How Kash Patel's Bold Move Cracked the Case of Charlie Kirk's Assassin
PJ Media ^ | 09/13/2025 | Matt Margolis

The conservative movement lost one of its brightest voices with the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, but FBI Director Kash Patel's swift and decisive response delivered justice in a remarkable 33 hours that should serve as a blueprint for law enforcement nationwide.

Unlike the bureaucratic foot-dragging we've grown accustomed to from federal agencies, Patel personally flew to Utah and took command of the investigation with the kind of hands-on leadership that actually gets results. While career FBI officials likely cringed at his unconventional approach, Patel understood something his predecessors never grasped: When American patriots are under attack, you move heaven and earth to catch the killers.

"I am very proud of the FBI," Trump told Fox News Digital. "Kash—and everyone else—they have done a great job."

The timeline tells the story. On Sept. 10, surveillance cameras captured 22-year-old Tyler Robinson casing the Utah Valley University campus that morning before returning with deadly intent. He positioned himself on a rooftop with a high-powered bolt-action rifle and waited for Kirk to take the stage. After firing the fatal shot, Robinson fled into nearby woods, likely believing he had pulled off the perfect political assassination.

He was wrong.

Patel immediately marshaled the full resources of the federal government, shipping DNA evidence, fingerprints, and the recovered murder weapon to FBI Quantico and partner labs for overnight analysis.

Patel personally directed agents as they processed evidence and prepared to send it to Quantico, ATF labs, or local labs. Sources told Fox News Digital that Patel then directed the evidence to be loaded onto a plane with initial forensics and evidence collected and sent it back to the FBI labs for processing....

- Avoid compromising leads

- Prevent tipping off suspects

- Maintain control over the

narrative and evidence flow

I don't understand that part.

There seems to be a cabal of posters trashing Patel here.

It is at disruptor status now.

They obviously have anti-Maga and anti-US agendas.

There is going to be more arrests..from what Benny has said, and he has connections in the FBI, they have texts, digital footprints of other trans members who were writing in a trans chat room about how something big was going to happen on September 10th, they knew, there are about 6 of them and they will ALL be prosecuted

I’m going to go here/there again....

The FIB has thousands of very special agents who through an intake evaluation process should all be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

There are no shortage of events/issues/cold cases to investigate.

The FIB do not need to put 100% of their resources on the hot button of the moment.

They have plenty of work to do.

Focu?

Yeah, no police force ever has released security video of suspects. Glad someone finally thought of that.

He ordered the desemination of the video of Robinson, so that his father was able to identify him, which he did.

Some of these chat platforms need to be shut down. Discord should be the first.

There is no doubt in my mind that Kash flying to Utah for the press conference, then delaying it two hours, then releasing the photos and then not even stepping to the mike (but appearing menacingly in the background) is what sprung the case. You know the shooter was (shall we say) sweating bullets after that. No doubt it led to the confrontation of the shooter by his own father. Nice job, Mr. Patel.

What about what what Gov. Tim Walz said about something big? Wasn’t the Charlie Kirk visit announced 2 months in advance?

Well, FWIW the posters in that cabal are compromising their credibility. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I handle it by simply ignoring them... on EVERYTHING, not just Kash Patel.

Just scroll on by...

It wasn’t Kash and the FIB that broke the case, it was the shooter’s roommate/boyfriend who panicked over what the shooter was up to.

He/she didn’t want to be charged as an accessory to murder.

“What did Kash have to do with it?”

Kash ordered the photos be released to the public immediately. That was against the conventional advice he was getting from FBI careerists.

Just a guess here, but the perp’s father probably saw the released photos and knew it was his son who did it.

If that’s true, then Kash’s leadership nabbed the bastard.
