Have you heard about Dan Bongino's and Tucker Carlson's interaction yet?
Tucker has Thomas Crooks social media posts. He had them when the government was saying none existed. Tucker called his good friend Dan and there are recorded text chains that Tucker said he has. Dan got super pissed at Tucker and yelled at him "Ask Trump why he he shut down the investigation"
Would you shut down an investigation into an assasination attempt on yourself?
Whether an individual would shut down an investigation into their own attempted assassination depends heavily on motive. Closing or limiting such an inquiry could fuel suspicions of a cover-up, whereas a completely transparent investigation typically serves to clear a victim’s name and reassure the public.The specific claims you are referencing stem from a public feud between former colleagues Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino:The Claim: Carlson alleged on a podcast that after he came into possession of online posts made by the would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, he confronted the FBI. Carlson claimed that Deputy Director Dan Bongino became "terrified" and "hysterical" before ultimately telling him to take it up with Trump, alleging Trump personally shut down the investigation into the shooting.The Response: Bongino publicly denied the claims. He released screenshots of their text exchanges on his own podcast, stating that he merely informed Carlson that Trump had been briefed and was satisfied, rather than stating the president personally killed the investigation. Bongino dismissed Carlson's assertions as baseless, evidence-free conspiracy theories.The FBI Position: Regarding Carlson's initial accusation that the FBI lied about the existence of Crooks' social media posts, the agency issued a public rebuttal. The FBI stated that it never claimed Crooks had "no online footprint" and pushed back against Carlson's narrative.You can read more about the clash between the two conservative commentators on The Independent and follow the FBI's statements regarding the investigation on Newsweek.
