Here is a link to the House Committee press release with an image of the same tweet: https://democrats-financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=413784

In the senate, calls for an investigation by Warren and Wyman and request for Senate to release files by Schumer, were also blocked on the same day Kirk was murdered.

So weird.

You're ignoring the part at the end that just shows the guy make a signal right as Kirk speaks his final words.

The last 10ish seconds of that clip are what's important

I can't confirm anything about what those signals mean, if anything. I can confirm with zero knowledge of military signals, the two guys standing about a foot behind Charlie Kirk when he was murdered were acting weird and making odd/awkward gestures just before he was shot.

He's sitting completely still in one spot. Why do we need two beefy secret operatives to tell this guy to shoot? To what end? It isn't standing to scrutiny for me

I just said I have no idea what they were doing. It is just very strange the guy in black made such an odd gesture as Kirk spoke his last words and the moment before the gun went off.

I think spreading baseless conspiracy in the wake of a shooting is typical right wing grifter fare, a la Alex Jones. I'd just like to caution everyone to view these with a very critical eye

It's the law of large numbers. There were a lot of people in that crowd, and a lot of cameras. People make weird movement and have weird tics all the time. It's statistically impossible for there to not be at least a few people who made some strange move right then and there.
