      Looks like it wasn’t even him anyway – the ActBlue donation was registered to a Thomas Crooks, not Thomas Matthew Crooks:

          20-year-old, registered Republican, Thomas Matthew Crooks is the shooter, yes, but the donation to ActBlue referred to in the headline of this post was apparently made by somebody else.

              Ah, ok - I assumed that you linked an outdated source but yes, it does appear that they are the same.

              For the record, here’s confirmation of the donation address:

                  Right, which is why it’s a bit odd that OP chose to highlight the one single fact as the entire headline for this article.
