The aforementioned anonymous FBI official, though, reiterated that Crooks had acted alone and that the bureau had looked into whether or not he had been influenced by others, including foreign connections.
“There is no information, no evidence anywhere in this investigation, that shows there was any foreign individual or foreign government or foreign organization tied to Thomas Crooks,” the official said.
“Why would we withhold that? But we can only follow the facts, and they are just not there.”
Speaking to The National News Desk, former FBI Special Agent in Charge Jody Weis recently stated his belief that the bureau should have detected Crooks’ threat before the July 13 shooting.
“For them to say we just didn’t see much there, that we couldn’t identify a motive – I can’t understand why,” Weis said.
