Patel: FBI Investigating 'Possibility of Accomplices'
Newsmax ^ | September 22, 2025 | Eric Mack

Posted on 09/22/2025 5:09:44 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

As mourners gathered for conservative leader Charlie Kirk's stadium-sized memorial, FBI Director Kash Patel repeated his "pursuing every lead" statement shared in last week's Senate testimony, saying the investigation is looking into the "possibility of accomplices."

"We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was transported, 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, 2025," Patel wrote in a lengthy X post.

The 22-year-old assassin has been arrested and charged with aggravated murder, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty.

Patel confirmed the FBI is also analyzing messages allegedly posted on Discord hours before the assassin's arrest, including a confession to friends.

"It was me at UVU yesterday," the alleged assassin wrote on Discord. "I'm sorry for all of this."

Patel told senators last week that agents are reviewing everyone tied to that chatroom, adding that "a lot more than 20 people" could face questioning.

"As the Director of the FBI, I am committed to ensuring the investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination is thorough and exhaustive, pursuing every lead to its conclusion," Patel's X post read. "The full weight of America's law enforcement agencies are actively following the evidence that has emerged, but our efforts extend beyond initial findings. We are examining every facet of this assassination."

Maybe they'll find something. They sure aren't interested in Maxwell Yearick, or why his white van with AZ plates was towed away from Butler, or his present whereabouts.

The feds are curiously incurious.

They were with Ray Epps as well.

One of the men in a suit was clearly making signs with his left hand. Either that or he was brushing lint off his right sleeve without looking at it.

Oh, come on man. daily snail I understand, but now newsmax? And why is Patel telegraphing what is obviously BS? Or is there something specific we need to know?

So we’re going to drag this clown “investigation” around for years? Until some dumb broad “judgee” let’s the assassin go.

Curiously?

Uhh...This Guy is thinking, at this point, we’re way beyond “curiously”.

More like: Suspiciously, fireably, indictably, damnably, condemnably.....

I forgot about the J6 "pipe bomber". I'm sure there are many others. Feel free to add.

Have we at least finally proven the inapplicability of the standard Sean Hannity throwaway line?

The one about the vast majority of FBI agents being decent, honorable people?

The purging that is required in the federal ranks is like nothing anybody has ever seen or imagined.

We need to give Trump a third term, or even a fourth.

“We need to give Trump a third term, or even a fourth.”

I truly believe that the Constitution could be interpreted in a way that would allow this. As Trump said, there are ways of getting around the term limits currently imposed on Presidents.

This guy couldn’t be missed for years. Then suddenly, after Butler, he vanished. His van was towed away from Butler, but no mention of Maxwell Yearick since. Many say he looked just like the Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Does anybody know why the FBI sniper that killed the Butler shooter was demoted and given a desk job, then forced out?

Wow, I didn't know that had occurred.

“ One of the men in a suit was clearly making signs with his left hand. ”

Its pretty routine for a security team at an event like this to use hand signals to communicate with each other.
