Report: FBI Investigating Social Media Accounts for Alleged Foreknowledge of Kirk Assassination
Many of the accounts supposedly belonged to “transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson’s roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok.”
The Washington Free Beacon reported that the FBI has begun investigating several social media posts that hint at foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The publication received the information from “three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots.”
We also learned that the FBI found suspect Tyler Robinson’s DNA on items at the crime scene.
Social Media Posts
Many of the accounts supposedly belonged to “transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson’s roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok.”
One post mentioned the date of Kirk’s assassination a month before it happened.
All the posts have been deleted.
EXCLUSIVE:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots… pic.twitter.com/0irO0HZRvB

Another account posted on August 6—more than a month before the shooting—that “september 10th will be a very interesting day.” After Kirk’s assassination, the account followed up: “I plead the fifth.” pic.twitter.com/EBjQj6RRMo

The morbid quip was reposted by an account named “churbum75m (SAW TYLER JUNE 30),” who appears to follow Robinson’s roommate, Lance Twiggs, on TikTok, where Twiggs’s username is “lanclotl.” pic.twitter.com/LLGO0NHL4e

Minutes after Kirk was pronounced dead, churbum75m posted on X: “WE FUCKING DID IT.” pic.twitter.com/o8e4a3C77X

Several of the accounts under investigation appear to be associated with LGBT subcultures. One individual, “Osamu bin Tezuka,” used the X handle “@fujoshincel,” a reference to a genre of anime that depicts romantic relationships between men. pic.twitter.com/IzRrWdxqTL

Another user, “@NajraGalvz,” who had wished death to Kirk and predicted that “something big will happen” when he set foot on campus, had identified as nonbinary on X. pic.twitter.com/cMGK1aXjqz

And in a video posted on TikTok the night before the shooting, an individual who appears to be transgender wrote that “charles james kirk…does not know what’s coming tomorrow.” pic.twitter.com/Vtsvo16cnF

FBI Evidence
FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News that agent found DNA evidence of the suspect at the scene of the crime: “I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody.”
Kash Patel confirms that the DNA from the towel that was wrapped around the assassin's firearm, and DNA on a screwdriver, are positively processed for Tyler Robinson.

Patel mentioned group chats that Robinson allegedly belonged to, but reminded everyone that the FBI has a process and the agents need to do it by the book.
In other words, warrants are needed:
People think we can just get in these group chats and immediately find out who is in them. We the FBI, are the investigatory body supporting multiple prosecutions and ongoing investigations, and that’s another point. Our investigation at the FBI is ongoing, and there are scores of people in this discord chat room.
But we have to effectuate legal process. We have to go out there with search warrants so that if prosecutors want to later use this evidence, it’s not tainted by being illegally obtained. We the FBI are running the investigation pointly on the discord chat group. There are scores of individuals that are going to be spoken to. There are also lots of family members and friends that have already been spoken to.
And one more point on forensics, we were able to obtain in record time the text message chain between the suspect and his live in partner, as well as other critical cellular information from our cast team that analyzes cell phone data towers in the area to pinpoint the locations of the suspect and other individuals he was speaking with.
This is critical information that the FBI processed and got to prosecutors so they can lawfully use it in a court of law, and our investigation, our interviews, continue, but we’ve learned some shocking things when we spoke to his family and friends as well.
Patel couldn’t share the “shocking things” the FBI has learned but confirmed a few items:
His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left wing ideology, and even more so in these last couple of years, and he had a text message exchange he the suspect with another individual, in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for.
That are those are factually accurate investigatory findings by the FBI that we’ve handed over to the local authorities and the federal authorities to make their prosecutorial decisions.
But I believe in this instance of such public importance, the public has a right to know, and I’ve told you, I’m committed to transparency, and that’s what I’m doing here.
Then a written note came up. Patel said:
So what I was, what I’m able to say is, I addressed it partially earlier, is that the written note, we believe what did exist, and we have evidence to show what was in that note, which is and I’m going to summarize basically saying the suspect wrote a note saying, “I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it.”
That note was written before the shooting. We now have learned existed before the shooting was in the location, in the suspect in partners home. But we have since learned that the note, even though it has been destroyed, we have found forensic evidence of the note, and we have confirmed what that note says, because of our aggressive interview posture at the FBI.
NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel confirms Tyler Robinson’s DNA was found on the rifle towel and screwdriver, dozens of Leftist group chat members are under investigation, and his texts show he embraced Left-wing ideology and killed Charlie Kirk out of hatred for his beliefs.

