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.

“Forensic evidence.” So, like, bro said “he totes wrote a note” and then someone uses science to say “there was paper over here; must be where the note went!” Is this the kind of Keystone cops bullshit we’re being asked to believe?

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

If there's evidence, then it should be producible. A notepad with the imprint of the removed page. A hard drive with the deleted and recovered data. You don't get to hide behind the term 'forensic', saying 'trust us bro'.

So what kind of forensic evidence? Show it.

The fact that anyone believes a word out of Patels mouth is literally hilarious

Isn't this just poisoning the well so he cant get a fair trial? If I were this dude's lawyer, I'd be jumping up and down in court (with glee) to get a gag order in this asshat.

He wasn't an activist; he was a propagandist.

"The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female," Cox said. "I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening."

I think that would he she, you misgendering motherfucker.

The trans person is being pressed to give a story they want to hear I bet. I would take it all with salt unless there is more evidence.

Is this the thing where they dust for the imprint left behind through the previous page on a notebook.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

We don't know because they haven't done the proper investigation and they're just leaking crap left and right just fueling speculation and conspiracy theories that leads the right to continue to call for violence.

Is it possible that Kash Patel fucks up this case so hard that the guy walks free?

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Even if he does walk free, they're going to drag it out as long as they can to make his life hell. Just like they're doing with Luigi.

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

I'm sure they'll find it on hunter biden's laptop

[–] Corelli_III@midwest.social 6 points 4 days ago

smells like bullshit, maybe they will fuck up prosecution

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Even if the note ever existed, I doubt the FBI's ability (or the current administration's desire) to recognize the inherent underlying irony of many groyper tropes. I especially doubt the FBI's competency after their "mistaking" a common ammo manufacturer's mark as a leftist commentary.

My guess would be that it was a note on some form of digital media. Say you make a document on your computer that you later delete. The data doesn't actually get deleted, your computer just removes the location from it's giant table of contents and marks the space "available to write". Typically that information can still be retrieved using software tools until it is actually overwritten, and even then there are exceptions. So yes, it is entirely plausible for them to have forensic evidence of a note that someone attempted to destroy.
