one of which is that, try as he might, Patel hasn't found a federal nexus to Robinson's crime, meaning that his trial, if there is one, will be in a state court in Utah, which televises its trials (the feds got jurisdiction over Melissa Hortman's killer on federal stalking charges). And the lovely Steve Bannon made these remarks, just to give us an idea where this might be going:
Did the ppl in the White House inform POTUS that one of his greatest haters, this goofball, girly man, weak governor of Utah, was going to sit there and do the entire briefing on the murder of Charlie Kirk and essentially give us almost no facts and just preach unity with the aggressively LGBTQ governor of Colorado?
Kash Patel is not just a colleague, he’s a very dear and close friend. I think the world of Kash. We don’t know what restrictions he’s under or even his ability to fully articulate what’s happening here. But whoever authorized one of the biggest Trump haters in this country, the governor of Utah, Cox, is a disaster. A true Trump hater, one of the worst in the Republican Party. Folks in Utah need to understand this man has embraced and pushed some of the most dangerous ideologies out there.
Steve seems to have his knickers in a twist because the governor of Utah did the briefing while BFF Kash had to just stand there looking like he was being anally probed by aliens, as he always does, and because the governor was being a Trump-hating girly man for - what? - Not advocating for the immediate murder of all trans people and Democrats, which are one and the same, I guess. The facts that the FBI had so far been as useless as a marzipan dildo and doesn't even have jurisdiction would have been beside the point. But obviously we can't trust any info that comes from the WH, and who knows to what extent they're leaning on Cox?
