Trump Attempted Assassin’s Identity Still Not Known in Butler, PA

Republished with permission from AbleChild

AbleChild has recently obtained a copy of the much sought after autopsy results of alleged attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks. In a word, the autopsy leaves a lot to be desired and, frankly, even with the autopsy, the public still has not been provided physical evidence to, once and for all, indict Thomas Matthew Crooks as the shooter.

First, the autopsy of the alleged shooter was only made public when the Headline USA reporter, Kenneth Silva, filed suit with the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) to obtain “the medical examiner case information summary, as well as all lab analysis reports, exam images, pathology reports, histology slide recuts, toxicology reports, and scene images for Thomas Matthew Crooks.” The request also included “all records that document the transportation and chain of custody of Crooks’s body from the crime scene to the Alleghany (sic) County Office of the Medical Examiner or any other coroner’s office, including yours – including all internal communications about this decision.”

As expected, and in keeping with all the other investigative reports and materials surrounding this attempted assassination, the request was denied. Silva appealed and was awarded the right to the autopsy but any information dealing with the “histology slides (which would determine the DNA of the shooter), crime scene photos and exam images were denied.

What is most interesting is that despite the entire free world still blabbing about Thomas Matthew Crooks being the shooter, the data released by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner (ME) not only doesn’t describe how the body autopsied was identified, but admits that the Butler County Coroner, William Young, did not provide written communications about the transport or chain of custody of the deceased. Why?

For the record, neither the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), Butler Police Depts., Butler County Coroner, or the Allegheny County Medical Examiner have publicly provided any physical evidence that conclusively identifies Crooks as the shooter.

It is of interest that Silva was advised that the Butler County Coroner, William Young, attested that his office did not possess any records or communications about the transport of the deceased to the Allegheny County ME. How is that possible? How could the Butler Coroner not have any notes about his communications with the Allegheny County ME about the transport of the deceased? Given that this was an attempted assassination of a former President one might assume that copious notes would be taken… at least for posterities sake. Didn’t happen.

Now recall that it was the Butler County Coroner, William Young, who arrived at the AGR building after midnight on the day of the shooting and was told to return the following morning. Who shooed the coroner away, telling him to come back later? You guessed it. The coroner has never disclosed that information. Nevertheless, Young returned the following morning and arranged to have the body transported to the Allegheny ME in Pittsburgh.

So, here’s the question. What documentation did the Allegheny ME receive on the morning of July 14th, 2024, that convinced him that the body of the deceased before him was that of Thomas Matthew Crooks? The only evidence the ME received was “a clear plastic bag containing medium length brown hair.” And, the autopsy report states, “an Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s identification tag is present around the left ankle.” Great. What does it say and who wrote the tag?

The questions regarding the identification of the alleged shooter are not small. Consider for a moment that at some point the deceased would have been searched. How did the Butler County Coroner identify the deceased? Did he take the word of law enforcement at the scene? Did the alleged shooter have a wallet with identification in it? Were the parents called in to identify the body? Did the fingerprints taken at autopsy match fingerprints of the alleged shooter Thomas Crooks from his employer? Did DNA tests conclude the deceased identification? What’s the big secret? Just make the public aware of how the deceased was identified.

But even when the Allegheny County ME testified before the Congressional Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump his recollections seemed odd. For example, in what can only be described as extremely brief testimony, Allegheny County ME Ariel Goldschmidt said, “our office was not involved in the transportation of the decedents, however, once they were transported to our office, the required chain of custody paperwork was processed.”  And ME Goldschmidt also reports that “my involvement in the case was limited to the autopsy…I had no reports from or involvement in the investigation into Mr. Crooks’ motives and actions, crime scene evidence or other outside evidence as part of my work.”

It seems odd that the ME would feel the need to explain what the ME’s office was not involved in. It seems odd that the ME would feel the need to explain that his office had nothing to do with transport or chain of custody before the body arrived at the ME’s office.

There is much that the autopsy does not reveal including the results of the gunshot residue tests. Why would that information be withheld? Why is the information relating to the identification of the body a state secret? It is no secret that the deceased alleged shooter’s body lay on the roof of the AGR building all night. Who had chain of command of the body throughout the night? The FBI? The Secret Service? One would think that the Butler County Coroner would want that documented. Nothing.

