Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson wrote a note saying he was going to 'take out' the conservative commentator before he shot him dead, according to the FBI director.
'I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it,' the suspect said, Kash Patel revealed during an appearance on Fox News on Monday morning.
'The note was written before the shooting, it was in the suspect's partner's home,' Patel added.
'We have since learned the note - even though it was destroyed - we have found forensic evidence of the note and we have confirmed what the note said because our aggressive interview posture at the FBI.'
Patel did not clarify whether the message was handwritten or digital, or how it was recovered.
Robinson, 22, was taken into custody on Friday in connection with the assassination at Utah Valley University that shocked the world.
Patel also revealed that DNA matching Robinson was found at the spot where Kirk's shooter fired from, as well as on the towel that covered the murder weapon when it was ditched in the woods by the killer.

My guess is he wrote it in the “Read this if your (sic) gay” Steam group.
Everybody in that group are co-conspirators.
Seems like a lot of people on Discord knew what he was going to do, Im guessing at least 10+ involved, they all knew but Charlie didnt :(
Police are still searching for a motive.
There can be nothing less than the death penalty. A public hanging would be most appropriate.
When someone kills a prominent political voice engaging in peaceful policy debate in order to silence that voice, that is an attack on the very right of citizens to change government policies through public debate and electing representatives who will express that will of the citizenry.
If some radical nut killed say, Bernie Sanders, in order to remove his political perspective from the process, it should be no different, that person also should get the death penalty.
In these situation the attack upon our civilization is graver than the attack upon the individual person.
“Authorities remain baffled...”
“I’m going with digital, as it’s hard to read a note on paper once the paper is destroyed, and uncovered with a warrent issued to recover it.”
I all the old TV detective shows they found the note impressions on the top sheet of the note pad.
SOUNDS LIKE “SEXUAL PARTNER” CAN BE CHARGED AS ACCOMPLICE.
WORKS FOR ME.
I agree; however, it is possible that he wrote it on a note pad and left an impression on the page underneath.
Look at that word “opportunity”. Could possibly be an indication that somebody was directing him. It’s a possibility since Kirk was actually having an effect on elections.

To be contrasted with hosing off the rooftop perch within hours of when the crime was committed…
Would be interesting to see who he addressed the note to, if he sent copies, etc.
Utah also uses firing squads. They should aim at the killer's neck. No blindfold. That, too, would be appropriate.
They knew his identity sooner than they let on. They warrant swept everything from Internet and phones. Cameras. The discussion to withhold the photo because they didn’t want to lose co conspirators by tipping their hand. Perps believe they can simply delete a message and it not be traced.
They tracked J6ers. Any thread connected to Shooter is already known. Tomorrow arraignment document dump will be wild for MSNBC
In the US, criminal liability knowing a crime is to be committed depends on several factors:
<><>your relationship to the crime,
<><>the specific offense,
<><>and your actions beyond simply having knowledge.
When knowing about a crime can lead to charges:
Conspiracy-—You can be charged with criminal conspiracy if you know a crime is going to happen and also agree with others to commit the unlawful act.
Agreement: The core of conspiracy is the agreement to commit a crime, though it doesn’t have to be formal or written.
Overt act: In federal cases and some states, the prosecution must also prove that at least one co-conspirator took a step toward furthering the crime. This action does not need to be illegal itself.
Accessory before the fact
If you aid, encourage, or help plan a crime but are not present when it happens, you can be charged as an accessory before the fact. This could include
<><>providing a weapon,
<><>supplying a getaway car,
<><>or giving strategic advice.
In many jurisdictions, this is often treated the same as being an accomplice, with similar penalties to the principal offender.
Misprision of a felony——Federal law makes it a crime to know about the actual commission of a federal felony and then take an affirmative step to conceal it from authorities.
Active concealment is required: Simply remaining silent is not enough. You must do something active to hide the crime, like lying to investigators or destroying evidence.
Knowledge is key: The prosecution must prove you knew a felony had been committed.
Mandatory reporting laws——Professionals such as teachers, doctors, social workers, and police officers are “mandatory reporters.” They are legally obligated to report suspicions of certain crimes, most commonly child abuse. Failure to do so can result in fines or jail time.
Some states also have laws requiring citizens to report serious violent crimes in progress if they can do so safely, though this is less common.
Specific duty to act——Criminal liability can arise when an individual fails to act despite a legal duty to do so. This duty can be created by:
<><>Statute: Specific laws requiring action, such as reporting requirements or paying taxes.
<><>Special relationships: Parents, guardians, and spouses typically have a legal duty to protect or assist one another.
<><>Contract: Lifeguards or babysitters who have a contractual obligation to protect another.
<><>Creation of a risk: If your actions place another in danger, you have a duty to take reasonable steps to mitigate that risk.
