In a high-profile case that has drawn national attention, Republican Congressman Mike Kelly, who led the Congressional Task Force investigating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania, has come under fire for withholding crucial investigative documents from the public.
This move has sparked concerns about transparency and accountability, as reported by Gateway Pundit.
The Task Force's investigation, funded by American taxpayers, has been criticized for its lack of concrete findings. Despite a 180-page report, no specific information identifying the alleged shooter or the motive for the attack has been made public. "The Task force 'investigation' produced literally no new information about who the shooter is and why the attack occurred. It didnt even provide physical evidence to prove the alleged shooter was Thomas Crooks," said a representative from AbleChild, a non-profit organization advocating for children's rights.
In response to these criticisms, Congressman Kelly has blamed law enforcement agencies for their refusal to provide requested information. "Kellys excuse for a shoddy investigation is the fault of others who 'are very good at stonewalling and then dismissing people as conspiracy theorists,'" the AbleChild representative added. Kelly's requests to the FBI, Department of Justice, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms reportedly went unfulfilled, leading some to question why the Congressman did not utilize his Congressional subpoena power.
The narrative surrounding Thomas Matthew Crooks, the alleged shooter, is fraught with inconsistencies and unanswered questions. There is no physical evidence directly linking Crooks to the body found on the AGR rooftop or a direct match between the alleged gun used and the shots fired. The full ballistics report and autopsy report remain undisclosed, further fueling public skepticism.
Adding to the controversy is the role of Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger. Goldinger has publicly disputed findings from both the Pennsylvania State Police and the Secret Service, and his defense of local snipers who reportedly abandoned their posts during the rally has raised questions about his impartiality. "Goldingers long-standing ties to the behavioral health industry deepen suspicions, given Crooks employment at a nursing home linked to behavioral health professionals, his parents involvement in this field and the owners of the AGR Building," the AbleChild representative noted.
Despite these concerns, the public remains unable to access any original data about the assassination attempt. Congressman Kelly's decision to withhold critical documents continues to undermine public trust in his leadership and raises serious questions about his commitment to accountability. "Transparency is not optional when addressing an attempted assassination of a president. The public deserves answersnot obfuscation or bureaucratic delays," the AbleChild representative stated.
The refusal to provide transparency in such a significant case erodes confidence in Kelly's ability as a lawmaker and fuels suspicion about what is being concealed. "In other words, Kelly is fueling conspiracy theories by withholding this data, and anything less than full disclosure is unacceptable and leaves a distinct odor of coverup," the AbleChild representative concluded.
In the face of these concerns, AbleChild is calling for federal hearings and urging the public to sign a petition in support of this cause. The organization is also encouraging donations to support their advocacy work, emphasizing that every dollar given is a powerful statement in support of children's rights and well-being. As a 501(c)3 organization, donations to AbleChild are not only an investment in the well-being of vulnerable children but also a tax-deductible contribution to a cause that transcends individual lives.