The internet has always been a breeding ground for extremist ideologies of all colors. It would not surprise me if previous mass shooters weren’t radicalized/spurned by the rhetoric they inundate themselves with constantly.
I feel so old. Here I am complaining about those damn kids and their online chatrooms, but what am I supposed to do when the threat is so real?
“Get off my LAN.”
I feel that Google preamble AI search isn’t given me enough credit here
The lines “wrapt in 20000 towels, the only proof that Caroline had bowels” are a misremembered version of a famous epigram written by the poet Alexander Pope in 1737
. The original line, intended as a jab at Queen Caroline of Ansbach, was: “Here lies, wrapt up in forty thousand towels; the only proof that Caroline had bowels”.
Kash Patel – “People think we can just get in these group chats and immediately find out who is in them.”
Samantha Power requested 260 unmaskings during 2016, and “one question to ask is how honest she was about her role in snooping on Michael Flynn.”
When a powerful wokiesta Lefty in gov’t asks the equally lefty wokiesta ‘content moderator/online safety team’ at a lefty leaning social media company the companies generally scrambled to comply. When the Trump DoJ asks them I’d wager these same folks ain’t nearly as cooperative.
I get the point you’re trying to make about Power. But, just to correct the record here, that’s not how ‘unmaskings’ work. When CIA/NSA are collecting information on foreign intelligence targets and during that collection, data that concerns an American citizen that would typically need a different kind of warrant to LEGALLY obtain is obtained, the identity of that American citizen is ‘masked’ from any downstream users of that intelligence. Simply stated, the masking procedure is a civil rights protection mechanism for US citizens. She (or someone operating on her behalf) unethically at best, illegally at worst stripped the anonymity of US citizens who phone calls/emails/texts were obtained by US intelligence services without a traditional criminal warrant.
Tracking the actual identity of an anonymous chat-group member is an entirely different, and potentially MUCH more laborious process, depending on how much energy the anonymous person put into maintaining his anonymity. Some of these platforms with high level encryption and automatic server-log dumping are surprisingly anonymous. The FBI will likely get what they need. But, it might take them some time.
Maybe we need a special operations group of the Doge guys.
Hey Kash, I think you’re doing a great job. But really, you should have kept your mouth shut about this until after the warrants were served.
Ahah
I’ve read elsewhere that even if you are not a direct participant in the murder itself, you can still be sentenced to death if convicted.
Kinda like Mary Surratt 2.0
The *only* way to dismantle organizations and ideologies like this is to make the consequences of engaging so severe that they eventually stop.
Sure. It’s rare but think of someone who orders a hitman to murder. The order also came from a murderer even if they didn’t pull the trigger.
The culpability is related to how much power the person has over the killer.
Other options are accessory, co-conspirator, obstruction of justice, etc.
In most jurisdictions, the crime of accessory (before the fact) to murder is as serious as murder itself. The guy who ordered it done, the guy who handed over the gun, the guy who left the office unlocked, the guy who drove him there, even the guy who suggested which building — they’re all subject to the same penalties as the guy who pulled the trigger. The only caveat is that they have to have known what was going to happen ahead of time and participated in any even trivial fashion. The guy who hid you afterwards knowing what you did is an accessory after the fact, which is a severe charge when the underlying crime is murder but not as serious as murder; the guy who agreed beforehand to be the getaway driver is up for the same penalty as murder.
In Utah … § 76-2-202 & 203
https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title76/Chapter2/76-2-S202.html
Every person, acting with the mental state required for the commission of an offense who directly commits the offense, who solicits, requests, commands, encourages, or intentionally aids another person to engage in conduct which constitutes an offense shall be criminally liable as a party for such conduct.
In any prosecution in which an actor’s criminal responsibility is based on the conduct of another, it is no defense:
(1) That the actor belongs to a class of persons who by definition of the offense is legally incapable of committing the offense in an individual capacity, or