And, before the body was transported to the Allegheny ME, which law enforcement agency cataloged and recorded all the evidence at the scene and who signed off on the chain of custody forms? Where is all the evidence that was collected at the scene?

It would seem appropriate that state of local police would have had jurisdiction but in this case the FBI apparently took control of the investigation. So, one must wonder why the Pennsylvania State Police are refusing to release its investigation.

But there are processes in all death investigations that all law enforcement follows. Why does the investigation into the attempted assassination of a former President look like amateurs are running the show? Why, with so many law enforcement agencies involved and several medical personnel, both the Butler Coroner and the Allegheny ME, can’t the public get a straight answer?

This is really very simple. Who identified the body of the alleged shooter and what method was utilized to identify the body? This isn’t rocket science. It’s universal procedures of investigation 101 that so far has escaped the reported investigative experts.

Twice-failed Presidential candidate Kamala Harris will hit the trail again at home and abroad this fall, not to campaign (officially) but to sell her upcoming memoir and speak to supporters in liberal cities across the nation.

While she will visit a few red states, Harris’s events will only be in cities that supported her in the 2024 election.

If you want to attend and potentially meet Kamala Harris, tickets will be available here.

Harris announced the tour with a video on social media.

WATCH:


“107 Days is my candid and personal account of the shortest presidential campaign in modern history,” Harris said on X.

“Over the next few months, I will travel our country to share behind-the-scenes moments, lessons learned, and how we keep moving forward together.”

Harris previously announced her upcoming “107 Days” memoir will be released on September 23 as the unemployed former Vice President looks to cash in on her failed presidential bid. According to a synopsis, “written with candor, a unique perspective, and the pace of a page-turning novel, 107 Days takes you inside the race for the presidency as no one has ever done before.”

Per NBC News:

“During these special events, Harris will share what she saw, what she learned, and what it will take to move forward,” book publisher Simon & Schuster wrote in a press release. Most of the conversations are slated to take place in theaters and music halls. Organizers have not announced moderators for the events.

Several small and independently owned bookstores will be partnering with Harris in cities along the tour, which was an intentional move by the former vice president, according to a source familiar with her plans.

That source told NBC News that Harris expanded the tour to include more “untraditional” markets like Portland, Oregon, and Durham, North Carolina, and that it’s possible she makes additional surprise visits around formal book events.

While some events are scheduled in reliably conservative states, including Texas, Tennessee and Alabama, the tour will likely fuel even more speculation around Harris’ political future.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Harris ruled out a bid for Governor of California last month, fueling speculation that she may run for President a third time.

In her first interview since losing the election last November, Harris joined late-night liberal host Stephen Colbert and credited the “broken” system for her decision not to run for Governor.

From September 24 to November 20, Harris plans to travel across the United States, London, UK, and Toronto, Ontario to sell her book.

Will County Democrat Jacqueline Traynere — Who Once Struck a Child With Her Car — Now CHARGED With Three Counts of Computer Tampering After Allegedly Hacking Fellow Board Members’ Emails

Will County Democrat Jacqueline Traynere — Who Once Struck a Child With Her Car — Now CHARGED With Three Counts of Computer Tampering After Allegedly Hacking Fellow Board Members’ Emails
August 21, 2025

The scandals surrounding Will County Democrat Jacqueline Traynere keep piling up.

Traynere, a Democrat Will County Board member serving Bolingbrook, Illinois, is now officially charged with three counts of computer tampering, according to documents filed in Will County Circuit Court this week, Patch reported.

The charges stem from an incident in March 2024 when Traynere allegedly accessed the private email account of Republican Board Chair Judy Ogalla without authorization. Prosecutors say Traynere then forwarded Ogalla’s conversations to Democrat County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant in an apparent attempt to undermine her political opponents.

Computer tampering is a Class B misdemeanor in Illinois.

More from the Chicago Tribune:

Traynere, a Bolingbrook Democrat, allegedly accessed the email account of board member Judy Ogalla, a Monee Republican, in March 2024 without Ogalla’s authorization, according to the charges.

