The FBI timeline on the Kirk murder?

Sketchy as fuck. (And so is the Butler “shooting”).

I didn't know that the FBI's explanation was so flimsy. I did see the video of the guy jumping off the roof and immediately knew that the story he had his rifle in his backpack was BS. I guess the FBI had to come up with another explanation later that it was broken down.

Has anyone taken a similar rifle and backpack with clothing and see if it does fit?

I have always doubted the language from the texts, as has cyber security expert Malcolm Nance.

Malcolm went on to say that Krasnov will use the martyrdom of Kirk like a little Reichstag fire to take away more of our rights, to take away our freedom of speech.

But ever since Trump was where the announcement of Kirk's death came from, I've been real curious to see the time of when the doctor's actually pronounced him dead, which is the official time of death, and when Trump put it up.

The whole thing just doesn't smell right. I fear this will be the Republican's Burning of the Reichstag.

that there is no way that wound in the photo was from a 30-06 from 150 or 200 yards. Likewise you don't break down or reassemble a 30-06 with a scope in 6 seconds. I also agree that the picture of the backpack we have seen isn't going to hold the barrel. Days ago when I first read the supposed "transcript" of the texts I voiced great doubt about this.

Would it depend on the type of bullet in the cartridge?

The neck isn't dense enough for the projectile to 1) expand or 2) transfer it's energy to the tissue

Physics says the energy of the projectile can't be transferred without resistance. Otherwise it just punches holes.

I'd assume the bullet was found intact and whole.

After seeing Kash Patel looking super sleezy when refusing to answer Senator’s questions on Epstein.

As a podcaster, for yrs Patel talked about Epstein trafficking women, getting the names from the black book and the FBI wasn’t doing enough TO - nothing to see here folks - no trafficking. OMG!

So blatant- no wonder no one believes the text messages the accused killer supposedly wrote. Now- we have Candace Owens doing alternative investigations on the case. She’s been speaking with the family of Lance - the roommate plus she has a line for people to report whatever.

Her following is growing- - supposedly she had 5 million live viewers on her YouTube show a day ago - not counting views on other apps like Spotify & Apple & people who watched later. So she could possibly be having 15 to 20 million Americans watching her show. Podcasts are changing the world.

Love to see Republicans going after Republicans. Now we have Candace, MTG, Tucker , Matt Getz, and recently Megan Kelly really pissing off Trump & Netanyahu’s over Israel.
