Man Who Tried to Assassinate Trump Was Flagged by a Second Federal Agency, Then Ignored
[Red State] When Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump on September 15, landed in Honolulu in June 2023 on his way home from Ukraine and went through customs, the spontaneous comments he made caused US Customs and Border Patrol agents to interview him on the spot and flag him for further investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, according to an exclusive report at Just The News.

Now to the bottom line:

Given what this guy was doing in Ukraine and his interactions with CBP agents and with a CIA agent (as Susie reported Monday), and the fact that a nurse working in Ukraine brought Routh to the attention of CBP as a dangerous person, there's no way the various intelligence agencies in our country didn't have him on their radar or under constant surveillance. If Tucker Carlson interacting with people in Russia for an interview was enough to have his Signal account hacked and communications tapped, with the level of interaction Routh was having with foreign agents around the world he had to have had a FISA warrant active on his communications, right? Perhaps we will find out.

Yes, recruited sources require various levels of reporting and monitoring. Expensive international travel, hotels, meals and walking around money demand accountability.

#4 #2 A New York Times reporter who had interviewed Routh last year wrote on Sunday that Routh was working to recruit former Afghan special operations soldiers who had fled to Iran to go fight in Ukraine.

And Iran, who's supposed to be Russia's ally, allows that?

#5 Routh was working to recruit former Afghan special operations soldiers who had fled to Iran to go fight in Ukraine.

"Recruit" to fight in Ukraine, or return and remain in Iran for other purposes ?

You decide.

#7 /\ 'Johnson described that the few documents which had been provided to the lawmakers were "heavily redacted."'

"Redacted" for what reason? Johnson and his people have the tickets to look at classified documents. What are they hiding ?

Routh shooter smells even worse.

#9 "Interesting Detail – U.S. Secret Service Agent Was Less Than 10 feet Away When He Shot at Ryan Routh"

"The U.S. Secret Service gave congressional investigators a briefing on the Trump assassination attempt by Ryan Routh at Trump National in Florida. According to Florida Representative Mike Waltz, who is a member of the committee investigating, apparently the U.S. Secret Service agent walked up on Routh from the fence line and saw the barrel of the SKS rifle. The proactive shots fired by the agent were from within 10 feet of Ryan Routh."

#11 /\ No, "he wasn't ignored" he was flushed. Later captured by local law enforcement. Escape foiled. Evidence clean-up detail averted.
