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.

I mean, what the hell is this even supposed to mean? The rest of the article is just heresy about “leftist ideology”. They quote the family as stating that he was leftist, but theres zero detail as to how. You’d think if the kid was truly leftist and we had “forensic evidence” of a note, we’d at least have a direct quote?

What evidence? How was the note destroyed? In what manner? Was any of it recoverable at all? What specific leftist ideologies did he subscribe to? What specifically did he not like about Kirk’s politics?

Given the progress of the investigation, and the current “evidence” presented, I am just not confident we will get answers to these questions.

The description is so vague, that a few ashes in the garbage and someone claiming they saw the note and it's contents would fit it.

That must have been the note under the keyboard, maybe the boyfriend panicked and destroyed it, but then later told the FBI what was written. It was just badly communicated in the news.
