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.

It it just me or is there a rather important "Kash Patel says" missing from the headline?

And this right-wing policy of finding someone trans to mention in every report of a shooting, no matter how tangential or irrelevant their transness may be, just so the public can make a good solid mental association between trans people and dangerous violence, is absolutely disgusting.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 19 hours ago

its also to avoid naming names, placing blame on right ringers, conservatives as the sole source of the shooting.

He wasn't an activist; he was a propagandist.

Release the Epstein files.

“Forensic evidence.” So, like, bro said “he totes wrote a note” and then someone uses science to say “there was paper over here; must be where the note went!” Is this the kind of Keystone cops bullshit we’re being asked to believe?

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

If there's evidence, then it should be producible. A notepad with the imprint of the removed page. A hard drive with the deleted and recovered data. You don't get to hide behind the term 'forensic', saying 'trust us bro'.

So what kind of forensic evidence? Show it.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 21 hours ago

Keystone Kash.

was it destroyed along with Kash's Meth Stash at that vet clinic?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 19 hours ago

cocaine is a hell of a drug. kash needs it to function normally.

[–] ileftreddit@piefed.social 23 points 23 hours ago

The fact that anyone believes a word out of Patels mouth is literally hilarious

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 20 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Isn't this just poisoning the well so he cant get a fair trial? If I were this dude's lawyer, I'd be jumping up and down in court (with glee) to get a gag order in this asshat.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 19 hours ago

just like they botched the other youknowwho in newyork murder.

Is it possible that Kash Patel fucks up this case so hard that the guy walks free?

"The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female," Cox said. "I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening."

I think that would he she, you misgendering motherfucker.

Is this the thing where they dust for the imprint left behind through the previous page on a notebook.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 25 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

We don't know because they haven't done the proper investigation and they're just leaking crap left and right just fueling speculation and conspiracy theories that leads the right to continue to call for violence.

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

Patel was ordered to fit their narrative to justify a crackdown, that is all this is.

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 12 points 23 hours ago

No this is the one where the handwriting matches the fed who found the note

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Can do it with a camera and good lighting if you don't want to leave residue behind.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 10 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

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.

Is it a leak if it's hearsay?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 4 points 21 hours ago

Kash then begins to talk about how he personally walked the crime scene and at that time they found evidence including a "screw driver" on the roof.

Well the first reporting I heard of this screwdriver is that it was found in the woods near the rifle. Or are there two screwdrivers?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 6 points 23 hours ago

Sounds like "Promises Made, Promises Kept". I say let him run for office.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

How long before they walk this one back?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

You think he’s just a patsy, like Luigi?
