Tennessee officials say FBI stalling release of Nashville shooter Audrey Hale manifesto
Fox News ^ | 20 April 2023 | Louis Casiano

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.

How is the FBI taking the lead or even involved?

Because the Gesta...um...FBI says so.

Seems like they step in to determine if any “hate” was involved and civil rights violated. Then they weigh victims against perpetrator....Christians vs. trans-, run it through political filters, come up with “no hate,” which ought to disqualify their participation, but sit on all of the evidence.

Audrey is being touted as some kind of master of disaster, but can’t even disseminate a manifesto. Maybe there’s some good stuff in there, and the Feebs are repackaging it and distributing it to antifa.

And the dead criminal super-villain couldn’t send copies to multiple outlets?

I'm currently reading Eric Metaxas' bio of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I'm at that point in the book (1937-1938) where the Gestapo is noticeably tightening its grip on Bonhoeffer's church (The Confessing Church of Germany). It is very much like how the FBI is gradually increasing its harassment of those not supportive of the current regime.

Over the years, I have read all the good books on what happened in Germany in the run-up to WWII, but this time it is all the more poignant because we are seeing the same thing in our own country.

That has been my question in all of these events! Why the heck is the FBI even involved? Sometimes when I watch some of the shows on TV it seems the FBI is viewed as the only and best investigative source LE has “available” to them. LOL Personally, I’d rather they just disappear.

If they allow us to read it there would be zero doubt as to the searing hatred in that freak’s heart. They cannot allow this to be a “hate crime”. It wouldn’t fit the narrative. It’s a pretty delicate narrative as is, and trannys committing hate crimes will not convince people that trannys are harmless little fags who just want to play dress-up. It is even less likely to make people accept trans women are actually women, which is what they demand. They may, in fact, be the most dangerous of all the letter people and shouldn’t be tolerated.

Tennessee is a patriotic, traditional, conservative state and government. Nashville government is a woke, virtue-signaling, corrupt, Dem pit.

They’re busy rewriting it to make her out to be a MAGA fanatic, “racist”, and “anti-Semitic”. Once they have rewritten all of her 19 journals, plus the manifesto they will release it and immediately charge Trump with inciting her to commit murder.

Maybe? They don’t want to release it because it’s a blueprint for other crazy people about HOW to shoot up a school??

I don’t understand the desire of everyone to read what these crazy people have to say. Notoriety is, I think, a big part of the reason these creeps do what they do. Getting their GRAND MANIFESTO published is the coup de grace for them.

As the country’s government and corporations bow down to the trans movement, the manifesto is likely a call to arms for the destruction of the opposition, mainly the Christian opposition. It’s uncomfortably close to the position of the sympathizers.

Never let a crisis go to waste.
Probably teasing out every contrived potential target of this monster for additional scrutiny. After all it was their fault, you know (christians, normies, americans)

It is a state matter...never should have given it to the FBI in first place.

Oh, I can tell you exactly what was going through it’s head..

It’s really simple...

Anyone that would chop off their penis or sew up their vagina is mentally unbalanced, and should be institutionalized.

Period.
End of discussion

I noticed that too. All those devices. What, did the killer work for the FBI, or something?

Hold that thought.

The "manifesto", if there is such a document, is of no real value. It is a distractor.

What may be really dangerous are the numerous journals and project planning notes compiled by the Nashville crazy. I would bet long odds that those materials identify the people and organizations who recruited her, encouraged her, trained her, and assisted her in her terrorist project.

She had a lot of toys and lots of time to train with them. She did not do this alone. Want to extend that bet? - that some of her backers were FBI informants, or even FBI agents.

You got a winner there, however, you just gave away any chance of monetizing your idea by posting it here.
