Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.
Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.
Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.
NYTimes, so there’s a paywall. It links to the FEC (wouldn’t load on mobile for me but the FEC page did fully load on my desktop).

Edit: actually, the article has been updated since I read it. It no longer links to the FEC, just a NYT screenshot:

The street address is registered to his father.
He lives there too. Without doxing anyone or putting their info on here, you can read in the news that they all live together (dad, mom, son. Sister moved out a couple years ago)
Yes, I know.
So in the house you had the mother, the father Matthew, and the son Thomas.
Then the ActBlue donation is to a Thomas Crooks with the street address registered to Matthew Crooks.
So the idea that the donation was from some other Thomas Crooks seems unlikely, no?
Unless there’s some unmentioned Thomas Crooks that was living in the house Jan 2021.