The misdemeanor charges filed by special prosecutor William Elward state Traynere forwarded emails from Ogalla’s account to herself and others.

Ogalla, who was the Will County Board chairman at the time, said that Traynere knowingly accessed her email and knew it was unethical.

Ogalla questioned whether Traynere had opened her email more than once. She said she doesn’t know what all Traynere saw.

“Was she in my email other times and I just didn’t know?” Ogalla said. “She shouldn’t have done it.”

An email exchanged between board member Steve Balich, a Homer Glen Republican, and Ogalla regarding the controversial 143rd Street road widening project had been forwarded to the county executive, who replied to the email, Balich said during a July 2024 news conference with other County Board Republicans.

This isn’t Traynere’s first brush with controversy. Earlier this year, she was involved in a disturbing incident where she struck a child riding a bicycle with her car.

The Chicago Tribune reported before:

Jacqueline Traynere, the past Democratic Leader from Bolingbrook, was involved in the accident about 8:15 a.m. March 11 at the intersection of Lily Cache and Lindsey lanes in Bolingbrook, a police report said.

Traynere was issued a citation for failure to yield in a crosswalk.

The child was riding a bike east on the sidewalk near Lily Cache and Lindsey lanes and entered the crosswallk while the southbound traffic was stopped, according to the report. The child told officers he thought the crosswalk light was illuminated, indicating it was safe to cross, before entering the crosswalk.

As the bicyclist was crossing the street, a blue car allegedly driven by Traynere pulled forward and struck him on the left side, the police report said.

The child fell off the bike and was uninjured, the report said.

WATCH: Alex Jones Predicts that Venezuelan Dictator Maduro Will ‘Get His A** Blown Off’
August 21, 2025

AI-generated image by Grok: Nicolas Maduro and Alex Jones.

Maduro is on the crosshairs?

Hated by Globalists and liberals, Alex Jones is called a ‘far-right radio show host and prominent conspiracy theorist’.

But conservatives know Jones to be spot-on regarding endless issues afflicting the US and the world.

So, when he speaks, we pay attention.

And Jones is predicting terrible days for Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

The US is moving in on Maduro.

We have been reporting on how the US DOJ is upping the pressure on Maduro, with an indictment and a $50M bounty on his head, calling him a narco-terrorist and a cartel leader.

And it’s not just hurtful words, either: the Donald J. Trump administration has unleashed the biggest military operation in South America in 25 years.

The US military has deployed over 4,000 Marines and sailors to the waters around Latin America and the Caribbean as part of a ‘counter-cartel mission’.

This deployment includes the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (comprising the USS Iwo Jima, USS Fort Lauderdale, and USS San Antonio), a nuclear-powered attack submarine, three destroyers (USS Gravely, USS Jason Duhan, and USS Sampson) a guided-missile cruiser, and additional P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft.

AI by Grok: Maduro is playing tough.

Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro is trying to act in control, and announced the mobilization of a 4.5 million-strong militia – but he was forced to enact a draconian Counter-Intelligence operation against his own entire cabinet, purging his top aides for ‘alleged treason and conspiracy’ – with a $50 million reward, his people are flipping hard and fast.

So, the prediction by Alex Jones is hardly out of the realm of possibilities, especially since the ‘decapitation strikes’ have become widespread.

“Well, it’s not gonna be quiet with Mexico and Venezuela. And I’m predicting on the current trajectory that the United States will start striking cartels in Mexico – and the Mexican president says it’s an act of war. Well, go ahead and do something.

And then Venezuela, very good chance you’re gonna see Maduro get his ass blown off. Very good chance you’re gonna see the presidential palace and the rest of it and his people killed with bombs, 2000-pound bombs.”

Two New Witnesses Come Forward in Sex-For-Favor Case That Lead to Judge’s Assassination by the County’s Sheriff

Two New Witnesses Come Forward in Sex-For-Favor Case That Lead to Judge’s Assassination by the County’s Sheriff
August 21, 2025

New accusations have been made against a slain judge in Letcher County, KY.  Judge Kevin Mullins, who was assassinated in his chambers by the county’s Sheriff, Shawn “Mickey” Stines, was alleged to have run or participated in a “sex-for-favors” scandal involving sheriff’s deputies and inmates.

