The Tyler Files

Opposition research database. Clearance level: anyone with WiFi. Four case files, years of evidence, one increasingly troubling banjo — all organized far too professionally for a basement.

The Case Files

Reviewed. Stamped. Reluctantly confirmed.

CASE FILE 001 — The Banjo Tapes

Archival footage reveals Rice performing on 5-string banjo. Status: CONFIRMED. Threat level: disturbingly twangy. Contains intercepted surveillance video.

CASE FILE 002 — The Marketing History

No evidence that banjo improves Google Ads performance. Extensive evidence of everything else. Status: worse than we thought.

CASE FILE 003 — The Durango Connection

Timeline and photographic documentation of a suspiciously long relationship with Southwest Colorado. Includes the Disguise Incident.

CASE FILE 004 — Known Associates

Musicians. Artists. Small business owners. A hydration specialist. How deep does the network go? (Deep.)

CASE FILE 005 — [SEALED]

Contents classified until the investigation concludes, or until somebody finds the key to the filing cabinet, whichever comes first.

The Investigation So Far

A complete procedural history of the Committee's work.

1

Committee formed

Concerned citizens establish the Committee to Stop Tyler Rice in an undisclosed basement with folding tables and conviction.

2

Funding questions raised

A volunteer asks who is paying for the folding tables. The question is referred to a subcommittee.

3

Subcommittee disbanded

The subcommittee's preliminary finding ('it's Tyler') is deemed outside the scope of the investigation.

4

The evidence phase

Forty-four photographs catalogued. Three videos intercepted. One redacted ledger obtained. The work continues, because stopping would involve admitting things.

Or start with the raw evidence

Forty-four exhibits, uncaptioned by spin, captioned instead by us, which is worse.
