FBI Director Kash Patel said Tyler Robinson, the suspected killer of Charlie Kirk, wrote a note stating his intention to “take out” the influential conservative activist.

Patel, speaking to Fox & Friends on Monday, said the FBI had “forensic evidence” of the note, but that it had “since been destroyed.”

They have a note but it’s been destroyed. Yeah, nothing fishy about this BS at all and it goes without saying completely incompetent that they continue to leak half baked, incomplete investigative information.

    Even if the note ever existed, I doubt the FBI’s ability (or the current administration’s desire) to recognize the inherent underlying irony of many groyper tropes. I especially doubt the FBI’s competency after their “mistaking” a common ammo manufacturer’s mark as a leftist commentary.

      a common ammo manufacturer’s mark

      Wait wait, what? So did the alleged shooter actually carve anything into the casings, or was it just the factory markings that fox is trying to spin?

        There’s a couple things.

        The first reports, right after the shootings, were that the bullets were described with a pro-trans message. Except that turned out to be TRN, which is the maker’s mark for Turan ammo.

        The second reports were that messages were written on the ammo. They haven’t released any photos but they say the “new” messages are

        • “Notices bulges OwO what’s this?”
        • “Hey fascist! Catch!” [with five arrows in a Helldivers launch bomb command]
        • “Oh Bella ciao Bella ciao Bella ciao ciao ciao"
        • “If you read this, you are gay lmao.”

        The thing that strikes me is that all of those seem to be fairly lengthy messages to engrave onto a bullet. And the messages are more viral meme remnants of the terminally online.
