And former Governor Dayton
Boelters prior appointments to the Governors Workforce Development Board (2016 by Governor Mark Dayton, 2019 by Walz, term expired 2023) placed him in state government records, making it easier for authorities to match his identity to evidence like the manifesto or Fathers Day card.
The above was part of a post at FR and I wont provide a link to it.
But they ignore this part of the post:
Critical Evaluation
Reliability: The APs report, citing two law enforcement sources, is the most credible, as it aligns with multiple outlets (FOX 9, Hindustan Times, The Washington Post) and is less speculative than X posts. Rosas and Markowiczs claims on X, while early, are supported by the AP and a notarized document, adding weight, but their police sources are unverified. Outlets like The Liberty Daily and Must Read Alaska frame Boelter as a radical Democrat or communist, which lacks evidence and reflects bias, as no source confirms his political leanings.

Never a good idea, imo.

(7,698 posts)Why was the first reporter to get this a RW reporter? The first report of this came from a Blaze Reporter reporting on X that sources gave him the information.
I am guessing this guy had members of both parties on his hit list. Someone deliberately wanted to set the narrative. Why wasn't there an official announcement before it was leaked to Blaze and THE AP by anonymous sources?
Either way, this guy needs to be put away for life. I hope he is captured alive to face his punishment.

(16,693 posts)Some nut bag Governor appointed me to some shit called "The Royal Order of Kentucky Colonels" when I was on Navy recruiting duty back in the 80's.
Even got a card and a stupid certificate autopen signed by the governor of KY.
Would that mitigate things if I did political assassinations?
He sure as fuck didn't target Retrumplicans, did he?
Fuck this noise...and fuck any media org that thinks a 2016 appointment, and a 2019 reappointment deserves one fucking second of America's serious thoughts.
