Trump rally gunman looked online for info about Kennedy assassination, according to FBI director

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Wray noted that Crooks had grown interested in public officials -- besides Trump, Crooks also had photos on his phone of Democratic President Joe Biden and other prominent figures -- and in the days before the shooting had appeared particularly consumed by Trump and the Butler rally.
47% : The use of the drone, which along with a controller were recovered from Crooks' car, so close to the rally site just hours before Trump took the stage add to the questions about the security lapses that preceded the shooting.
43% : On the afternoon of the rally, Crooks attracted law enforcement scrutiny because of odd behavior around the edges of the event, including shouldering a backpack and peering into the lens of a range finder toward the rooftops behind the stage where Trump would stand within the hour.
37% : The agency has built out a detailed timeline of Crooks' movements and online activity, but the precise motive -- or why Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, was singled out -- remains elusive, Wray said.
9% : That's a reflection of the lingering perception among some GOP lawmakers that the FBI and Justice Department in the Biden administration have become politicized against Trump -- something Wray has consistently denied.
