Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.
Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.
Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.
The donation? Source on that? Not doubting you
Edit: I am now doubting you. Found the FEC filing and it lists a Bethel Park, PA zip code.
Edit 2: I was asked for my source: https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/fe91e6ba36695009/ac182c3a-full.pdf
Can you share that source?
NYTimes, so there’s a paywall. It links to the FEC (wouldn’t load on mobile for me but the FEC page did fully load on my desktop).

Edit: actually, the article has been updated since I read it. It no longer links to the FEC, just a NYT screenshot:

Though it says Pitt, the zip is a Bethel Park zip
Where as the Republican party registration has other corroborating information listed, the donation doesn’t have anything other than the same first and last name. So it’s not confirmed to be the same guy yet.
Name, job, and zip code. Find me another guy living in Bethel Park with the same name who was unemployed in 2021 (edit: Bethel Park has 4 zip codes, so not even all of Bethel Park. People really think there’s another guy with such a unique name in town? None of his relatives share the same name, so an unrelated guy?)
I think you’re misreading me.
I’m saying the Republican party registration has those things, but the donation doesn’t, so could be from someone with the same first and last name from anywhere.
So the Republican party registration is this more corroborated by having the extra information. Whereas the donation isn’t, due to not having that extra information with it.
The donation does have those things. I think you’re misreading me (or the FEC filing).
The FEC filing shows name and zip code, as well as the job. It matches the voter registration. If you think there are 2 Thomas Crooks in the same 5 sq mi radius that were both unemployed at the same time, that’s pretty wild. By all means, use WhitePages to find a second Thomas Crooks who lived in 15102 in 2021 who could’ve given that donation.
Yes, the donation has since been confirmed.
Since? I think you misread my original comments lol
The street address is registered to his father.
He lives there too. Without doxing anyone or putting their info on here, you can read in the news that they all live together (dad, mom, son. Sister moved out a couple years ago)
Yes, I know.
So in the house you had the mother, the father Matthew, and the son Thomas.
Then the ActBlue donation is to a Thomas Crooks with the street address registered to Matthew Crooks.
So the idea that the donation was from some other Thomas Crooks seems unlikely, no?
Unless there’s some unmentioned Thomas Crooks that was living in the house Jan 2021.

Lots of noise right now. Dont have a source past a random comment, so doubt is warranted.
