Cole Tomas Allen manifesto revealed: WHCD suspect motivated by Epstein files? 

Another would-be assassin has failed, thank God. Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old engineer and teacher from California, attempted to target President Trump and administration officials at the White House correspondents’ dinner on Saturday night. He brought guns and knives to the dinner’s venue, the Washington Hilton Hotel, where he had checked in as a guest. Thankfully the Secret Service apprehended Allen as he attempted to enter the checkpoint, and he did not get close to the president. 

The failed assassin released a manifesto minutes before carrying out his plan. That manifesto was obtained by The New York Post and other outlets. In it, Allen explains that his plan was to kill as many administration officials as possible.  

As for his motivation, he wrote this: “I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me. And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” 

While it’s not specifically stated, I presume that’s a reference to Trump, in which case, we should be very clear about what seems to have motivated Allen.  

First and foremost, he refers to Trump as a pedophile. That can only logically be a reference to one thing: the abjectly false smear that Trump was complicit in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. 

Now let me state this........
