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. Image
Image
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. Image
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. Image
5/13

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

This is WILD.

A *HUGE* fuck-up in the Trump DoJ strategy means Luigi will:

* Not face the death penalty

* Technically NOT even face a formal "murder" charge AT ALL?!

All because Pam Bondi cared more about political theatrics than the law.

Let me explain:
2/23

In the State of New York, the charge of murder is § 125.25.

It:

* Does NOT allow for a death penalty

* Does not allow life without parole

* Charges 15 - 25 years.

LWOP (life without parole) requires § 125.27, it requires one of these aggravating factors: Image
3/23

Last January, when Trump took power, he signed EO 14164, requiring the DoJ to pursue the death penalty where possible.

He specifically made a media push about the Luigi Mangione case. Image

This is Kenneth Chesebro.

The MOST important figure in the Fulton case.

He was the lawyer who designed the scheme.

He was:

-deposed in Fulton

-pled guilty

-told ALL the details about Trump’s plots.

These DIRECTLY dispute Trump’s current Fulton claims: Image
Image
2/7

Kenneth was responsible first and foremost for arranging the fake electorate scheme.

He admitted:

* He knew Trump did NOT win the election.

* Trump knew it.

* They planned to use it regardless of election outcome.

* He came up with the false claim that it was standard practice to cover-up this plot.Image
3/7

Legally for the fake elector scheme to work, there *HAD TO* be an active lawsuit in each of those states contesting the election.

Both Cheesebro admitted the Sidney Powell case was that filing for Georgia.

Sidney Powell confessed the Fulton Georgia case was fraudulent, and pled guilty.Image

Here’s my fact check on EVERY one of Trump/MAGA claims regarding Fulton:

1) “Trump has the power to seize paper ballots”

No.

State infrastructure and vote archives have specific protections (see Miles’ post below). Paper ballots are supposed to be the untouched records we compare against.

Taking them means any evidence he would have is now tainted.

It is also likely a criminal act.
2/18

2) “Trump has proof the election was stolen!”

No.

In fact, we have:

* His voice recorded on the phone telling Kemp to “find” him 11,000 votes because he lost.

* Him in multiple conversations with other Republicans admitting he lost (cited in Jack Smith case)

* Him in conversations with other Republicans admitting he knew there was no issue with the voting machines (Jack Smith case)

* Him in writing planning a plot to seize voting machines preemptively, before he claimed any issue. (Barr step down)

* His own lawyers in their election fraud cases, admitting on sworn record, that there was no evidence.
3/18

3) “Trump wasn’t fairly heard in his cases”

No.

MAGA claims all cases were dismissed solely on standing, but that’s not true.

Even when he lacked standing courts often still reviewed the merits of the case.

They didn’t have any. Image

Frame by frame breakdown of this MURDER shows ICE is lying!

-ICE had ALREADY disarmed the man before shooting.

-The man NEVER drew his gun.

At the 0:06 second mark we see the man’s hands on the ground covered in large gloves.

His hands are empty. Image
2/12

At 00:15 one of the agents begins to pistol whip the man in the head.

Showing the orientation of the man’s body and how his hands were NO WHERE near his waist. Image
Image
3/12

At 00:13 we can see the man is on his knees.

An officer in a gray jacket is pulling up his shirt.

You can see the gun in his waistband at 00:16 Image

DHS deleted this one because:

-The family was driving home and got blocked.

-ICE deployed flashbangs and tear gas INSIDE the car.

-The 6-month old child stopped breathing and had to be rushed to hospital.

DHS did NO investigation & rushed to lie to defend the officers. Image
I've verified from prior reporting and 911 call log data the location where ICE tear gassed a 6-month old child:

The 600 block of 23rd Avenue North in Minneapolis.

An entirely residential area.

It did NOT take place at the Whipple Building protest like MAGA has suggested. Image
It is also worth noting multiple people HAVE been blocked in at the Whipple building protests, as a low income Section 42 housing complex is on the edge of the Federal complex and must drive through the complex to get in/out: Image

As someone writing a book on Epstein’s crimes, I try and validate all claims I hear, and only talk about them when I’ve proven or disproven them.

I’ve not yet commented on Sascha Barros/Riley’s claims because they are harder than most to verify.

Here is where I’m at:
2/24

First, I believe Sascha has absolutely experienced abuse.

In investigating these cases, you do learn to hear that pain in a victims voice.

But, due to the nature of trauma, experiencing abuse and accurately retelling it, are not always the same thing.
3/24

Let’s start with what’s clear:

Sascha’s claims about being adopted in the late 1970s by William Kyle Riley, are accurate.

Sascha also has done military service, although I did have trouble tracking down some specific claims about that service. Image
