Larry Johnson confirms: Charlie Kirk killing was NOT by Tyler Robinson.

3 October 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson is among the extremely few public analysts of news-events who is so reliably true that I have never heard from him something that has turned out to have been false. No news-analyst has a better record than he. Here is what he said on the Friday weekly news-roundup with Johnson and his fellow retired CIA analyst Jim McGovern, interviewed by the retired Judge Andrew Napolitano, regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk:

“INTEL Roundtable w/ [Larry] Johnson & [Ray] McGovern - Weekly Wrap 3-OCT”

3 October 2025, Judge Napolitano

0:38

October 3rd, 2025. It's the end of the day, the end of the week, our favorite

0:44

time and our favorite program, the intelligence community roundtable with my dear and longtime friends Ray McGovern

0:51

and Larry Johnson. Gentlemen, thank you and welcome here. Thank you for the double uh duty.

0:57

NAPOLITANO: Larry, to you first. Did Tyler Robinson, the young man arrested in Utah and

1:05

charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk, pull the trigger on the weapon that

1:11

propelled the bullet that killed Charlie? JOHNSON: No. No. He He's innocent of that. Uh, if

1:18

he fired any rifle, it's not the one that the FBI is claiming. Uh, the the the

1:24

round that killed Charlie Kirk was not a 306. I know early on we thought so,

1:30

but then once once you you know [we] finally saw that there was no exit wound, it was

1:36

impossible that a 306 round would have been the the device that killed him. It

1:42

was, it was more likely what's called a frangible round. It's a round that was designed that the bullet breaks up upon

1:49

entering the human body or upon hitting an object. Uh, so this was, uh, I don't

1:57

know why the FBI rushed in such a way with no good evidence and in particular you

2:03

know the FBI is supposed to be better than this. The [FBI Director] Kash Patel has turned this into a clown show in my view, and

2:09

it’s, it's disgusting and it's despicable. NAPOLITANO: Well, well, is your analysis that somebody else killed Charlie or

2:16

that it was a different weapon from the one the FBI claims? JOHNSON: When you watch the video, the minute

2:22

after the shot is just as the shot breaks, it looks like you you've been to a sporting event where people do the wave,

2:29

you know, they stand up. Only, in this case, it was the opposite of the wave. Everybody was sitting down and it went

2:35

from Charlie's left to the right. Now, if the shot had come from behind, they

2:41

would have been coming forward. Instead, the crowd is moving from left to right.

2:47

That right there tells you it was somebody else than Tyler Robinson. If in fact that was Tyler Robinson on the

2:54

roof, we have no evidence that that's him. The fact that the FBI comes out with this crap that it was a we got the

3:00

screwdriver that was used to disassemble the rifle. Go online and you can disassemble one of those in maybe 43

3:07

seconds. But they were saying he did it in a matter of two or three seconds. So, I mean, it's just lie piled upon lie.

3:15

FBI has got a major credibility issue here. NAPOLITANO: Why would, Ray I haven't forgotten

3:20

you're that you're there with me? MCGOVERN: That’s okay. I'm interested. NAPOLITANO: Yeah, I know. I know. Why would the FBI

3:27

lie unless they're trying to cover up for somebody? JOHNSON: Ding ding ding ding ding. We have a winner, Judge Napalitano.

3:35

Yeah, that's exactly what's going on. they're covering it up. Um, you know, there are a lot of strange coincidences.

3:44

One strange coincidence, uh, via Candace Owens, who spoke to Charlie Kirk, uh,

3:49

days two days before this, Charlie had made the decision that he was going to

3:55

stop taking money from the Zionists. That's both Christian and Jewish Zionists. He didn't like the fact that

4:01

they were giving money and pressuring him, telling him that he can't have Tucker Carlson, he can't have Dave

4:07

Smith, he can't have Megan Kelly at his rallies. And he goes, "No, no, you're not going to exercise that kind of

4:13

control. I'm going to stop taking your money." Two days later, he's dead. Coincidence. Or the fact that the FBI,

4:21

the head of the FBI that was sent out there to Utah to oversee the investigation came from an office in

4:26

Connecticut that shared, they shared the office building with Anti-Defamation League who Kash Patel just two days ago

4:34

cut all FBI ties with. Just again coincidence.

4:40

NAPOLITANO: So, the weapon that we've seen, the bolt-action rifle, is not the weapon that

4:46

killed him, because the round that it shoots, it would have caused radically

4:53

different damage to Charlie's body than was caused by the bullet that hit him. Do I have that right?

4:58

JOHNSON: Yeah, it would have it would have either exploded his head, literally, severed half of his head. Uh there's a I've

5:05

posted a video at sonar21.com. NAPOLITANO: I saw it. I was afraid to watch it. I thought it was going to show the killing

5:12

and then it'll cause me nights. JOHNSON: Nobody wants to have that in their mind. But this was done by this army retired

5:18

army special forces sergeant. Um he he is it goes by Vajala VFT as his channel.

5:26

And you know he shot a a a quarter inch steel plate, a 3/8 inch steel plate and

5:33

then a half inch steel plate. Because remember the the the spokesman for Turning Point USA say Charlie's neck was

5:40

like steel. It stopped the bullet. Well, they fire a 308 at each of those steel

5:46

plates. It goes completely through the quarter inch and the 3/8 inch and it

5:52

makes a heavy indentation and deflects off of the half inch. I guarantee you

5:57

nobody no human neck is the equivalent of a half inch of steel. Number one. So,

6:02

and it also shows that that bullet when it hit when it was fired at the femur of

6:07

a, you know, the bone from a cow femur shattered the bone. So, this why the

6:14

FBI would go out with such a lame story, one that's so easily disproven. And that that's why I say Tyler Robinson, if this

6:21

if this case goes to court, you know, unless they do the Epstein treatment on him, if the case gets to court, he'll be

6:28

acquitted. NAPOLITANO: Does uh defense council have your contact information, Larry?

On September 20th, I headlined “Evidences Charlie Kirk’s Killing Was a Professional Hit-Job”, and some of that was about Israel’s having likely been behind the assassination.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
