Authorities have worked relentlessly to prevent the transgender killer\u2019s writings from becoming public, while also suggesting that they do not contain political motives.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI told The Daily Wire shortly after the shooting that it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fbi-isnt-treating-nashville-shooting-as-domestic-terrorism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not considering it domestic terrorism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI\u2019s definition of domestic terrorism is \u201cviolent, criminal acts committed by individuals and\/or groups to further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nashville-police-deny-daily-wires-request-for-trans-shooters-manifesto\/\" title=\"Nashville Police Deny Daily Wire\u2019s Request For Trans Shooter\u2019s Manifesto\">ideological goals stemming<\/a> from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden\u2019s DOJ officials have said that right<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/five-global-elections-set-to-rock-the-world-in-2022\/\" title=\"Five Global Elections Set to Rock the World in 2022\">-wing terrorism<\/a> is the biggest threat to the country, and the FBI has been accused of coming to that conclusion by juking the stats, falsely putting unrelated cases in the category of right-wing terrorism while not counting left-wing terrorism as such.<\/p>\n<p>She wrote that she used stuffed animals to pretend to be a boy having sex with a girl, saying \u201cGod, I am such a pervert.\u201d The diary entry was dated 16 days before the March 27, 2023 attack, The Star reported.<\/p>\n<p>In another entry dated a month before the shooting, she wrote<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo now [because] of you, I wish death on myself cause of the pure hatred of my female gender\u2026 with no rights, anyone\u2019s country is a s\u2014\u2013 dictatorship,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/tennesseestar.com\/justice\/audrey-hale-wrote-political-rant-about-guns-and-transgenderism-one-month-before-covenant-school-attack\/tpappert\/2024\/06\/05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Star<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Star also uncovered a document this week showing that the <a href=\"https:\/\/tennesseestar.com\/justice\/fbi-memo-on-protection-of-legacy-tokens-sent-to-nashville-police-in-may-2023-opposed-release-of-covenant-killer-documents-cited-destruction-precedent\/tpappert\/2024\/06\/05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FBI pressured the Nashville police<\/a> not to release the manifesto. Nashville Metro Police Department chief John Drake promised Gov.

From what Raush said, the material finds that the killer did not write about specific political, religious or social issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two separate leaks have now undermined that claim, with documents obtained by Steven Crowder also showing the shooter \u2014 who was killed by police and who The Daily Wire is not naming \u2014 was fueled by hatred against left-wing targets like \u201cwhite privilege\u201d and \u201ccrackers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWanna <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nashville-shooter-decried-crackers-and-white-privilege-leaked-manifesto-pages-reveal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kill all you little crackers<\/a>,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Josh DeVine, a spokesman for TBI, did not immediately explain the discrepancy.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI did not return a request for comment on why, given the contents of the manifesto, it was not deemed domestic terrorism, and whether the FBI\u2019s suppression of the manifesto was designed to conceal that discrepancy.<\/p>\n<p>In the months before the shooting, Democratic politicians had claimed, in overheated rhetoric, that Republicans were oppressing transgender people with new policies. After the shooting occurred\u2013despite a manifesto that may have suggested it was left-wing terrorism ginned up by their own rhetoric\u2013authorities concealed the manifesto, and Democrats used the shooting to demand another of their priorities, gun control.<\/p>\n<p>Transgenders have allegedly been behind a spate of planned school shootings, and contents of their writings have in other cases <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/court-docs-show-trans-teen-arrested-for-planning-mass-shooting-fawned-over-covenant-shooter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">been released<\/a> without issue.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, another female-to-male graduate of a Nashville Christian school was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/another-transgender-charged-with-threats-against-nashville-christian-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">charged<\/a> with allegedly threatening to commit a copycat attack near the anniversary of the Covenant shooting.
