Although interest is waning in the thread... I thought I would add this little bit to the account:
From Fox News: FBI fires back at claims it released Crooks' body for cremation days after Trump assassination attempt
Reportedly, The would-be assassin's remains were release for cremation just 10 days after the crime was attempted... which does seem strangely accelerated considering the magnitude of the event. But then, would there have been anything else to learn after the autopsy had been performed?
The FBI has fired back at claims by a GOP congressman that the agency released the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks for cremation just 10 days after his assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month.
The agency says it refutes allegations by Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., who says that when he requested to view Crooks' body on Aug. 5, nobody on the ground in Butler knew it had been handed back to the suspect's family on July 23. Higgins said the revelation "caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact."
Higgins, a former police chief, is looking into the deadly July 13 incident as part of a bi-partisan congressional task force and made the claims in a stunning preliminary report which is highly critical of the FBI’s investigation into the matter. Higgins says the releasing of the body, and other claims of bad practice leveled at the FBI, amounts to an "obstruction to any following investigative effort."
I'm uncertain of the claim that the FBI "cleaned-up" the location around the body before the police had finished collecting evidence... it seems a rather extreme claim.
"They had to know that releasing the J13 crime scene would injure the immediate observations of any following investigation," Higgins writes.
Higgins also alleges that the FBI cleaned up biological evidence from the crime scene, which he says is "unheard of."
"Cops don’t do that, ever," Higgins writes.
But the FBI also hit back against those claims, telling Fox News Digital that the crime scene was released to the property owners in phases and that "nothing was rushed and everything was documented as part of the investigation."
Add to that the fact that the coroner's report was a week late.... you can imagine how that went over...
