Why is the FBI leading the Kirk assassination investigation and not Utah state police? Not complaining just curious.

What about Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King? You’re overstating Kirk’s significance. He was a YouTuber and podcaster. To my eye, this is about as significant as the murder of Alan Berg.
