Watch: Trump Shooter Had Horrifying Search History Same Day He Registered for Rally, FBI's Chris Wray Reveals

In the 11 days since former President Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, officials have been slow to release information about the attack.

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray provided another small piece of information.

Answering questions from Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, Wray disclosed that on July 6, the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, registered for the July 13 Trump rally and sought a chilling piece of historical information.

Wray began by admitting that the FBI still had not determined why Crooks targeted the former president.

“A lot of the usual repositories of information have not yielded anything notable in terms of motive,” Wray stated.

Crooks appeared to have an unusual interest in famous individuals. The director broadly described the shooter as “interested in public figures.”

Then Wray made a significant revelation.

“Starting somewhere around July 6 or so, he became very focused on former President Trump and this rally,” he said of Crooks.

“And, so, one of the things that I can share here today that has not been shared yet is that we just in the last couple days found that, from our review — to your point about devices — analysis of a laptop that the investigation ties to the shooter reveals that on July 6 he did a Google search for, quote, how far away was Oswald from Kennedy,” Wray said.

Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated then-President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, according to the FBI.

Wray characterized Crooks’ JFK-related search as “significant in terms of his state of mind.”

That search, he added, took place on the same day Crooks registered for the Butler rally.

Given the FBI’s history, both recent and distant, readers might choose for themselves whether to trust its director.

The Oswald-JFK search revelation indicated that Crooks contemplated his attempted assassination of Trump at least a week in advance.

Overall, Wray’s comments illustrated the disdain he and other federal bureaucrats have for the American people.

Finding a search history on a laptop takes only a few seconds.

Therefore, imagine presenting before Congress and describing a Google search as if it were some groundbreaking discovery. To do that, how much contempt would you need to feel for your audience?

In summary, federal officials like Wray seem disinterested in informing the public. Nor do they appear to care if people know it.
