Investigators believe Thomas Crooks may have planned on blowing up his car as a distraction so he could assassinate Trump. Or possibly a distraction for his escape.
A metal box of explosives connected by wires to a receiver were found in his car which could be detonated by a remote control they found on his body.
What's even more bizarre is that investigators have reportedly found *nothing* through his search history of him learning how to make homemade explosives.
In the final 48 hours leading up to the incident, Crooks went to the range, went to a Home Depot to purchase a ladder, and then went to a gun store where he bought ammo.
Investigators have successfully broken into his phone but claim they have found no motive. Imagine that. I'm skeptical because the kid seems to be fairly prepared, skilled in making his IED and evidently had a contingency plan as it appears. Yet they found no trace on his electronic devices or home computers?
Nothing about this makes any sense.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because hard men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
