It is important to note that in the Emergency Disclosure request posted, the FBI explicitly states that the gab account "@epicMicrowave" is a possible account belonging to Thomas Matthew Crooks but does not state this as fact. The investigation into his motive is ongoing. https://news.gab.com/2024/07/gabs-emergency-request-from-the-fbi/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6p2kr9033go
