Tyler Robinson left note vowing to "take out Charlie Kirk": FBI
www.newsweek.com
FBI Director Kash Patel gave details about the note and developments in the investigation into the killing of the Turning Point USA co-founder.

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.

    You’re not wrong. Everyone reading this, please take note that every piece of information being reported is coming from Utah law enforcement, then secondhand from Cox, and the FBI, much of it now via Kash Patel. Some of that information has already been demonstrated to be plainly false (“trans messages” on the rounds), while other things can be accepted as true (video and stills, actual messages on the rounds, chat content), and some is just “whaaa … ?” (“There was a handwritten note, we know it, and we know exactly what was in it, but it doesn’t exist anymore.”)

    Then layer on top of that that the administration is leadning real hard into the “left-wing radicals” thing, and their leaning is being heavily reported by a media landscape that is incapable of comprehending the “joking not joking meme culture” of places like 4chan, 7chan, corners of SomethingAwful, old IRC, Usenet, StileProject. Someone I know tells me: “I lived there. Still visit there. It’s always, and I do mean always, right wing shit.” I was there, too, and it is always right wing shit.

    Cox says Robinson was “radicalized by Reddit, by dark places on the internet” and then concludes that Robinson is a “leftist.” Lol no, that’s not what happens on “dark places on the internet” (I mean, unless you include tankies? Maybe?)

    Again, to everyone, be very critical of the messaging you’re seeing come out of the investigation, the administration, and the media reporting on it. This is shaping up to be not “wag the dog” but just a disembodied tail wagging itself.
