I was just pointing out that whatever this administration says or does should be taken with a massive salt crystal. If the FBI releases any statement now, you have to question what their angle is for saying that.

The pigs too, but that's nothing new. And yet, in the Trump regime, I distrust the pigs less than I distrust the FBI. That's saying something. But I still distrust them - particularly Utah pigs.

This regardless of whether it's about the evidence found in this case or any other case. My point was that it's critically important to think critically about any information released by the authorities, today more than ever.

If the FBI releases any statement now, you have to question what their angle is for saying that.

Sure.

What we have so far is:

  • Trump claiming it's a leftist doing this - obviously politically motivated
  • evidence pointing to him being conservative, and potentially radicalized by the far right

We'll see how much grip Trump has over the FBI, but I really don't see them doubling down on what Trump says here. There's so little to gain and so much to lose.
