There is almost nothing to go on in this case, but I thought I would submit information that caught my eye concerning the name of the purported attempted assassin: Cole Thomas Allen.

The first anomaly gets weirder the longer you think about it: I only saw his full name reported once, but now he's always referred to simply as "Cole Allen". With most criminals and always, always, always with assassin, all three names are reported, so much a rule that it's become conspiracy theory lore. Why not with this guy?

Second, his name is--you got it--a Salem Witch name. Cole Thomas Allen. As usual, Wikipedia does a shitty job in the List of people of the Salem witch trials, but you will find both surnames there.

The story gets deeper because on that same page, you will find in Reference 10:

Pike Family Association (1901). Records of the Pike Family Association of America. Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center.

I almost LOLed at the strange way the Universe works sometimes. Reference 10 is from a name listed under "Public figures", a man named "Major Robert Pike".

The first thing that's funny is that while the name is not hyperlinked, that man actually has a substantial Wikipedia page, which you will find under "Robert Pike (settler)".

It's barely mention on the page and--again--not hyperlinked--but Pike was one of the original "Proprietors of Nantucket", who you will find listed on the page for Nantucket.

Another of the Proprietors you will find listed but who does not merit his own Wikipedia page is Thomas Coleman. Name sort of rings a bell, doesn't it? Is that the reason they mentioned his full name only once?

Secondly, from the Nantucket page you can see that the Proprietors bought the island from Thomas Mayhew. Right up near the top of his page, you can read that he had been appointed to his position in setting up the colonies by a man named Matthew Cradock. All I can do is point out that the name "Thomas Matthew Crookes" sounds like a combo of those two names, if anyone has heard of him before.

Thirdly, Thomas Coleman and John Pike, brother or Major Robert, came over in 1635 on the same ship as a Parker, a Parsons, and (get this) a Butler, if any of those names ring bells. The full list of passengers is here.

So what does all this add up to? Well, Thomas Matthew Crookes (or whoever he was) was merely the distraction and patsy in the Butler attempt. We were all supposed to think he did it and was immediately put down to end the affair, while the real assassin got away. Here, we have a suspected Salem Witch as a distraction while... well, there's really no more information available.

There is a long case to be made as to why the Salem Witches are not allowed to murder those who oppose them. They can murder their own, but Trump is not one of Them. Their servants can murder Their opponents, but only if they are seduced into doing so, not by command. In short, Cole Allen was not supposed to murder anyone, but maybe someone else was.

Bonus: If you were wondering, Major Robert Pike was indeed a lineal ancestor of Albert Pike. That should tell you a lot of what you need to know about the value of anything Albert Pike had to say.