(2) That the person for whose conduct the actor is criminally responsible has been acquitted, has not been prosecuted or convicted, has been convicted of a different offense or of a different type or class of offense or is immune from prosecution.
—
So you have to have mens rea (genuinely thinking the planning is for a role-playing game is a defense) but if you do, any contribution even mere verbal encouragement is sufficient to bear full responsibility.
We evidently now know there was at a minimum advance knowledge of the killer’s intent. I would be surprised if there was not also at least “mere verbal encouragement”.
I have a question for the lawyers: Is it legal and constitutional for the government to capture info before it has a warrant?
The government can capture leaked info (as long as they don’t break the law to obtain it) but they can’t use it to build their case unless it comes through the proper channels. Difference between leads and evidence, even though they sometimes overlap.
Sure it is. A warrant is necessary only to collect evidence from reluctant parties. Anybody can volunteer evidence to the police. And if the police are crooked enough, the provenance of that evidence might even be conveniently overlooked.
Not a lawyer, but certainly as long as they don’t violate privacy, and the courts have defined violating privacy pretty precisely by now.
They don’t need a warrant to go in and look around if the roommate allows it; the roommate is a legal resident. If the roommate were a child or a guest, that would be dubious or illegal, probably illegal. And they might not be able to see Robinson’s own bedroom, which isn’t the roommate’s (it was a 3 bedroom apartment, so I presume they had separate bedrooms) to show them even though it’s probably not locked.
They don’t need a warrant to look at his public social media, see who he talks to on social media, talk to them, and ask them for information or to see their social media pages.
They do need a warrant before cracking his phone, forcing the social media companies to cough up his private posts, etc.
LEO (or anyone else) can gather publicly facing/non private communication and/or activities conducted in public. There’s no expectation of privacy for things done, said or posted in ‘public spaces’.
I said it 30 years ago “with the invention of the internet, all the village idiots will find each other and become a community.” Another example here.
I wonder if “the screwdriver” was involved in the reassembly of the (modified) rifle that originally was designed not to be broken down, or was it used to jimmy open the door to the roof?
Speaking of the rifle, mention of it before the shooter had it on the roof is absent? Did I miss some mention of video of Robinson in possession of the rifle before he was seen on the roof with it?
If I’m correct and there has been no such mention, it makes me think the rifle was left in the building or on the roof earlier (day before?), either by Robinson himself or by a confederate.
I’m pretty sure I saw mentions that the video surveillance footage of that day showed him hauling the rifle up a stairwell to the roof.
True. I’m going to discount the rumors that someone else left the rifle off-campus for him to pick up before the shooting, since it’s been positively IDed as his grandfather’s, and his own SMS stream also mentions going back to pick it up (i.e., he didn’t leave it for someone else to pick up).
This is just the beginning.
Once the feds conclusively identify some of the people involved, and they pick them for questioning, watch how quickly they start turning on each other to avoid what likely be very long, hard time prison sentences. (Yes, the death penalty is possible for accessory to murder, but if the OKC bomber’s co-conspirators didn’t get it, it ain’t happening here.)
These people are largely keyboard commandos, not mob guys or gangbangers who have done time before and/or face lethal consequences if they snitch. When the feds show up, and these pansies realize they probably aren’t coming home for long, long time, they will sing like proverbial canaries.
These people are largely keyboard commandos, not mob guys or gangbangers who have done time before and/or face lethal consequences if they snitch.
Maybe. Probably. But there is a non-zero chance that these people are the footsoldiers of a funded effort to stir low intensity conflict in this country. And some of those people in the chat may be distributing funds, logistics, encouragement, techniques.
There’s lots of “maybe”, “possibly”, “could be” in there. That what the investigation is for. Because it could be something more. Antifa isn’t just an idea.
