Some have asked how I think it plays out - it's too early to tell for sure but we can take educated guesses and just keep updating those as we get more info, so my very early *first pass* thoughts on likely conviction: 2/9

Federal charges - struck down. There is no viable path here currently, especially with everything patel has said

The charging document of Tyler Robinson in the Charlie Kirk case has been filed in Utah.

Here’s what’s important and what’s notably ***missing*** from the document! Image 2/22

First off, it’s only a state filing so far, and based on the findings presented within, it will be hard for them to pursue a Federal case.

They seem like they may try for the hate crime angle but it’s a long shot.

President Trump files an *INSANE* lawsuit against the New York Times, Penguin Random House and multiple journalists seeking "$15B" in damages.

Claiming defamation and libel, in what can only be described as political theatre aimed at SILENCING the press! Image 2/37

Trump has repeatedly brought suits against journalists in retribution for negative coverage of him, pushing his agenda of a chilling effect so that journalists don't ask him hard hitting questions - which we've already seen extensively! Image

A live thread, covering the stupidity of Kash Patel at the Oversight Hearing: Image 2/

Graham starts of praising Kash, and then asks about Venezuelan boats, trying to justify state sponsored terrorism charges... which is an international matter being dealt with by the DoJ not the domestic law enforcement agency of the FBI... Image

Yesterday, I highlighted how Kash Patel's poor handling of the case could put it in jeopardy.

But today the FBI's lead-podcaster, doubled-down on *STUPID*, in a public interview that is a defense attorneys dream!

Let's breakdown the incompetence: Image 2/38

An important piece of context to keep in mind, is they desperately want to make this a Federal charge crime, so they can keep it untelevized, control the narrative, and seek death penalty with a jury base that isn't 90% mormon.

Good morning!

Here's your weekly reminder that Donald Trump is covering-up the Epstein files, including *NEW* evidence tying Epstein crimes to Trump associates and the Mar-A-Lago!

Lets start with one we already know, the horrible grooming art: Image 2/38

It's the view of the Mar-A-Lago from the beach front side - matching the arches and sand colored building. Image

The FBI may have missed their window due to the incompetence of the Chief-Podcaster.

The shooter now likely has a good lawyer that has told him to not say a word because of how badly this case has been managed: 2/15

When capital punishment is on the table, and people are cooperating, but you're in a state where pursuing the death penalty is politically unpopular, the state prosecutor would likely be swayed by an early plea deal offer to not pursue capital punishment.

This is a good question, and its the *ROOT* of why the FBI has been pushing disinformation (even to the media and the Governor)

They are *desperate* for this to be a Federal case for specific political and legal reasons and it explains all their "claims": 2/26

We know two things:

1) Trump's DoJ was looking at a gun ban for trans people already.

2) MAGA has called for the death penalty, and wants to make a martyr out of Kirk Image

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

Well there we go, some clarity from the DailyMail of all places:

-Tyler splits a 3 bedroom apartment with roommates.

-One is a guy who desperately wants to be a pro-gaming streamer, and *may* be trans identifying *may*

-That person was ‘cooperative’ with police

BUT Image 2/7

But, this roommate (Lance) was also the one who claimed to have “Discord messages” from Tyler about the shooting.

Discord proved he did not. Image

The New York Post now has an article about this “transgender roommate” as well, from the same source as Fox.

And based on it, we can basically tell it’s BS that’s going to get retracted, as it relates to another piece of “evidence” that was already debunked! Image 2/8

Early on there was a claim that on Discord Tyler planned the assassination sharing details with some leftist group.

Then it became “Discord messages to a roommate”

With law enforcement claiming they were shown these Discord messages. Image

So the fake claims of "trans" and "antifa" symbols comes from both ammo stamps and casing inscriptions wrongly reported.

They try to paint Tyler as left, but like Crooks this is a fringe right wing Groyper.

Here's the details on registered Republican, Tyler Robinson: 2/10

The casings read:

-Notices bulges OWO what's this?"

