Feds coming up empty in attempt to link Kirk shooter to left-wing groups: NBC News

Despite claims coming from Donald Trump’s administration that the man who shot far-right conservative gadfly Charlie Kirk was part of a left-wing conspiracy, investigators are finding “no evidence” to back that claim.

According to a report from NBC News early Saturday morning, three insiders claimed they are coming up dry at the same time Vice President J.D. Vance and Trump adviser Stephen Miller are calling for a holy war of liberal groups over the killing of Kirk on a Utah college campus.

NBC News is reporting one member of the team investigating the shooting confessed, “... thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect [Tyler Robinson] with any left-wing groups.”

They added, “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”

All of this flies in the face of statements made by Miller who proclaimed, “With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people. It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie’s name.”

The report adds that filing a federal case against Robinson may also face hurdles.

“Factors that have complicated the effort to bring charges at the federal level include that Robinsin, a Utah resident, did not travel from out of state; Kirk was shot during an open campus debate at Utah Valley University. Additionally, Kirk himself is not a federal officer or elected official, further complicating the matter,” the report notes.
