The jackals are investigating hyenas, and no one knows which is which any more.

I anticipate hearing it was a Lee Harvey Oddball. It may be years before the truth is known.

Tom Cruise uncovers a plot setting up a patsy to blame for an assassination. Hope I'm wrong for thinking it's even plausible here. (The missus remembered "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg along the same lines.)

Same premise, a patsy is set up to take the fall for an assassination. The patsy (Wahlberg) is suppose to be killed but gets away.

prior to the bullet hitting his neck, it looks like it may have deflected off of a bullet proof vest (some are saying he was wearing one) and went into his neck. It's clear something was blowing through his shirt before impact of the neck.

Not how it works and a simple Google search will tell you that. Bullet proof vests absorb bullets, even high caliber ones like this. Lastly, Kirk had a Tshirt on fer crissakes. He didn't have a vest on under it....not even close.

I questioned the vest as well myself(but added it because the video poster said it), but it does show something moving through his shirt.

22. They forced out the FBI special agent in change in Salt Lake City

Just forced her out weeks ago. Her name is Mehtab Syed. Very competent.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/crime/general/fbi-under-pressure-after-missteps-and-leadership-shake-up-in-charlie-kirk-s-killer-manhunt/ar-AA1MmDOC

The FBI's response has already drawn heavy criticism after officials initially announced two arrests, only to release both individuals hours later. The blunder has added to doubts about the bureau's effectiveness, particularly after FBI Director Kash Patel replaced the previous Special Agent in Charge Mehtab Syed in the Utah region following internal disagreements.

The removal of that senior official, just days before the shooting, has fueled speculation about whether leadership instability hampered the FBI's response. Critics say the combination of misidentifications and leadership turmoil has undermined confidence in the investigation.


I also do not trust the whole investigation.

So yeah I’m not believing anything coming out of their mouths. And that goes for any GOP led state or town.


There’s no reason to trust them about anything.
