Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

perhaps he was planning on trying to get away with afterwards and so erased everything so he could disappear easier?
come Feds, at least make up a motive. say he was mad about buying a donald trump steak and it tasted bad. something.
Either that or his motive was "he's really obviously a viscous pedophile, he's been close personal friends with espstein for decades" and all the movers and shakers agreed they don't wanna put that pretty reasonable explanation out
I think he was because he had improvised explosives in his car and at his house. No reason to make those unless you plan to be alive to use them.
didn't the cops say "bomb-making materials" which could easily be a lie about something mundane
Shoes and a larger-than-travel-size container of toothpaste
This is what I found. They don’t go into specifics tho.

Edit: other sources saying bombs too, but AP says “bomb making materials” so idk
yeah I was thinking that too
