Flying under the radar is the actual reporting from NYT

The reason they claimed “Discord messages” from the trans roommate and leftist group was because of entirely separate Discord messages.

Showing how incompetent this FBI is, and how they’ll lie to press!!

2/13

Discord had already discredited the statements that Tyler planned the attack with leftist groups or his roommate on Discord.

3/13

But, when police first released the images of a suspect, one of Tyler’s group chat with gaming friends from back in highschool messaged him, and he replied - AFTER the shooting.

4/13

They joked about how the shooter would clearly be from a blue state (which just like joking about “if you’re reading this you’re gay” - is not something the left is going to be laughing about these days.

5/13

And they joked about him not pulling a Luigi and going to McDonald’s.

6/13

As the investigation continued, it was clear he was following closely, and even Tyler himself seemed thrown off by the “trans stuff” and that it was a “claim not backed by the fbi and just some dude”

7/13

So the last known message sent from the killer himself, is point out the “trans stuff” isn’t backed by the FBI and is just from “some dude in the briefing room”

Which is probably not how you frame your manifesto if you’re killing in the name of love…

8/13

So we have:

-a roommate who may or may not be trans

-Discord messages that were not with that roommate

-No messages “planning” anything

-No messages with “leftist groups”

-No indication of a relationship

9/13

By all accounts, it seems Kash Patel saw that even Republicans were calling for his job, and he is desperately trying to edge out a win here.

He needs this to have a federal nexus and be a hate crime, or fit the Presidents anti-2a for trans narrative.

10/13

So the FBI after gutting career officials and leaving podcast bros in charge has once again:

-taken one sliver of fact

-bundled it together with entirely unrelated facts

-sensationalized it to the extreme and pushed that to the press

11/13

This explains why sites like Axios could only cite sources who “were familiar with the investigators claim” of the transgender lover, or supposed messages and not find secondary sources.

There were none.

12/13

So just like earlier today when I said “there is no discord messages to the supposed trans lover” and so we should be skeptical of that trans lover story, we now find out, discord was right.

No messages to any lover.

But messages to a group *after*

13/13

And those messages were released by reporting and not by the FBI, because they do not fit the narrative that the FBI is trying to craft.

And I’m sure another day or two from now we’ll find out the “lover” claim was sensationalized too.