In September 2024, Sheriff Stines was filmed on security cameras engaging with Mullins in his chambers, making phone calls on both his and the judge’s cell phones, and then firing eight shots, killing the judge.  Later, it would come out that Stines first used his phone to call his daughter.  When that call was unsuccessful, he used the judge’s phone to dial her number.  Almost immediately following the calls, Stines shot Mullins, who was hiding under his desk.

Prior to the confrontation in the chambers, a Kentucky State Police detective said the two had lunch together with several others.  During the lunch, Mullins asked Stines if they needed to meet privately in his chambers for an unknown reason.

In December 2024, a woman who had sued the Letcher County Sheriff’s Department in federal court came forward with more information regarding Judge Mullins’ sexual misconduct.  As The Gateway Pundit reported, Sabrina Adkins said that she had watched a video of Mullins having sex with a female inmate in his chambers.

A co-plaintiff in that lawsuit died of a drug overdose after the suit was filed, according to The Mountain Eagle.

The lawsuit alleged that these sexual encounters with Judge Mullins and Deputy Ben Fields, who was convicted of third-degree rape and third-degree sodomy, were in exchange for favorable treatment while in jail and on home incarceration.  Fields was sentenced to six months in prison and six and a half years’ probation.

Now, NewsNation’s “Banfield” has conducted two exclusive interviews with witnesses to the sex-for-favors scandal.

Tya Adams said that she knew Mullins before he became a judge because her sister worked for him when he was the Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney.  Adams claimed her first sexual interaction with him came when she was supposed to learn how to take a deposition, according to her interview.

“I gave him oral with my shirt pulled down, and whenever we were done, he threw money in my face and told me to clean myself up and reminded me that I knew better than to tell my sister,” Adams told NewsNation.

From then on, Adams claims, Mullins introduced her to his friends, other lawyers, and engaged in “sex parties, performed shows, and had sex with them for money.”

Adams was asked if she felt like she could say no.  She quickly responded, “No.”  She continued, “They would make sure to make you feel as small and degraded and belittled as possible.  To take your power away, you know.”

She then acknowledged that “we were having fun, too…we were doing drugs, we [were] doing coke, a lot of cocaine, partying.  It wasn’t like they were…raping…like physically when they hear the word ‘rape.’  It was consensual.  It was the thing that we were so young, and they used it against us to destroy our lives later…with the legal system…CPS…systematically removing your whole life…piece by piece.”

Asked if she had sex with him after he became a judge, Adams said, “Yeah.  I’ve had sex with him in the chambers…upstairs.”  She then said that the room in the shooting video that was published was not the original chambers.

In another interview, NewsNation spoke with Sarah Davis, a former deputy jailer.  Davis said had never actually seen any of the sexual conduct, but heard “nasty and sickening” stories.

Davis said she thought of the jail as a “brothel.”  She mentioned a female colleague who she claimed would take male inmates into a lockable storage room and, sometimes others would take their victims up to the courthouse itself after hours.

According to Davis, supervisors would sign out inmates and bring them home to engage in sexual favors.

When asked what inmates would get in return for the sexual favors, Davis said, “If they’re sleeping with the guards, it’s mostly for things like cigarettes, time out of the cell, pops, commissary, things like that.”

Davis believed that after Sheriff Stines shot Mullins, “a lot of the corruption was going to come out” and the Sheriff “either knew something or something was going on that he knew about” and that “he was doing something to protect us.”

Mullins at one point invited Davis herself to what she believed was a sex party.  Twice.  She declined both times.

Despite pressure from former colleagues to remain silent, Adams said she is speaking out for future generations.

As far as Sheriff Stines’ trial, defense attorneys have requested a $50,000 bond, claiming that he is not a flight risk or a security risk.  Prosecutors contend that capital offenses in Kentucky are not eligible for bail.

Additional arguments were ordered by Circuit Judge Christopher Cohron to be submitted by September 2nd.
