The FBI has issued zero public statements about the X account that named the WHCD shooter 28 months before the attack

A Tweet Named the Shooter 28 Months Before the Attack. The FBI Has Said Nothing.

When a digital artifact pre-dates an assassination attempt by more than two years, federal investigators normally seize it within hours. They issue preservation orders. They request platform metadata — login IPs, device fingerprints, recovery email. They run the operator's identity to ground.

The Silence

As of April 26, 2026, the FBI has issued zero public statements on @HenryMa79561893. The Secret Service has not addressed it. X / Elon Musk has not commented or suspended the account. The post remains live with 11.8 million views.

The Briefing That Skipped It

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche held a press briefing addressing Cole Allen's writings and motivations. He addressed the manifesto, the family interviews, the weapons. He did not mention the dormant X account that had named the suspect. Whether by oversight or by deliberate omission, the most viral piece of online evidence in the case received zero official acknowledgment.

What That Could Mean

There are three possibilities. The first: investigators have not deemed the account credible. The second: investigators are working it under a preservation order and won't comment until charges are filed. The third: the post is genuinely a coincidence. Each requires the FBI to say something. So far, none has.