An old meme that started from Tumblr and is now frequently made fun of in alt-right groups like Groypers when "transvestigating" Image

Let me help you out:

-“Bella Ciao” is an anti-fascist song.

People like Fuentes have called Kirk a “liberal in disguise” and a “fascist”

-The comment on a “buldge” is a derogatory statement against trans.

-The “if you’re reading this you’re gay lmaooo” is not pro-gay 2/2

The arrows and ironsights on the bullets are different from the messages on the casings, and it’s now clear how the reports got mixed up and why we shouldn’t have had partial reports

This guy was clearly a Groyper who thought Kirk “wasn’t conservative enough”

If you want to have an intelligent conversation about violent rhetoric and political extremes in this country, then you need to understand the fracturing on the alt-right these days.

Between MAGA and groups like Groypers or the “Groyper Army” Image 2/18

These groups, believe that “mainstream conservative organizations” are “insufficiently nationalist” and not “pro-white” enough… Image

One thing that stands out to me about this shooting, was how odd it was to have a single-shot fired from a high-powered rifle.

Thinking back over history, that's not something we see commonly in assassinations, and I wanted to understand how rare it is. Image 2/11

So I compiled a quick list of major political and influencer assassination that happened in a public setting, since, 1865, breaking down:

-Role
-Weapon type
-Shots fired
-Outcome
-And if professional or amateur Image

Oh, god…

The creepy picture of Epstein grooming girls to get massages is not Epstein’s house on the island…

It’s the ***Mar-a-Lago*** as seen from the beach.

Who ever drew this, was drawing Epstein getting massages by girls he groomed while on **Trump** property! Image

-Maxwell chose to include this in the book.

-It was in 2003, and depicts Epstein at Mar-a-Lago with groomed girls

-It was 3 years *AFTER* Trump claimed to cut off Epstein for “stealing” employees.

So clearly everyone knew what was happening at Mar-a-Lago. Image

The Epstein "Birthday Book" is a disturbing read, filled with lots of crass 'jokes' related to the abuse of minors.

This is just 1 document of the 300,000 files still sealed about Epstein's trafficking ring.

Here are a few damning things I found in a quick skim: Image 2/28

The book contains entries from Bill Clinton, Jean Luc Brunel (rapist), Alan Dershowitz, Nick Leese (arms dealer who claimed not to know Epstein), Trump and others. Image

HOLY FUCK.

The Epstein “Birthday Book” confirms the claims of one of the victims!!!

Maxwell put it together and wrote first-person stories from many old contacts, this one frames as a “Who Am I?”

It matches a victims claims that Maxwell said didn’t happen.

It begins: Image 2/11

The page goes on to say this person:

-met Prince Andrew, President Clinton, Donald Trump
-Sat on the throne Image

The Epstein estate turned over “The Birthday Book” with the letter that Trump tried suing the press to hide!

Trump claimed it didn’t exist and now it’s released in full.

It gives us some HUGE and creepy clues about the Epstein files… 2/17

What was Trump’s “wonderful secret?”

What do they have in common?

Why are they being so creepy?

And can it reveal any more about what’s in the Epstein files that Trump is so desperate to hide?

Busted?!?!

Award winning photographer @andreskudacki catches Trump popping pills at the US Open.

The problem?

It doesn't match his prescribed medications.

That little blue chew, likely PROVES Trump's failing health ... or paints the horrifying image of an affair... 😬 Image 2/16

Officially the President takes two prescription medications.

Crestor (Pink) and Ezetimibe (White) - neither are a match.

Especially when held between the teeth. Image

According to Yonhap News, all 300 Koreans will be returned to of South Korea regardless of status, and the government is questioning US investment.

“The negotiations for the release of the 300 citizens has been completed” Image 2/4

Choi also noted:

“This may interfere with investment of South Korean companies in the United States”

Which is basically the polite Korean-style way of saying “you fucked up and we’re re-evaluating this” Image
