Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson wrote a note saying he was going to 'take out' the conservative commentator before he shot him dead, according to the FBI director.
'I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it,' the suspect said, Kash Patel revealed during an appearance on Fox News on Monday morning.
'The note was written before the shooting, it was in the suspect's partner's home,' Patel added.
'We have since learned the note - even though it was destroyed - we have found forensic evidence of the note and we have confirmed what the note said because our aggressive interview posture at the FBI.'
Patel did not clarify whether the message was handwritten or digital, or how it was recovered.
Robinson, 22, was taken into custody on Friday in connection with the assassination at Utah Valley University that shocked the world.
Patel also revealed that DNA matching Robinson was found at the spot where Kirk's shooter fired from, as well as on the towel that covered the murder weapon when it was ditched in the woods by the killer.

I think this was a written note and the found the notepad and read the impressions on the page beneath
It couldn’t be written. 99% of communication by young people is by thumbs texting, the other 1% is in grunts.
maybe he spelled it all out with emojis!
[ Sherlock would know this :) ]
If he didn’t know he would make a well calculated assumption and move forward from there.
So, they do not have the note, but have confirmed it existed, and interviewed witnesses have conveyed the content? The writing is kind of convoluted.
I think he’s trying to be transparent in contrast to the previous administration.
How can you destroy a text? Doesn’t the phone carrier have the records regardless of deleting or destroying the sending and receiving phones?
Perhaps this is not possible, and shows that I watch too many crime shows. But, couldn’t the FBI get a warrant for the server that was used for this chat room or message group- then determine who sent the message, and who received it? There has to be a digital record of this, unless they wiped it. You know, like with a cloth.
It will be interesting to know if CNN might have been tipped off beforehand about the shooting. If that is the case their editors need to be charged as accessories if they failed to notify the authorities beforehand. Perp walks and no bail.
“Doesn’t the phone carrier have the records regardless of deleting or destroying the sending and receiving phones?”
On the TRUE crime shows I watch, the detectives comb printouts of “deleted” texts and phone numbers all the time.
(Of course, if YOU wanted the same documents from your OWN phone they’d refuse to provide it.)
So let’s speed this up as he’s still breathing.
Yes, but Tyler Robinson is still the “alleged” assassin, that’s what the MSM describes him as.
“ The FBI needs to ask why CNN was covering *this* TP event, having covered no other.”
Is this accurate?
If so, I agree it is very suspicious, proof to my mind that CNN knew.
That’s what I thought. Besides, if it was a recovered text they would say text. A note is paper. Words mean things as Rush used to say.
All chat rooms have been recorded
for at least 25 years now.
It comes from the DDOS attacks from
the late 1990s. The idiots were
bragging either before or after.
I turned in one idiot to the FBI
who was bragging about doing something.
He tried using tools to hide his
information but we had already captured
his original data from his initial posts.
We had I.P. addresses, time stamps...
and the original messages.
My guess is that the forensic evidence is the pen impression of the note left behind on the piece of paper below it.
