Trump Shooter Had Explosive Devices, Remote Transmitter Says FBI Director

Thomas Matthew Crooks rigged multiple explosive devices to blow up and had a remote transmitter at Donald Trump‘s rally … this, according to testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The federal bureau’s top man’s currently testifying in front of a Congressional Committee about the shooting that nearly claimed the former President’s life … and, he says the law enforcement agencies recovered three bombs, presumably set up by Crooks.

Check out the clip … Wray says they found three total devices — two in his car and one in his home — all with the ability to be detonated remotely. There were receivers at the scene for two of the devices, and Crooks had a transmitter to detonate them.

However, Wray says because of the configuration of the on/off positions of the receivers, the devices probably wouldn’t have exploded — seemingly a testament to Crooks’ inexperience in this area — though that doesn’t mean the explosives weren’t dangerous.

Another revelation … Wray says Crooks flew the drone recovered in his vehicle about 200 yards from the stage, possibly live streaming the flight — and, getting a very close look at the surrounding area.

Worth noting … he didn’t fly the drone over the stage area, according to Wray — but, it’s still more evidence of the danger all the rally attendees were in and punctuates law enforcement’s poor response to the incident.

As you already know … the Secret Service spotted Crooks 20 minutes before he took his first shot at Donald Trump on the roof, but didn’t take him down and Kimberly Cheatle — the Secret Service director who’s since resigned her post — called the whole incident a massive operational failure.
