    Interesting that the investigators say he had “no strongly held political beliefs”, while people who knew him say he was right leaning, Republican, and of course he was a registered Republican voter.

    Is “no strongly held political beliefs” code for “we don’t want to talk about him being Republican”?

      Or their definition of “strongly held” is just skewed to the extremes. Sort of like how during the pandemic, any case of COVID that didn’t require a ventilator was considered “mild”. Even if you feel like you’re dying, it’s a triage situation and you don’t need urgent medical attention. So even if your symptoms are debilitating, they aren’t imminently life-threatening and you’re considered mild.
