Kash Patel: No Evidence Trump Shooter Spoke to Anyone but Parents

after combing through Thomas Crooks’s devices, the FBI has no evidence he communicated with anyone other than his parents. Not a handler. Not a network. Not some online “cell” pulling strings. If you’ve spent the last few weeks watching cable panels build elaborate plots out of thin air, that’s a pretty cold splash of reality.

It also raises an uncomfortable question for the people paid to keep a former president alive. If this looks less like a coordinated conspiracy and more like a lone actor who stewed in his own head, then the focus shifts to basics: sightlines, perimeter control, threat spotting, and why someone got close enough to take a shot at President Trump in the first place. “No evidence” is not the same as “case closed,” but it is a useful guardrail against the fever swamp.

Patel deserves credit for giving a straight answer under Sen. Mike Lee’s questioning, instead of the usual mushy “ongoing investigation” fog that drags on for months. Keep digging, keep verifying, keep following every lead. But also stop feeding the public a diet of speculation. The country needs facts, not fan fiction, especially when the subject is an attempted assassination and the target is the leading candidate the establishment still can’t stand.
