eight times from that location the same day.

Gallery Place — an 11-story mixed-use building constructed over the Chinatown Metro station — is filled with retail stores and restaurants but also houses offices of the FBI on the upper floors, former FBI Special Agent Kyle Seraphin told Blaze News.

"It is the closest [location] off-site that I'm aware of to the Washington Field Office," Seraphin said. "Agents are assigned to Washington Field, but they work out of Gallery Place."

Investigators at the Oversight Project said the phone associated with that ID number most likely belonged to someone who visited Crooks at his place of work. They said they don’t believe it was Crooks’ phone.

Geo-location technology uses a unique ID assigned to each cell phone and searches for common places where the phone and its user travel.

“Every device has an ad ID. It’s kind of like a Social Security number for your cell phone,” said a spokesman for the Oversight Project. “It's unique and it identifies the phone. You can't erase it. You can refresh and get a new one, but you only have one ID per phone.”

Investigators said they found at least nine devices associated with Crooks’ home and work addresses in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. They believe at least two of those phones belonged to Crooks himself. A cell phone was found under Crooks’ body after he was killed by a counter-sniper July 13.

Based on geo-location data, investigators found a device associated with Crooks that traveled twice from Bethel Park just south of Pittsburgh to Butler, about 55 miles north of Crooks’ home. Those trips took place on July 4 and July 8, 2024, the Oversight Project reported. That phone ceased all activity on July 12.

The device also stopped at a Home Depot in Butler, they said. A report from U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Crooks purchased a 5.5-foot double ladder at a Home Depot just after 9:30 a.m. on the day of the shooting. Investigators do not believe Crooks used the ladder to access the roof just north of the fairground.

'Maybe when the president wakes up from his nap, he can fire you.'

Investigators theorized that Crooks made trips to surveil the Butler site in advance of the July 13 Trump rally at the Butler Farm Show Inc. fairgrounds.

Another device associated with Crooks took a flight from Pittsburgh to Logan International Airport in Boston on March 1, then went to a hotel in Plymouth Harbor, Mass. The device returned to Pittsburgh on March 4.

A phone device linked to Crooks visited the Allegheny Arms & Gun Works in Bethel Park on Aug. 30, 2023, the report said.

The devices linked to Crooks’ home and work addresses also visited various spots in Bethel Park, including the YMCA, a building that houses a karate school and a laundromat, a garden center, a golf course, and a Planet Fitness, the report said.

“We are willing to cooperate with legitimate investigations and share further information,” Oversight Project Director Mike Howell wrote on X.

“For the protection of whistleblowers and our investigation, we will not be sharing further information with the congressional task force due to the connective tissue between that entity and FBI, USSS and other entities,” Howell wrote."
 
Chris Wray, attorney from the W Administration

Everyone still defending the W Administration is defending Chris Wray too.

Chris Wray has presided over one act of mass murder and treason after another. He was the enforcer of the Covid Fraud. He has hidden the FBI fraud case against the "climate scientists." He enabled the mass murder on Maui and blamed it on the Co2 FRAUD. He authorized lethal force raiding Mara Lago. And he was 100% in charge of the MISS 7/13.

And what does the W crowd have to say???

What they always say, over and over, WE CARE ABOUT ISRAEL, JUST ISRAEL, and ONLY ISRAEL....

Plausible Deniability. If Crooks would of murdered President Trump then he would be hailed a hero who stopped Hitler from destroying democracy, and Joe Bribem would still be running. Since Crookes missed, he is the scape goat of the Joe Bribem Admin, and Joe had to step down because the lying Democrats knew that Joe had dementia and couldnt beat a felon for the Presidency.
 
The Blaze says so
It must be true
Dan Rather and CBS used 1972 Microsoft Word Documents as proof that George W Bush was AWOL from National Guard duty. Microsoft was not founded until 1974 and MS Word didn’t come out until the late ‘70s.

Yet CBS thrives today and can be trusted despite the attempt by Dan Rather and the network to interfere with a Presidential election.
 
Which is why he was not the shooter and is an Intel asset and now doubtless a full time agent but totally off -grid .
His part was to be apparently killed -- a Faked Death .

Told you all of that the following day .
You guys are Goofy

How would the Heritage Foundation know that a specific phone is associated with a specific person?

Geo cacheing data available to the public is stripped of identifying information. Its available only for datamining and more gerneral analysis. You could see where say, 10,000 cellphones were to try to determine patterns of movement for a given part of town. But you wouldn't know who any of them were.

So lets say Trump wins and tells the NSA to find out who all Crooks was near before the shooting.

The NSA could settle this very quickly.

Its not. You cannot purchase information on an individual's cellphone.

Police need warrants to get that information directly from phone carriers.
 
So maybe a good guy NSA analyst investigated? Not sure if Snowden was a good guy or not?

Yeah, I'm not so interested in an imagined hypothetical as I am to the specific of this case.

Geocaching data for a specific, named person's cell phone is not available to the general public for sale. Nor is it public information.

There's a reason that police need warrants to collect such information directly from phone carriers. The Heritage Foundation is lying if they claim this is public info.

They weren't for a 'specific, named person', they were tied to cell phone numbers, which is absolutely public info. Advertisers track where you go, what you say, what you browse, all to target ads to your specific phone, and you typically give that permission when you click through all of the 'I accept' terms when you're downloading and installing various apps.

No, they aren't. The geocaching data doesn't include phone numbers either. It includes NO identifying information. Nor does the Heritage Foundation claim that they linked the phone to Crooks by his 'phone number'.

If anyone could track anyone's cell phone geocaching data, the police wouldn't bother with warrants for this very information. Nor would they be seeking it from the phone carriers.

It would also be a stalking nightmare, as any abuser could just download anyone's location with nothing but their cell number. That geocaching information linked to a specific phone number is simply NOT publicly available.
