FBI says it has found DNA match between crime scene evidence and alleged Charlie Kirk assassin

FBI Director Kash Patel says investigators have found DNA evidence linking alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson to the scene of last week's shooting.

Patel made the statement during a Monday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends," saying the suspect's DNA was found on a screwdriver as well as a towel that was wrapped around the firearm believed to have been used in the shooting.

"I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody," Patel said.

Authorities say Robinson jumped off of a roof before fleeing Utah Valley University's campus moments after the shooting. They say he then ran through a patch of woods into a nearby neighborhood, leaving the towel-wrapped firearm in the woods.

Robinson is currently under "special watch" with authorities in Utah. Police say he has not been cooperating during interviews.

*** If he is the shooter***

He confessed to his father that he pulled the trigger. If that’s not good enough for you, then I don’t know what to say.

He confessed to his father when he was confronted by him.

The prosecution and Charlie’s wife must pursue the death penalty.

“when Tyler jumped from the roof, it was obvious that he did not have the rifle with him”

I disagree with that.....the resolution on that video isn’t clear enough to rule out him still having the rifle......to me anyway.


I watched the video. He clearly had a long object with him, and picked it up after dropping down. The best explanation for the long object would be the rifle.

Wow, they seem to have gotten this done as fast as they do on TV.

Looks like that one is worn backwards. The Velcro closures should open on the back side, not the front. At least, that makes more sense to me.

Unless, he quickly dissembled the gun, I dont believe he had it when he fled the rooftop either. The gun would have extended above his pants line and would have prevented his leg from flexing. You try it?

Although a casing was found at the sniper nest, the bullet that hit Charlie has not been found as of Sunday. Maybe it did not exit? The needed as evidence to tie the murder to the gun possessed by the shooter.

Do you suppose they make a “Furry” version of that suit?

I hope you’re right...but I get this sick feeling that some high muckety-muck in the radical left is going to supply a high-powered Lefty lawyer that’ll get him off the hook for the death penalty. I’m afraid he’ll do an insanity defense and end up living a long life in prison.

well you can disagree all you want, but concealing a 44 inch rifle is not that easy.

The video is clear enough to show that there is no horizontal object extending in both directions away from his body. But it is clear enough to see he is most likely carrying a backpack that is swinging from his arm, as they stated he changed all of his clothes on the roof in order to evade being spotted on surveillance cameras.

Besides that they have software capable of improving dramatically the video we see, and what they are able to see.

However, the acoustic signature analyzed by an independent expert matches the distance to the sniper nest.

Are these FBI agents among the twenty-five or so that we can trust to tell the truth. Most of the FBI are CNN imbiciles part II, that got hired by reverse discrimination.

That’s exactly what he’s in, except it’s a green one. From what I understand, they call it a turtle suit, for obvious reason.

Sure, hope a Fed judge doesn’t become activist on this.

That would be a good way to generate the infamous "Right-Wing-Death-Squads". Leftists may be stupid enough to believe they can change the "rules" for themselves without having their opponents eventually following the same "rules". There are hundreds of thousands who have come out on indelible social media, cheering for the successful assassination of Charlie Kirk.

That is a very bad bet.

But he has NOT confessed to law enforcement so whatever he said to his Father can be used as evidence but not as a legal confession to the crime. I’m sensing he’s going to fight this.

I remember when the FBI director was being grilled in congress and every other answer was, “I can’t comment on a continuing investigation”.

Well, they certainly aren’t hesitating on this one.

kash is his worthless as a cement parachute.

Suddenly everyone is trusting the FBI 100%. They seem to forget everything they’ve been doing for the past 4 years and what they stand for. I’ll bet they deliberately botch the evidence to allow for reasonable doubt at Robinson’s trial.

Do they ever confess to law enforcement? That’s pretty rare when they do.

Yes, he will fight this. He will be convicted though, or will finally enter a guilty plea to get out of the death penalty like happened in the Idaho murders.
