Andrew Torba, CEO of the social media site Gab, said on Tuesday that the FBI requested the files for a social media account connected to Trump shooter Thomas Crooks and that the posts Crooks made were “unequivocally pro-Biden.”

Many in the media — and even some corrupt members of the FBI — are claiming that Crooks’s social media was “anti-immigrant and antisemitic.” But Torba says these claims do not correspond to the posts that Crooks made on Gab.

Per NewsMax:

“To the best of Gab’s knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter,” Torba said.

FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate, testifying Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that more than 700 comments were posted from the Gab account.

“The FBI is now claiming that the Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had an unspecified “social media account” in 2019/2020 (when he was 14/15 years old) that posted “anti-immigrant and anti-semitic” content,” Torba posted on X, along with an image of the request.

“This is not consistent with Gab’s understanding of the shooter’s motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request (“EDR”) we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account “EpicMicrowave” which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks,” he added.

Gab even posted the first page of the paperwork that the FBI sent to them demanding the data from Crook’s Gab account.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

So, it appears that certain members of Biden’s corrupt FBI and the corrupt media are trying to fool people into believing that Crooks was not a liberal.
