Rep. Clay Higgins says FBI botched Thomas Crooks investigation

According to Rep. Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana, the FBI made some SERIOUS mistakes in their investigation into the assassination attempt against Donald J. Trump, and it may cost Americans their right to ever truly know what happened that day.

Higgins is saying that he tried to examine some of the evidence of the case for congressional purposes, but the FBI had already "cleaned up" everything in a way that significantly "injured" the investigation.

Instead of hanging on to as much evidence as they could, agents with the FBI released Thomas Crooks' body for cremation before Higgins feels like they should have:

"My effort to examine Crooks’ body on Monday, August 5, caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact… the FBI released the body for cremation 10 days after July 13," Higgins said. "On July 23, Crooks was gone."

This really does get more disturbing the more you think about it.

There obviously needed to be some sort of investigation by Congress to figure out what really happened that day, but the FBI apparently didn't want to let that happen to the extent that lawmakers wanted.

For some reason, the FBI hid the fact that they sent Crooks away for cremation so soon.

"Nobody knew this until Monday, August 5, including the County Coroner, law enforcement, Sheriff, etc.," Higgins continued. "Yes, Butler County Coroner technically had legal authority over the body, but I spoke with the Coroner, and he would have never released Crooks’ body to the family for cremation or burial without specific permission from the FBI."

Higgins was also critical of how the FBI "cleaned up" the crime scene.

Instead of taking as much care as possible, it appears as though the FBI was simply more interested in getting things washed and cleaned as opposed to aiding America's investigation.

"The FBI cleaned up biological evidence from the crime scene, which is unheard of. Cops don't do that, ever," the Congressman asserted, adding:

The FBI released the crime scene after just 3 days, much to everyone’s surprise. I interviewed several First Responders who expressed everything from surprise to dismay to suspicion regarding the fact that the FBI released the crime scene so early after J13.

"It should be noted that the FBI was fully aware of the fact that Congress would be investigating J13," Higgins added.

So, the FBI KNEW that Congress would be looking for this evidence but disposed of it anyway.
