Grateful to @MattWalshBlog for featuring our work. Our investigation tracks the digital footprint of Willy Tepes, the online extremist who connected with Thomas Crooks years before the Butler Assassination Attempt.
Full investigation here: https://t.co/2qOAOBQrQO
We've also got more records on his PayPal account "Rod Swanson" -- which happens to be the same name as a former FBI agent involved in the Las Vegas shooting investigation -- as well as records showing he was on Patreon.
Seeing so many tragedies on social media and how we are not designed for that reminds me of EMTs and priests. Their entire days is spend counseling the grieving. EMTs woefully underpaid. When I found out their hourly wage, I did not believe it.
Took great pleasure in voting for Bruce Blakeman @NassauExec@sarithaforny@TheRealCShinkle today. It's not too late to vote to save New York!
Polls are open until 9pm.
The wait is short.

Watch the president's midterm-eve interview tomorrow with me on Pod Force One. Pardons, vetoes, the handsomest cabinet member, and a boom-time prediction of higher incomes, more jobs and manufacturing.
Plus his wish for a third term and nostalgia for the last rallies of his presidency.

Today is National First Responders Day.
As Mayor of Slippery Rock, one of the greatest honors is standing with the men and women who protect and serve our community serving as volunteer firefighters, police officers, EMS, and more.
That’s why I’m proud to Back the Blue and support Fire & Rescue. These heroes show up when it matters most, often as volunteers, and our community is stronger and safer because of them.
May God bless our first responders 🇺🇸
🚨HUGE ARREST ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
The man we called "Nomad" - an O9A-affiliated violent extremist who plotted to assassinate President Trump, myself, and many others - is officially behind bars.
Lakotah Salvini - aka “IA Nomad” @IceAgeNomad aka “James Washington” aka “Sinistrous” of the former Rapewaffen Division - has been arrested and indicted on federal charges of fraud and impersonating a federal officer.
Nomad first popped up on my radar in early 2024 as I was beginning my investigation into the 764 network and its connection to the Satanic accelerationist cult Order of Nine Angles (O9A).
Nomad weaseled his way into various gun and veteran communities here on X, convincing many that he was a CIA contractor and attempting to recruit them into his fake PMC, Castle International.
From there, he tried to manipulate them to commit crimes, including assassinations, on his behalf with the promise of federal immunity.
I tried like hell to convince the gun and vet communities on X that Nomad was not only a fraud, but a dangerous violent extremist affiliated with O9A. I took a lot of arrows in the process, but cooler heads eventually prevailed, and Nomad was publicly outed.
In retaliation, Nomad, his 764-affiliated associate “Mercury”, and several others embarked on a 2 year long campaign to assassinate me and others who stood in the way of their goals.
Nomad’s crew also acted as pro-Ukrainian and anti-Trump extremists. They recruited for bogus operations in Ukraine, rubbed shoulders with serious foreign neo-Nazi factions, and discussed plans to assassinate President Trump on several occasions.
For 2 years I waited for the feds to finally arrest him so that my family and I could feel safe again.
Nomad was never a "fed" of any sort. In fact, he wasn't even American. He was a Canadian citizen living in the US illegally when he was detained by ICE in August after a strategically placed tip.
From there, the FBI indicted him on one count of Conspiracy to Commit Offense or Defraud the US and one count of Impersonating a Federal Officer.
These charges don't even begin to cover the extent of his crimes or the danger he poses to our country. I am holding out hope that there will be a superseding indictment, but at least now he's in custody.
This entire saga is deserving of a multi-part article, video essay, and honestly a Netflix deal. In the meantime, I will try to outline the major details in the thread.
It's a long story, but I promise it's worth the read. Bust out your popcorn for THE NOMAD FILES.
‼️ This is a MAJOR piece of info ‼️
Thomas Matthew Crooks attending a Democratic Socialist of America event 2 days before J13 Butler Pa Trump assassination attempt!!
@KanekoaTheGreat@CitizenComm @CommCommotion @BreannaMorello
Is this the “peaceful Democratic political event” being discussed in the Thomas Crooks FBI files?
Did Thomas have a connection to this Pittsburgh DSA event and / or meetings?
2 years ago today, @POTUS@realDonaldTrump returned to the Butler Farm Show to pay his respects to Corey Comperatore’s family and to all of us who stood with him through the worst.
It was the honor of a lifetime to serve as MC at that rally and to welcome President Trump back to our back yard.
Grateful to the Patriots who joined us 🇺🇸
Chuck Grassley received a 600 page collection consisting of FBI investigative records on Butler, PA and Thomas Crooks. It includes interviews with Crooks’ relatives, neighbors, teachers and classmates, as well as law enforcement reports and other investigative material.
An NBC article covered a few for details. When will the records be made available to the public @ChuckGrassley?
Some new Thomas Crooks details I learned from the article:
-He was described by a Keystone Shooting Center employee as “an odd duck.”
The same employee said he was “not someone they would want their daughter to spend time with.”
-He was described as a “history buff and could name all the U.S. presidents.
He enjoyed discussing the New Deal.
-Investigators wrote: “What makes Thomas ‘tic’ was his enjoyment in being ‘the smartest person in the room.’”
-He “would ‘shut down’” around large groups of people or authority figures.
-He was interested in 3D printers and made small boats and “dragon eggs.”
The public has the right to know and review the documents.

Thomas Crooks may have received a package from Hong Kong in January 2023, according to the latest batch of FBI records obtained by @JudicialWatch
(Judicial Watch interpreted the "HK" in the below texts as "Hong Kong")
Why is the @FBI drip-feeding out this information? There's no active investigation, the perp is dead and the threats to @POTUS remain. It's baffling and frustrating and ominous.
- Latest, via @JudicialWatch
Thomas Crooks exchanged messages with an “unknown contact” about 3D-printed “parts” and used code words with another unidentified person.
“Did you 3D print the parts?” read one message Crooks received on one of his multiple phones 5 months before his July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump.
Crooks responded, “Yes, except for the fan blades.”
@nypost has reported previously on Crooks’ experiments building a firearm with his 3D printer.
He used his father's rifle in the attack.

“we found no evidence that that individual was literally even speaking to any other human being other than his parents who he resided with. And so that's sort of where we're at.”

Testimony at FBI Oversight Hearing
Text messages released to @JudicialWatch from the FBI say otherwise.
