The US/FBI/CIA has done more unbelievable things, so I’m very open to that, but they read as believable to me. I don’t really have too strong of an opinion on them either way.

If the shooter was not this guy then more evidence and contradictions will start popping up beyond the texts.

I think the trans partner comes off more reasonable than if it was fake. She’s pretty much like “oh fuck I can’t believe you did that”
