The suspicion surrounding the oddly equipped yet online footprint minimalist Matthew Thomas Crooks has befuddled online sleuths and law enforcement alike. How does someone so politically minded and young not have a large online footprint? This has contributed to many conspiracies regarding federal law enforcement’s possible relationship with Crooks. Nevertheless, a potential social media account has been found on Gab, a Christian social media network founded by Andrew Torba.
Andrew Torba confirms that this account was active in 2021 but only posted 9 times on the platform. These posts were characterized by a defense of Joe Biden’s policies.
The handle “epicmicrowave” was found on multiple social media platforms including YouTube, where Crooks allegedly made this poorly drawn homicidal cartoon.
According to Torba, the account was last active on the site in 2021. Torba further states that there is no evidence that Crooks used the platform to send direct messages. The rest of Crook’s alleged YouTube account which has been inactive for about as long as the Gab account consists of the same style of cartoon along poorly constructed gamer plotlines.
This represents a possible breakthrough in the investigation surrounding the would-be assassin of Donald Trump.
