Suspect in Charlie Kirk killing identified as Tyler Robinson – reports
According to multiple reports, citing law enforcement sources, a suspect in the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, who is local to Utah.
We’re due to hear from FBI director Kash Patel and Utah officials shortly. We’ll bring you the latest lines as we have them.
Trump gives the "official story" to Fox and Friends, i.e., Rupert's thing, Hegseth's former thing, gets the sit-down disclosure - here. Also, Fox, here, he's Israel's friend (Indirectly staking ground: Mossad did not do it over Epstein files).
Times of Isreal coverage, here and here. Doth protest too much?
We await the "suspect" Trump/FOX has fingered to be given a chance to release a statement. (We'll wait a long time, likely from counsel, after indictment.)
WE GOT OUR GUY AND THAT'S IT. FULL STORY. ALL THAT'S FIT TO TELEVISE.
(I posted without taking time to watch the Fox and Friends dog-and-pony, so, did Trump say anything about Kirk and his stance on the Epstein files? You'd have to watch to give me a certain answer, but our guesses likely don't diverge.)
UPDATE: While on the subject of Trump, here's latest Guardian coverage of things in Brazil.
"Trial of the Centdury," they headline it that way.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, while, like Sherlock, considering here, here and here; the latter item saying:
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said he includes President Trump among those who should tone down their rhetoric in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
”I mean, there is a lot of rhetoric. And the president himself engages in it — he called it a hostile act to co-sponsor the Epstein resolution,” said Massie, who was a leading voice in pushing a motion to force the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “I think that’s ridiculous rhetoric.”
“It’s amusing,” he added. “It doesn’t offend me that he’s over the top with the rhetoric, but some people take it literally, and he should probably tone that down himself.”
Massie has often been at odds with his party, refusing to back GOP priorities that would raise the debt limit, including Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
In response, Trump said Massie was “not MAGA” and has encouraged someone to primary him.
“Thomas Massie, the worst Republican Congressman, and an almost guaranteed NO VOTE each and every time, is an Embarrassment to Kentucky,” Trump wrote in one post on Truth Social in July. “He’s lazy, slow moving, and totally disingenuous — A real loser!”
He added, “Never has anything positive to add. Looking for someone good to run against this guy, someone I can Endorse and vigorously campaign for!”
The feud has further escalated after the Kentucky Republican filed a discharge petition earlier this month on a resolution to release the Epstein files, an effort that is inching closer to a sufficient number of signatures to force a vote.
Eyes on the prize. How will JD spin that? With ignoring the Kirk-Epstein Files connection being guessed as a part of it. The don't look here, look there spin where Ohio Haitians might also somehow play a role.
JD cooks a stew when intending to.
See what the suspect identity-and-story are, but don't ignore Kirk - Epstein Files as an overarching theme.
Weigh all the rhetoric pending before Kirk got shot, and now, after, but understand Crabgrass has opinions colored by long set politics in viewing circumstances, so keep an open mind, as will be tried here.
-------------------------------------------
The BBC item uses images in a advertorial manner. As in,
RELEASE THE FUCKING FILES, ALREADY and CHIPS FALL AS DESERVED, MR. TRUMP.
FURTHER: The BBC item went online two days ago, i.e., the day before Epstein file influencer Kirk was shot dead from some angle. That explains why the Kirk situation was not analyzed by the BBC then. It had not yet happened, being the next day's news.
FINAL UPDATE: Facts get in the way of many favored theories, but a confessing perp is a situation you accept. You don't try to argue with it.
The Kirk - Epstein Files theory was nice, but not the case. The story seems the shooter shot Kirk because Kirk was a small-minded hateful asshole, and not for any reason beyond that.
If Stephen Miller had made a low-security public visit to that school on the 9/11 anniversary, who knows.
Now, release the files. Kirk is a closed book. The files are anything but that.
FINAL FINAL UPDATE: There is something barbaric about my wanting to use Kirk's death to focus sunlight upon his stance on the Epstein Files. That is admitted.
Read Howie Klein's post on Kirk's passing, and get a feel for the why sense behind how I've written this up as I did. Klein details things I presumed readers would already understand. If not, Read Klein's item.
Honor the living with the truth, first, always - as much because the dead will not care anymore - and truth must always prevail. The clean fact is I have no grief over Kirk being shot. I feel for wife and children, but Kirk put them second to his shtick, which was a closed and hateful message. Sympathy dries up for me when a hater passes.
I don't miss Henry Kissinger, for instance. He made 100 years but the Reaper got him, and do you miss him? I don't miss the Dulles brothers. Roy Coen.
