New Red Flags in Trump Butler Shooting as Shooter’s Emails Emerge
The MeidasTouch Podcast dissects a growing web of inconsistencies surrounding Donald Trump's claimed assassination attempts, arguing that the official narrative is unraveling under scrutiny. The episode centers on newly revealed FBI documents obtained via a FOIA lawsuit by Judicial Watch, which show that a Butler County Sheriff's deputy exchanged emails with the July 13, 2024 shooter, Thomas Crooks, before the attack—details heavily redacted by the FBI. This raises urgent questions about why the government is withholding such information, especially when the shooter was a registered Republican and his father had been profiled by Trump’s 2016 campaign as a top-tier gun-owning GOP supporter. The podcast further challenges the credibility of Trump’s medical narrative, noting that a gunshot to the ear from an AR-15 would cause catastrophic facial trauma, not a minor scar. The host argues that Trump is weaponizing these incidents—especially the Butler shooting—for political theater, using them to justify building a $1 billion golden ballroom and to rally sympathy. The episode also critiques the handling of the Nasseri Best incident at the White House, where a known schizophrenic with a history of threats was allowed to roam freely before being shot by Secret Service.
The FBI redacted all details of two pre-attack emails between the Butler Sheriff's Office and shooter Thomas Crooks—raising serious questions about what was communicated.
Crooks’ father was profiled by Trump’s 2016 campaign as a top-tier Republican gun owner, suggesting a possible connection between the shooter and Trump’s political data operations.
A gunshot wound to the ear from an AR-15 would cause catastrophic facial damage—not a minor scar—making Trump’s medical narrative medically implausible.
Trump is using multiple alleged assassination attempts to justify building a $1 billion golden ballroom, turning trauma into political theater.
The Nasseri Best incident involved a known schizophrenic with prior threats to the White House, who was allowed to roam freely despite being on a federal watchlist.
