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.

    They read the note from golden plates inside a hat and then an angel took them to heaven.

    “It was kept in the home of the suspect and his alleged transgender partner,”

    Why keep mentioning the transgender thing from just an allegation about someone who had nothing to do with this? These fuckers know exactly what the fuck they’re doing.

    The note probably also said that he was the one who messed with the 2020 elections so that Trump didn’t win. And also the note said that he had planned all the wildfires that have hit USA recently.

    In a few months he will probably also confess to spreading the Covid Virus in the US

    We found a note where he said he did this in honor of his black transgender immigrant girlfriend named Marxina McWoke. But the dog ate it.

    The note says that Biden personally asked him to do it. But it’s magically disappeared. There is not note. Stop asking about the note.

    I’d be more inclined to believe the FBI if it wasn’t gutted and ransacked only to be run by the stupidest doofuses to ever have existed.

    It was destroyed when his Canadian girfriend and his dad who works for Nintendo were fighting over it.

    So there was no note

      In their defense, Charlie Kirk picked a bad time to be assassinated. It’s luau week the FBI, and things can get very messy and flamey at the office.

      When I first read about this, I understood that the assassin had destroyed the note, perhaps burned it or ripped it up, and that the FBI somehow put it back together or found the traces of ink on a burned note. Am I wrong?

        I mean, what the hell is this even supposed to mean? The rest of the article is just heresy about “leftist ideology”. They quote the family as stating that he was leftist, but theres zero detail as to how. You’d think if the kid was truly leftist and we had “forensic evidence” of a note, we’d at least have a direct quote?

        What evidence? How was the note destroyed? In what manner? Was any of it recoverable at all? What specific leftist ideologies did he subscribe to? What specifically did he not like about Kirk’s politics?

        Given the progress of the investigation, and the current “evidence” presented, I am just not confident we will get answers to these questions.

        Well if they had done that they could say they had done that. But the more likely hypothesis given who we’re dealing with here is that it’s bullshit and there was no letter.

    I read a great thread on Bluesky earlier detailing how many times Kash Patel may have completely botched this case by all the stupid things he’s said on FOX today. Definitely worth a read!

    *Edit to add Skyview thread unroll link

    *Edit #2: it was pointed out in the comment below that many folks in the thread I linked are calling into question the OOP’s claims and professional background. After a brief view myself, there is at least one person within those comments whom I do believe when they say its “full of errors”
    I’m leaving my original comment up for now for posterity sake, but I am more than willing to remove it if that would be more appropriate.

      A great breakdown in one of the most obnoxiously stupid formats one can imagine. Dozens and dozens of short posts…

      I’ve always hated Twitter for this. How asinine…

      It appears there are replies to this thread that call into question many of the things stated

      it reeks of punditry - surface level knowledge and worst case scenarios presented with lots of confidence. fwiw the persons quoted qualifications have absolutely nothing to do with law. They are a “blockchain” and data science person who also does venture capital and angel investing, aka a classic “I don’t know when to stay in my fucking lane and think that because I made a shitload of money I must be a genius at everything ever” type

        Care to analyze any of the statements that have been called out? Or maybe copy/screenshot any of the comments discrediting them if you have the time?

        I’m not trying to be an asshole, here, but everything beyond the first sentence or two in your comment is just character assassination (ad hominem). Obviously the guy’s credentials are not in law, but that doesn’t automatically invalidate his analysis since we’ve got no concept of who he’s able to consult with behind the scenes.

        I don’t have a BlueSky account, so I can’t check the comments for myself, only see the root posts.

        I hate all pundits. They all have stupid dumb takes the public takes as gospel and ends up making this world a worse place. It is the one “profession” I absolutely hate and despise.

        Can’t remember if it was part of that thread, or a comment on it… but there was a suggestion that they likely don’t care about the case itself, rather they’re more concerned about crafting and maintaining the narrative. Based on how this week has played out, I can’t say that I’d disagree

      Is there any way I can extract all this out into text? I’m having a hard time following each of the posts. They keep hiding behind replies.
