I am surprised they aren't going after the individuals (including the Fed) who were talking to him.  Maybe they didn't actually say much.

No money in suing them

“There were many people who helped him load that gun,” Crump said. “And it is our objective to make sure that everybody that loaded that gun is held to account.”
It almost sounds like he is validating the conspiracy theorists if you forget the context.

Suing Facebook, Amazon, and Google among others.
Going after the deep pockets blaming everyone but the shooter.

More lawsuits flying

Quote
YouTube, Reddit and a body armor manufacturer were among the businesses that helped enable the gunman who killed 10 Black people in a racist attack at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket, according to a pair of lawsuits announced Wednesday.

The complementary lawsuits filed by Everytown Law in state court in Buffalo claim that the massacre at Tops supermarket in May 2022 was made possible by a host of companies and individuals, from tech giants to a local gun shop to the gunman’s parents. The suits were filed Tuesday on behalf of the son of a 65-year-old victim and a group of survivors who say they’re still traumatized more than a year later. Everytown Law is the litigation arm of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund.

The lawsuits accuse the defendants of helping provide motivation, equipment or knowledge to the gunman.

Be curious to see how YT reacts.
So basically they're trying to sue everyone that hosts or provides information on guns and equipment.
