FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate initiated the discussion during a Senate Homeland Security and Judiciary Committee hearing, suggesting that the FBI may have found a clue. &#8220;We recently uncovered a social media account believed to be linked to the shooter from around 2019-2020,&#8221; Abbate stated, mentioning that this account had over 700 comments but did not specify which platform it was on. He added that some comments attributed to the shooter seemed to express anti-Semitic and anti-immigration sentiments advocating for political violence and were described as extreme in nature. At that time, Crooks would have been approximately 15 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Torba, CEO of the social media platform Gab, strongly contested these claims. He previously posted on X about &#8220;the deranged Joe Biden supporter who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump&#8221; possibly having an account on Gab. Torba pointed out nine posts from 2021 where Crooks expressed support for Biden&#8217;s immigration policies and COVID-19 lockdowns. He criticized the FBI&#8217;s assertion regarding an unspecified social media account posting &#8220;anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic&#8221; content when Crooks was just 14 or 15 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Torba emphasized that this narrative does not align with Gab\u2019s understanding of Crooks\u2019 motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request (EDR) they received from the FBI last week concerning an account named &#8216;EpicMicrowave,&#8217; which they believed belonged to him. The post gained traction online as people shared it widely.<\/p>\n<p>Torba argued that motives are influencing how investigators are approaching the truth behind why Crooks targeted Trump. He noted skepticism among some reporters about Gab\u2019s claims regarding law enforcement communications but felt compelled to disclose information due to public interest in transparency.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated that data requested pertained unequivocally to a pro-Biden stance, particularly supporting his immigration policy; according to Gab&#8217;s knowledge as of 2021, Crooks was characterized as a left-wing Biden supporter who favored lockdowns and immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>A former classmate recounted how even before then, Crooks had shown disdain for Trump during discussions in high school debates following the 2016 election<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2316521,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/crooks-for-july-31-2024.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3850,5591,32364],"class_list":["post-2316520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-ceo","tag-fbi","tag-social-media"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/crooks-for-july-31-2024.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2316520"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316520\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2316521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2316520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2316520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2316520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
