A hidden document has finally surfaced — and it reveals TPUSA auditor Tyler Robinson was involved in the Charlie Kirk case long before anyone knew. His notes were never released, never mentioned, and may have been intentionally buried. Why were his findings kept secret? And who was trying to hide them? The truth behind this missing audit is more shocking than anyone expected… – hgiangg
For more than three years, the mysterious “missing audit” surrounding the leadership scandal inside the Civic Progress Alliance (CPA) has been a subject of speculation. Rumors circulated, accusations were traded, and official statements insisted that “all internal reviews have been disclosed.” Yet a lingering question haunted investigators, journalists, and even members within the organization: Was something — or someone — deliberately erased from the record?
Last month, that question was finally answered.
A previously unknown set of audit notes has surfaced, authored by a man almost no one remembered: Theo Ransom, a junior compliance auditor assigned to the CPA’s financial integrity team in early 2021. Before now, his involvement was never publicly acknowledged. In fact, his name did not appear in any internal summaries, official filings, or post-scandal reports.
Until now, Theo Ransom was a ghost.

The notes paint a far more complex picture of the controversy surrounding CPA president Calder Knox, whose rapid rise and sudden implosion shook the organization to its core. And they raise pressing questions: Who buried Ransom’s findings? Why were his notes concealed? And what did he discover that someone wanted to keep hidden?
The answers may be even more explosive than the scandal itself.
The Auditor No One Was Supposed to Know About
To understand the gravity of the discovery, one must understand who Theo Ransom was — or rather, who he wasn’t. Ransom was not a senior figure, not a whistleblower, not even a staff member long enough to be remembered by most of his peers. He was hired on a six-month contract during a period when CPA was rushing to respond to questions about its opaque funding structures.
The official record claims that the first internal audit began in late March 2021, launched after troubling discrepancies in CPA’s outreach expenditure. But Ransom’s notes — dated January 14, a full two months earlier — indicate that he was instructed to begin preliminary reviews “connected to leadership expenditures” well before the scandal became public.
If accurate, this rewrites the entire timeline.
It suggests that senior leadership knew something was wrong long before they admitted it. And more importantly, it shows that an internal investigator had already begun documenting serious problems — ones that would later trigger a firestorm around Calder Knox.
What Was in the Notes?
Spanning 37 pages, Ransom’s handwritten observations, annotated documents, and draft memos reveal a pattern of irregularities that appear far more severe than what CPA publicly acknowledged in 2021. They include:
- Unexplained transfers between accounts labeled for “executive outreach initiatives”
- Vendor payments with no corresponding service logs
- Reimbursement requests marked “confidential – leadership only”
- Emails referencing “parallel budgets” maintained outside official oversight
But the most alarming part is a series of entries referencing direct involvement from Knox’s office. Ransom never outright accuses Knox of wrongdoing; his notes are cautious, methodical, and heavily qualified. Yet he repeatedly circled back to one phrase: “requires further confirmation — assumed leadership knowledge.”

In other words: Ransom believed the discrepancies were not accidental.
He also believed they went higher than anyone wanted to admit.
The Vanishing Audit
Shortly after compiling these notes, Ransom was reassigned. According to personnel logs, his contract ended abruptly on February 3, weeks before the audit was officially launched. There is no record of his termination, no documented reason for his departure, and, most strangely, no acknowledgement that his research ever existed.
Those familiar with the CPA’s audit processes say that this is highly unusual. Even short-term contractors do not simply disappear from the record. Their files are typically retained, their drafts archived, and their names included in review chains.
Yet Ransom’s paper trail ended almost as soon as it began.
His notes were never submitted, never stored in the official archive, and never referenced in the final audit report that CPA released months later — a report that concluded “no evidence of leadership-directed financial misconduct is substantiated.”
That conclusion looks far less convincing today.
How the Notes Reappeared
So how did this long-buried document finally come to light?
According to the anonymous source who supplied the materials, the notes were found inside an unrelated storage locker rented by a former CPA operations manager who left the organization in 2022. The manager denies intentionally storing the notes, claiming that “boxes of archived paperwork were relocated during the office remodel.”
But the timing raises suspicions. The remodel occurred in late 2021, just months after the internal audit concluded. It is unclear whether Ransom’s notes were misplaced, moved, or deliberately extracted from CPA offices.
What is clear is that no one was meant to see them.

Who Had Something to Lose?
Experts who reviewed the documents point to two possible explanations for their disappearance:
Bureaucratic Neglect
It is possible — though unlikely — that Ransom’s notes were simply left out due to poor internal management. CPA was known for chaotic filing practices at the time, especially during the rapid expansion of its compliance team.
Active Suppression
A more troubling scenario: someone within the organization recognized that Ransom’s early findings posed a risk — either to specific individuals or to the institution as a whole — and ensured they never entered the official audit pipeline.
If this is true, the concealment may have been intentional, strategic, and coordinated.
And that possibility reframes the entire scandal.
Why Would Someone Hide Them?
Ransom’s findings, if included in the official audit, would have forced investigators to focus on leadership practices far earlier in the timeline. They might have connected the dots between suspicious expenditures and executive decisions before the narrative could be managed by in-house crisis teams.
In other words: the audit would have been impossible to control.
By burying the notes, the organization retained the ability to define the story, limit the scope of the investigation, and shape the public perception of Knox’s involvement.
Whether this was done to protect Knox, protect CPA, or protect the careers of those surrounding him remains unclear.
But the incentive was undeniable.

The Mystery of Theo Ransom
Where is Ransom now? That question remains unanswered. Attempts to contact him were unsuccessful. His former colleagues recall him as quiet, meticulous, and “someone who noticed details that others overlooked.” A person close to the internal audit team said:
“He was the kind of guy who would see something wrong and actually write it down. That probably made him inconvenient.”
If someone within the organization feared that those notes could expose uncomfortable truths, the easiest path was simple: make the notes disappear — and make sure their author vanished with them.
What Happens Next?
The rediscovered notes have now been provided to external auditors, several investigative journalists, and a nonprofit watchdog group focused on organizational transparency. Legal experts say that if CPA leadership knew about the discrepancies earlier than reported, they may face renewed scrutiny.
The truth may take months — or years — to fully unravel.
But one thing is certain: the missing audit was never missing. It was hidden.
And in that concealment lies a story more damning than the scandal it sought to suppress.
