The FBI is investigating a string of curious 'theories and questions' about Charlie Kirk's shooting which exploded on social media in the aftermath of his assassination.
Director Kash Patel announced Sunday the bureau is probing whether accused gunman Tyler Robinson had help carrying out the killing at Utah Valley University.
Agents are also examining peculiar hand gestures made by spectators in the crowd, along with 'stilted' text messages Robinson exchanged with his lover that raised alarms over their odd, awkward wording.
'We are examining every facet of this assassination,' the FBI boss announced on X Sunday afternoon, while 200,000 people gathered in Arizona for Kirk's funeral.
Patel said officials are 'meticulously investigating theories and questions' including 'the location from where the shot was taken' and 'the possibility of accomplices'.
Agents are also probing 'the text message confession and related conversations', 'Discord chats', 'the angle of the shot and bullet impact', and 'how the weapon was transported', he said.
Patel added that they would also look into 'hand gestures observed as potential 'signals' near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter's residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10'.
'To protect the integrity of the investigation and subsequent prosecution, we cannot release every piece of information we have to the public right now,' Patel said. 'We will ensure every question is addressed at the appropriate moment.'
The push for transparency comes after the FBI was criticized for failing to find Robinson for 33 hours until his family turned him in, and for wrongfully detaining two other men during the search.

“odd, awkward wording.”
It’s reddit speak.
Although we don’t know what’s true or not yet, I’m sincerely grateful that he’s investigating ALL of it and that he’s telling us that he’s doing it. We don’t have to continue to guess if they’re looking into all the anomalies or open ended questions that exist in these circumstances.
I feel so much better that the FBI is creating a mess to obfuscate the investigation. The more people involved the more likely some of them were FBI. Our DoJ is an enemy disgrace from top to bottom.
This is interesting. At least they aren’t dismissing the questions a lot of people have as grassy knollers. 48 hour rule is ongoing.
33 hours is quite fast.
The first detainee was not arrested wrongfully. He was trying to mess up the investigation and give the assassin time to run away!
I have no idea who was the second detainee and why was he arrested?
“”When any two people know anything in Washington DC it’s a conspiracy’’.
I agree. So fed up with the tin foil hat brigade who are calling Patel a DEI hire.Wonder if they realize that is an insult to Trump
Bkmk
Headline doesn’t match what the FBI actually said, but it gets clicks I guess.
One thing that’s not a question of material fact is that left-wing and trantifa accounts on X and Reddit and Bluesky were posting some fairly crazy threats ahead of the UVU event.
On the other hand, they’re *always* posting crazy threats on line, so it’s hard to say for certain that they had advance knowledge.
Bears looking into though.
The headline seems a bit of a stretch.
Is insulting Jeff Sessions an insult to Trump? Is insulting Omarosa an insult to Trump? Is insulting James “I like him. They call him ‘Mad Dog’. He’s a mad dog” Mattis an insult to Trump? What about Mark Milley? And Christopher Wray? The Supreme Court judges? What about Alex Acosta? MIKE PENCE? Bill Barr? Elaine Chao? Mike Pompeo? Gina Haspel? Rinse and repeatus? John kelly? John Bolton? Nikkki Haley? Rex Tillerson? Kirstjen Nielsen?
I doubt this greatly. The only thing the evil assassin needed was a clear shot and he got it. He needed no assistance.
Did he have support from his trans community is probable. I find his emails to his trans partner illuminating. It is like he is trying to absolve any guilt of his trans partner. I think he was a lone assassin with encouragement from his trans community. I suspect his trans partner knew it all.
I’m sick of those here that find ways to bash Trumps Cabinet picks
Oh, here’s my shocked face. 😮
The only people that believe the current FBI insane story are on Free Republic. On social media and YouTube nobody believes that kid was the shooter. Not one military sniper thinks he made that shot or the wound was from a 30-06. All of the thousands of comments indicate that it was likely a professional hit and Robinson was the patsy.
In the days of the “grassy knoll” there were not people with cameras on their cell phones everywhere. In fact there are more cameras everywhere.
There are also idiots all over the internet bragging about their crimes. I honestly believe social media has made some people absolute retards.
Yes, the reason for The Daily Male's existence is Hatred of America and clicks (not sarcasm).

We have very little evidence in the public domain about the wound, other than it was in the neck and fatal.
There are hundreds of different loads for the .30-06, as well as the possibility of handloads. We do not know what load was used.
Your post is a little out there. I recommend less caffeine.
