    Clay Higgins?! Congressman is a conspiracy crockpot with his "ghost busses". Google this guy - 4th marriage and sued for back child support, challenged some guy on FB to a fight (he accepted - they didn’t fight), told blm protesters he would “drop 10 of you”.

    Out of curiosity, is there any way to know if what Higgins is saying is true?

    I'm just sharing. I would think the 2 points: 1. local shooter and 2. the cremation are pretty easy to prove.

    But they did. Local FBI couldn’t do it but HQ forensics did

    The FBI got into the Trump rally shooter’s phone in just 40 minutes

    The FBI used an unreleased tool from the Israeli mobile forensics company Cellebrite to unlock the Trump rally shooter’s phone — and opened it in less than an hour, according to reports from Bloomberg and The Washington Post.

    In a briefing with members of Congress on Wednesday, the FBI said Crooks had searched for the dates of former President Donald Trump’s public appearances, as well as the dates of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, according to various media reports. Crooks also reportedly looked up prominent figures, including FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

    And yet you’ll never provide that proof.

    Because the age and social status of an iPhone user plays a direct role in determining how difficult it would be to open an iPhone.

    And they did. You’re the one posting lies.

    'The FBI is still collecting information from devices and online accounts belonging to the 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a rally earlier this month, Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers Wednesday.

    Wray said the bureau is facing challenges with getting into “encrypted messaging applications” used by Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper team after firing at least eight shots toward the stage at the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Reports said officials have identified at least three such accounts.

    Speaking to the House Judiciary Committee, Wray said that in some cases, the FBI is waiting on “legal process returns” to get into the accounts. He did not specify what companies or services host them.

    The bureau had early success breaking into Crooks’ phone using technology from Cellebrite, a company that specializes in helping law enforcement gain access to data, the Washington Post and other publications reported. The encrypted messaging services have proved more difficult, Wray said.'

    Damn kid was a super genius, got over on the SS and the fbi.
    :rolleyes:

    Just a guess. Probably from one or more of the following: Fox News, OAN, NewsMax, Breitbart, the Daily Caller, the Daily Signal, or maybe a right-wing conspiracy theorist with an X/Twitter account like Jack Posobiec or Alex Jones.

    Got into the phone. The WhatsApp or whatever not so much. As Garland stated some of the wait is for legal process.

    Wray said that insome cases, the FBI is waiting on “legal process returns” to getinto the accounts. He did notspecify what companies orservices host them.

    Part of the allure of using encrypted messaging apps is that they are ……. encrypted. The difficulty in cracking them is due to the genius of the developers - not the genius of Crooks
