Authorities have delayed the release of a manifesto penned by Audrey Hale, the shooter who killed six inside a Nashville, Tennessee elementary school, one public official said, calling it a "blueprint on total destruction." Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tennessee, told the New York Post the FBI was behind the delay while calling for the documents to be released to grieving loved ones and Congress.
The manifesto "could maybe tell us a little bit about what’s going on inside of her head," he told the newspaper. "I think that would answer a lot of questions." Hale, 28, identified as transgender and was a former student at The Covenant School when she opened fire at the private Presbyterian school last month. Three children and three adults were murdered in the shooting: Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9, Hallie Scruggs, 9, William Kinney, 9, Cynthia Peak, 61, Katherine Koonce, 60, and Mike Hill, 61.
During a search of the house Hale shared with her parents, authorities seized 20 journals, five laptops, a suicide note and various other notes written by Hale as well as two memoirs, five Covenant School yearbooks and seven cellphones, according to a search warrant. Nashville Council member Courtney Johnston told The Post the FBI has already ruled the manifesto would not be released in its entirety. "What I was told is, her manifesto was a blueprint on total destruction, and it was so, so detailed at the level of what she had planned," she said, when reached by phone. "That document in the wrong person’s hands would be astronomically dangerous," she added.

Why am I not surprised?
Guess the FBI is somehow trying to pin the massacre on those mean old white supremacists.
i bet the folks at the FBI either know someone, or have someone that would go off if the manifesto were to be released.
there is the possibility the dead shooter named names in connection with her amassing all those journals, and laptops.
If this was a 1,200-page document....I might be understanding of giving them six to eight weeks to read. If this is a mere 40 pages? No....makes no sense.
On the embarrassing angle? This kid may have written fifty-odd pages of incoherent material and presented the case that they were jacked-up on prescription pills.
How is the FBI taking the lead or even involved? As far as I know There was no interstate travel in commission of this crime and no espionage involved. It is strictly a Tennessee crime.
Bttt
Any time something is said to be too dangerous to be released is a pre requisit to the Government to try to convince the public that they ( the Government)are the only ones that can handle such a situation.
BTTT This belongs in Breaking.
It’s not being released because the FBI is not a law enforcement organization.
The FBI just enforces a political agenda at the point of pistols.
THIS manifesto thing has become my main complaint against this government. THIS. They are protecting the administration’s pro-perversion agenda, they care NOTHING about the public’s safety. They have clearly demonstrated this by the almost complete mishandling of crime across the board.
THIS.

Satan hates to be exposed.
Oh I can already just imagine
This mentality I’ll person likely was going to kill church goers, school children, and anything else that was irritating It is probably hate filled and obnoxious
It won’t help anyone understand because the actions are insane
Oh sure. Named names of ordinary folks who didn’t accept the insanity of trans world
An excellent, and disconcerting, point.
None of us should be. I think the FBI is a criminal organization.
Yeah, probably “astronomically dangerous” to freaks like her. Tough.
“What a country!”
