There It Is: The FBI Knew About Trump's Assassin Since 2019
[Townhall] Regarding one of the questions surrounding this second assassination attempt concerning when/if the FBI knew, we learned that the bureau did know about Routh in 2019. It involved an investigation into illegal possession of a firearm. Routh’s rap sheet could span the continental United States, so how he was able to obtain firearms remains a mystery, though, as in the past, I’m sure we’ll find out that it was some form of government incompetence. It could also be that criminals don’t follow federal firearms laws.

US court indicts suspect in Trump assassination attempt
A US court has indicted Ryan Wesley Root, a suspect in the second assassination attempt on presidential candidate Donald Trump. CNN reported this on September 16.

It is noted that the suspect has been charged with two counts related to firearms.

According to the channel, the charges include possession of a firearm while convicted of a felony and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 15, the FBI reported that Trump was shot while the politician was playing golf at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

Law enforcement officers detained Ryan Wesley Root. It turned out that he had previously been in Kiev and participated in recruiting mercenaries for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene pointed out Root's participation in a video in support of the Ukrainian formation "Azov" (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation).

Trump said he was unharmed and safe. The politician added that nothing will stop him and he will never give up.

The first assassination attempt on Trump was made on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, during his campaign rally. The politician was shot several times. He was wounded in the ear. The suspect was then eliminated by security personnel.

Kremlin has commented on the second assassination attempt on Trump
The Russian side is monitoring information coming from Washington after the second assassination attempt on former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. This was reported on September 16 by the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov.

“This is not really our business,” the Kremlin spokesman noted, answering a question about how this situation could affect the elections and whether there is a risk of destabilization of the situation in the country.

Peskov added that the current stop in the country before the elections is tense.

“The political struggle is intensifying, a variety of methods are being used <…> We have never interfered in this in any way and are not interfering now,” explained the Russian leader’s press secretary.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 13, an assassination attempt was made on Trump in the city of Butler (Pennsylvania) during his campaign rally. Several shots were fired at the politician. He was wounded in the ear. The suspect in the shooting was eliminated by security personnel.

On September 15, a shooting occurred outside a golf club in West Palm Beach while Trump was there. The FBI called the incident a failed assassination attempt, and a suspect was arrested. According to police, he was 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh.

Later, the former head of the White House said that he was not injured in the incident and was safe. The politician emphasized that nothing will stop him and he will never give up.

On September 15, US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene reported that the suspect in the assassination attempt on Trump had appeared in a video in support of the Ukrainian nationalist formation Azov (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). It later became known that the detainee had visited Kiev, participated in recruiting mercenaries for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), and called on US President Joe Biden to send all the weapons the Americans have to Kiev and to introduce an American military contingent into Ukraine.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev did not rule out that Rauta could have been hired by the Kiev regime to organize Trump’s assassination.

#6 My question regards the SKS he had. He had left NC and moved to Hawaii several years ago, but came back for this.
I'm assuming TSA didn't let him bring the rifle on the plane, and he didn't come back by bus.
So, he has a weapons source/depot somewhere nearby.
Who?
