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.

3/22 They specifically argue that one of the enhanced aggravating factors was targeting Kirk for his “political expression” Which as we’ll see later in the document is actually a bit dubious, so this will likely get challenged, but it tells us what narrative they are pushing.

4/22 In the document we learn he surrendered to the police, confirming that it was not “messages from a trans lover” who turned him in, and not “the work of the FBI” This will be used by defence to seek leniency and protect against death penalty.

5/22 They note a UVU police officer rushed to where he thought the shot came from to look for evidence, but we know the crime scene wasn’t locked down for ages?

6/22 They note that his roommate was in a relationship with Tyler - but notice which claim they drop? The entire trans narrative is gone. So Tyler and his Roommate were gay or bi and in the closet in Mormon Utah, and so the entire trans narrative was political bs!

7/22 They also claim police found a photograph of the note Tyler left - but one challenge for them will be that on TV Patel said the contents of this note were revealed via “aggressive interrogation posture” The defense will claim in admissibility on coercion.

8/22 Later we see in Tyler’s own words that he did it because he was “sick of his hate” not specific political ideology. That’s why the claimed political ideology angle won’t merit a federal hate crime.

9/22 The messages also note the bullets were memes, almost sounding like they may have been engraved at an entirely separate time unrelated. They were not “pro trans, Antifa, leftist ideology” And the FBI *HAD* these texts while Patel was still repeating that claim.

10/22 We also see in his own words the intent to turn himself in, something that defense will use to push back on any attempt at the death penalty.

11/22 We also see that the supposed claims of “being a leftist” came from Tyler’s mother and base solely on his shift on pro-lgbtq issues. And that the claim the roommate was “transitioning” also only cited the mother and not anyone else, or any other evidence

12/22 (Note: A MAGA Republican mother isn’t the one who gets to tell you if someone has decided to transition or not, and her not understanding her sons gay relationship, or that “Log Cabin Republicans” exist, is not surprising)

13/22 So this document makes clear a few things: 1) While Tyler enjoys a presumption of innocence, if these communications exist he is likely the shooter and would likely be convicted.

14/22 2) Kash Patel wildly bungled this investigation, lied on TV about things they already knew to be untrue, and has put in jeopardy serious parts of this case. 3) They constructed a political narrative to try and pursue an unfounded federal case.

15/22 4) The claims of the roommate being trans and Tyler being a leftist, stem from one ignorant political source, and not from hard evidence or Tyler himself. 5) Tyler had ONE issue he cared about, and that was being hated on for his sexuality.

16/22 6) Tyler acted alone, and the FBI knew this, even when they were talking to the press about conspiracies with “leftist orgs” 7) Tyler turned himself in willingly. That is often sufficient enough to remove the death penalty from an aggravated case.

17/22 8) The aggregating factors here claiming political targeting are at best shoddy, not only because Tyler never said that was his motivator, but because hate against a protected class (lgbtq) wouldn’t be considered a “political view”

18/22 The document leaves out all other political background from Tyler. We notably hear nothing of the evidence from his computer about what shows he watched, what news he followed, etc. We *ONLY* get it through the lens of his political mother.

19/22 So we have a young gay man, in Mormon Utah, brought up in a house hold that celebrates guns, hated on for who he loved - he snaps and kills someone who in his view spread hate about him. He then turned himself in.

20/22 The FBI would have had a clear cut case for murder on that. But instead, the fanned the flames of hatred, took the mother’s own bias views as gospel, and blatantly spun stories about Antifa bullets, when they *ALREADY* had text messages disproving that.

21/22 We learn that Tyler should likely be convicted for his crime. But more importantly, we learn that the political bullshit from the FBI attempted to cause chaos and hatred because inexperienced fools were more interested in political rhetoric than fact!

22/22 And it speaks volumes to me, that the only political crumb shared, after claiming he was an “angry leftist” is the second hand hearsay opinion of his mother. Nothing from him, or his Jordan Peterson consuming boyfriend. That speaks volumes at what you’d find!

PS - incase you’re asking “doesn’t including the mothers statement prove he is trans” No. They wrapped it up as someone’s statement but refused to list it in their fact summary about him. That means there was no proof, and he didn’t tell them that during interrogations, it

From Discord chats leaked to Ken Klippenstein, we find out his friends knew “Tyler was bisexual” But he wasn’t “lefty on most issues” Describing him as a “typical young man his age from Utah” They tried to paint him as a raging commie because his parents didn’t understand he

Reader points out something I missed. What news did he watch? Fox.

The reason the focused on the mothers hearsay claim of trans lover rather than Tyler being bisexual, is that they love the line “trans people are mentally ill” Whereas they know they lost that debate on the topic of sexuality *decades* ago.

Had some questions on what I think odds are of different outcomes so jotted down early best guesses:

@adamscochran The desperate spin of the thread is embarrassing.

@hcaulfield8148 Your lack of reading comprehension is embarrassing.

@adamscochran Is the only capital felony on here the one on this front page that requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the single shot Robinson fired posed a grave risk of death to someone other than Charlier Kirk (or himself)? Because if so…

@JohnOleske In Utah capital punishment is on aggravated murder and not murder. The aggregators proposed are: -grave danger to someone else -enhanced targeting for political reasons -performed infront of someone under the age of 14 All will be shaky/contested. I think they easily bump

@adamscochran And I sure hope Patel’s FBI can provide the forensic analysis (metadata and device logs from BOTH phones) of all of those text messages they used to “poison the well” with before putting them in front of a jury. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.

@deanna504 Agree. My guess is they are paraphrased recreations:
