The picture the FBI is trying to paint around the assassination attempt 'makes no sense'

Sen. Ron Johnson blasted the FBI on Tuesday for trying to portray Trump assassination suspect Thomas Crooks as some sort of right-winger.

Appear on Fox News”Ingraham's angle,” he said straight up that this FBI-made-up narrative is garbage.

“They're trying to paint this as a MAGA Republican trying to take out, I guess, the MAGA president,” he said. “It doesn't make any sense, but that's why you can't trust the FBI.”

His remarks came hours after FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the agency had located a Gab social media account belonging to Crooks that contained anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant content .

The “anti-immigrant” part sparked accusations on social media that Crooks had been a so-called MAGA extremist.

But according to Gab founder Andrew Torba, there's a big problem with that narrative. In a tweet posted shortly after the hearing Tuesday afternoon, he claimed that Crooks' account had included pro-immigration and pro-Biden content.

“[T]his account … was unequivocally pro-Biden and particularly Biden's immigration policy,” he wrote. “To the best of Gab's knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a supporter of “Joe Biden's leftists in favor of the blockade, of immigration”.

But there is more.

“The account was last active on the site in 2021,” Torba continued in another post. “To the best of our knowledge, the account did not use the site to send any direct messages. It posted to the site nine (9) times in total.”

“Although the account made very few posts on the site, the majority were supportive of President Biden. In particular, several posts expressed support for President Biden's COVID lockdowns, border policies, and executive orders,” it added.

This time it included receipts.

Look at:

In a Gab message that Crooks posted on February 3, he defended President Joe Biden's immigration policies and illegal immigration itself.

“Biden's executive orders do not encourage human trafficking, as traffickers are not interested in citizenship,” he falsely claimed. “Similarly, most illegal immigrants are not criminals, and in fact some studies (like the one linked below) show lower rates of crime committed by such people.”

The bogus BS talking points were straight out of the Democrats playbook.

In a post published on February 4, 2021, he mocked another Gab user for correctly predicting that disgraced former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney would lose the 2022 primary.

“You don't think Biden would lose in a landslide, yeah, I wouldn't put much faith in your election predictions,” Crooks cockily replied.

It appears, for all intents and purposes, that the FBI lied when it claimed that Crooks' account contained anti-immigrant content. The critics, for their part, are not surprised at all.
