Newly released records indicate that Thomas Crooks, the individual responsible for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, had been regularly practicing rifle training at a facility frequented by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and various local and federal law enforcement agencies.

The records, which were made public recently, shed light on Crooks' extensive training sessions at the Clairton Sportsmen's Club, located in Pennsylvania. This facility is known to be a popular training ground for multiple agencies, including the DHS, FBI, and local police departments.

According to the records, Crooks had been a member of the Clairton Sportsmen's Club since August 2023 and had visited the facility a staggering 43 times within the past year. Notably, he even spent major holidays, such as Christmas Day, Valentine's Day, and Halloween, practicing his shooting skills at the club.

The revelation that Crooks was training at a facility used by law enforcement agencies has raised serious questions about the security measures in place and the potential for insider threats. Critics argue that the close proximity of Crooks to federal agents and local law enforcement officers should have raised red flags and prompted further investigation.

Furthermore, the records indicate that Crooks visited the range just one day before the assassination attempt, which took place at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. This close timing has fueled speculation about the level of coordination and planning that went into the attack.

The release of these records has sparked a heated debate about who was really responsible for this attempt. To man, as more information comes to light, to them it’s looking more and more likely it was an inside job.

As the investigation into the assassination attempt continues, authorities are expected to delve deeper into Crooks' training history and his interactions with law enforcement officers at the Clairton Sportsmen's Club. The incident has also prompted calls for a comprehensive review of security measures at public events and a reevaluation of the vetting process for individuals seeking to join shooting clubs and ranges.
