What the FBI Knew About Thomas Crooks

from RealClearPolitics Podcast · host RealClear Media

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss new revelations from Tucker Carlson and Miranda Devine of the New York Post that raise questions about what the FBI knew about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin who fired 8 shots at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last summer, wounding Trump and one other and killing Corey Comperatore. And they talk about, FBI Director Kash Patel coming under fire from within the agency for his use of the FBI’s plane and for providing a security detail to his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins. Next, they discuss today’s White House visit by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and yesterday’s vote by the United Nations Security Council endorsing Trump’s peace plan for Gaza. Then finally, the Director of the Chicago Policy Center, Austin Berg, joins the guys to discuss the politics behind the alarming hikes in property taxes in Cook County, and whether higher property taxes will lead to a tax revolt. Plus, they talk about the House of Representatives advancing a resolution to condemn Chicago Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García for timing his retirement announcement to ensure his chief of staff would be the only candidate able to register for the Democratic primary ballot in the race to succeed him.
