Shocking social media posts of Trump shooter Thomas Crooks are ‘revealed’ by social networking website’s CEO

The CEO of social networking website Gab has revealed messages he claims may have been written by Thomas Crooks, the alleged assassin of Donald Trump.

Andrew Torba said Wednesday that an unnamed law enforcement agency had informed him that Crooks had possibly posted pro-Biden messages on Gab, a platform known for its alt-right users and conspiracy theories.

The account @epicmicrowave, which Torba could not confirm belongs to Crooks, was last active on the site in 2021.

“To our knowledge, the account did not use the site to send direct messages,” Torba said.

“He posted on the site a total of nine (9) times… While the account posted few messages on the site, most of them were in support of President Biden.

“A number of messages specifically expressed support for President Biden’s COVID lockdowns, border policies and executive orders.”

Torba also shared images of the messages he said were written by Crooks.

In a February 2021 post, the poster responds to an election forecast with: ‘Didn’t you also think Biden would lose by a large majority? I wouldn’t put much faith in your election predictions.’

In another post, the Gab user defended Biden’s border policy by saying it doesn’t encourage human trafficking and pointed to a study comparing crime by undocumented migrants to that of legal migrants and U.S. citizens in Texas.

The poster read: ‘Biden’s executive orders do not encourage human trafficking because traffickers are not interested in citizenship. Furthermore, most illegal immigrants are not criminals. In fact, some studies (such as the one below) show that these individuals are less likely to commit crimes.’

In a February 2021 post, the writer appeared to support COVID lockdown measures: “The reason deaths are going down is because you’re stuck in your house.”

Torba claimed he had received “an emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency” and that he disclosed the messages “at significant personal and business risk.”

“If history is anything to go by, the publication of the first definitive evidence that the shooter was a Biden supporter (something Democrats and their media allies have tried hard to cover up and deny) is likely to trigger a significant political and media backlash,” Torba wrote.

“In the past, we have been the target of politically motivated investigations by both the House Oversight Committee and the Joint Committee on the January 6th Attacks. Both investigations were designed to thwart our mission to protect free speech online.”

DailyMail.com has not been able to confirm Torba’s claims and authorities have not released a motive for Crook’s attack or his political affiliation.

Investigators found no threatening comments on social media accounts or ideological positions that could help explain what led him to target Trump

According to the Anti-Defamation League, Gab is a “haven for hate and disinformation.”

According to the ADL: “Torba himself uses much of the same hateful and extremist rhetoric for which his platform is known.”

The FBI is investigating Crooks’ shooting at a Trump rally as an act of domestic terrorism.

The investigation has plunged the agency into a political maelstrom just months before the presidential election.

Lawmakers and the public are pressing for more information about Crooks’ possible motivation for the most serious attempted assassination of a president or presidential candidate since President Ronald Reagan was gunned down in 1981.

The agency has compiled a detailed timeline of Crooks’ movements and online activities, but the precise motive — or why Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, was singled out — remains unclear, Wray said.

The FBI continues to believe that Crooks, who was killed by a Secret Service sniper, acted alone.

On Tuesday, Kimberly Cheatle resigned as director of the agency amid mounting questions about the massive security lapses at the meeting.

Cheatle took responsibility for the catastrophic failures after being criticized by both Republicans and Democrats when she appeared before Congress on Monday.

The security chief has faced mounting questions about why there was no officer on the roof from which Crooks opened fire on the former president, and why Trump was allowed to take the stage even when a threat was detected.

Crooks was identified as a suspect hours before the shooting.

Wray said Crooks used ground-based mechanical equipment and vertical piping to hoist himself onto the roof of a low production building 135 meters (157 yards) from the stage.

He fired eight shots from an AR-style rifle before he was killed.

The Warren Commission report, which analyzed the Kennedy assassination, found that Kennedy was shot in the neck at a range of 53 to 58 yards.
