This Trump Campaign national database of right wing gun owners sort of ties up some unanswered questions. Like why Barr released Butina and why Barr, McGonigal, among others, provided cover for Russian interference.

Also helps to explain why the NRA/GOP was in bed with Russian Spies among other nefarious actions...

1. The shooter (Thomas Crooks) live streamed his drone sweep of the farm show/rally on July 13, 2024.

My title assumes that Thomas Crooks was the person piloting the drone.

In congressional testimony on July 24, 2024, I'm pretty sure I heard FBI Director Wray testify that:

Crooks live streamed his drone sweep of the farm show/rally. This assumes that Crooks piloted the drone

ON EDIT: Confirmed. Wray testified and said drone/livestream before members of the House Judiciary Committee.
Source: CSPAN video, FBI Director Testifies on Trump Assassination Attempt and Agency Oversight, Part 1.
at about the 36:33 mark

The FBI? found the drone in the alleged shooter's car. Did they get finger prints on all this shit?

FBI director said the drone footage/surveillance was live streamed. (This is the part of testimony I need to review)

FBI director said something I don't understand: the drone footage was forward as well as backward. I am naive enough to wonder why is forward/backward relevant...

So my questions are:

Was Crooks "driving the drone" ? Or did someone else do it, then put the drone in the shooter's car.

Who saw the live stream as it was going on?

How much engagement did the live stream get?

What was the location of the viewers of the live stream?

WTF did authorities allow a drone over the farm show/rally site? Esp. on the day of rally?

How far back will the FBI timeline go? They are still working out a minute by minute, second by second timeline of the rally day. Okay by me.

But the NRA and Cambridge Analytica collaborated to nefarious ends to successfully put their Russian puppet in the Oval Office.

The family of Thomas Crooks (shooter) family was a part of the Trump campaign data (NRA, Cambridge Analytica, and Maria Butina, Russia) to target and influence voters. And hopefully nothing more than for voting.

Where did the gun data go after, say, 2016ish?

What was the outcome of Senator Blumenthal's 2022ish inquiry to the National Shooting Sports Foundation about gun data surrounding issues?

Was Thomas Crooks, age 20, in the current Trump campaign database? Did the campaign target Crooks to get his vote and nothing but his vote?

When did Thomas Crooks join the gun group that was on his t-shirt?

Day of rally question: The father of Thomas Crooks called authorities because the father was worried about his kid. What specific information started the father's worry? Worried enough to call the cops.

I personally would like a much longer timeline than the day of July 13, 2024.

WILL SOMEBODY ASK FBI DIRECTOR THIS "OLDER STUFF" in a congressional hearing?
