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 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.

Pundits made an entire career out of pure speculation. I hate watching, listening to, even reading that kind of shit - topic be damned. But especially with topics that genuinely interest me. It's just pointless fluff.

They're no better than youtube channels that post videos about cars....that are completely AI generated. One dude in an automotive discord that I'm in almost fell for one.

Exactly!! They are simply court jesters speaking to the peasants keeping us divided. Fuck em all.

Pundits literally make you less aware of what is happening in the world. Their whole job is to fill the space between an event, and actual, verified information about that event, with wild guesses. Any truthful journalist will admit the limitations of what is known during that time.

Thank you for pointing this out. It seems that you are correct. I've edited my original comment
