Since the FBI is a corrupt, left-wing, Democrat Party pushing satrapy, it seems clear that we will never be able to believe a word they say about their “investigation” into this second assassination attempt aimed at Donald Trump. And Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says he is stepping up to run his own investigation into the murder attempt.
The State of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club.
The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP…

Per Hot Air:
“The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin,” Governor Ron DeSantis declared late yesterday. He likely means both would-be assassins, since we still know precious little about Thomas Matthew Crooks, who wounded Trump and two other people and killed Corey Comperatore before getting shot to death by a local police sniper. In fact, we’ve barely heard anything about Crooks, either from law enforcement or the media, since that day in Butler County, PA.
DeSantis has assigned this to the two state law-enforcement agencies at his command. The Department of Law Enforcement, which is the equivalent of what other states call a Bureau of Investigation, and the Highway Patrol. The latter took Routh into custody, apparently, after pulling over his vehicle while Routh tried to flee. The question will be how much cooperation and coordination the FDLE and FHP will get from the FBI and especially the DoJ. Even without the political overtones, the DoJ does not have a great reputation for playing well with other law-enforcement agencies when jurisdictions overlap.
Even if the DoJ pulls rank and tries to shine Florida on, DeSantis’ announcement and investigation will keep pressure on Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray. DeSantis can force the two of them to respond by speaking out about what his investigators can find on their own, and that will force the media to cover the story. When was the last time we got an update on Crooks and his background, communications, and potential connections to others?
There are a lot of unanswered questions here…
Who told the assassin that Trump would be at that particular golf course at that particular time? The trip to the course was not on his public schedule, nor was it announced. Who told the killer Trump would be there? The Secret Service and the FBI knew he was going to be there. So, who reached out to the killer to tell him of the schedule?
The would-be assassin has been seen in Black Rock ads, wrote a book on supporting Ukraine in which he urged Iran to assassinate Trump, and even tried to join the fighters in Ukraine. So, how deep does his ties to Biden’s regime go?
He is a convicted felon. How did he get his AK47 clone (a Chinese SKS is what he had)?
He has a long history of donations to Democrats. So, how deep is he connected to the Democrat Party?
Let’s hope DeSantis can get these answers and more.
