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. The new information provided by Patel is the latest development in the investigation into Robinson. Utah Governor Spencer Cox said on Sunday that investigators are still trying to pin down a motive for the attack on the Turning Point USA co-founder.
Why It Matters
Kirk, 31, was fatally shot at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10 during a question-and-answer session on campus. His death has caused an outpouring of grief from his fans and followers, though some of his critics have celebrated his demise, raising concerns about more polarization and hostility in U.S. political life sparking violence.
What To Know
Patel, speaking to Fox & Friends on Monday, said the FBI had "forensic evidence" of the note, but that it had "since been destroyed."
Summarizing the note, Patel he that Robinson wrote, "I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it." "That note was written before the shooting," Patel said.

(9,310 posts)They're using the destroyed note to bolster their claim that the shooter was a radical-left democrat.
And, they'll keep "finding" evidence to supports that view.
It's an old form of investigation, one in which the evidence is tailored to support the predetermined conclusion.
The FBI is now a fully functioning propaganda arm of the Trump administration.

(3,241 posts)...a little-noticed message to X the other day (9/12) about the shooter's admiration for Fuentes/Groyper ideology. It differs greatly from the phony narrative which so many in the Trump regime have been slaving like stevedores to sell to the general public.
BTW, according to DUer "proud patriot", Shuster will be on the Stephanie Miller show tomorrow morning.
