Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent joins Jimmy to describe his efforts to examine the Butler assassination attempt and says the FBI and DOJ repeatedly restricted access to relevant information, citing ongoing investigations as the reason. He raises questions about what investigators knew about Thomas Crooks, his electronic devices, alleged foreign contacts, and the FBI’s handling of an Iranian-linked suspect, arguing that significant unanswered questions remain.
The conversation advances competing theories about possible foreign involvement, including claims concerning Iran and Israel, while Kent emphasizes that he does not know whether Israel was involved and says greater transparency is necessary. Overall, the discussion argues for deeper investigations, disclosure of intelligence records, and accountability regarding the Butler shooting and the broader conduct of federal law-enforcement and intelligence agencies.
