This guy could have had surveillance cameras in the woods where he was hiding for some time. He also could have been monitoring the comings and goings of Mar-a-lago so he knew when Trump was on the move. I imagine his digital information is going to be a treasure trove. Hope he stays alive to face the music. Do we know make, model and age of his get away car?
I have wondered also if he was bankrolling his Ukraine "outreach" with donations?

Thinking that he bought it in Florida, or North Carolina. I am vaguely aware that Hawaii has restrictions on guns.
Though guns ownership is by no means forbidden, one evidently does not just stroll into any pawn shop in Hawaii, then walk out with a military surplus style rifle and thirty round type magazines 20 minutes later.
Likewise, the would be assassin's criminal record would prevent him from buying weapons from a licensed dealer (and technically through a private sale as well). But.... I would not be surprised if private sales sans background checks are not very common in Hawaii.

It has been reported that it was his daughter's vehicle that he was driving and I think they said it was a Nissan. I assume we will eventually hear more. Did he borrow it from her in NC and drove to Florida with it, and when? How long did he have it?
I, too, have been thinking about RR making money off of his Ukraine "outreach." The guy had money from somewhere.

Ok, more answers here:
According to the complaint, cell phone records show that Routh was in the area of the golf course tree line for about 12 hours, from approximately 1:59 a.m. until 1:31 p.m. on Sunday.
The license plate on the Nissan SUV in which Routh was stopped was registered to a 2012 Ford truck that has been reported stolen, according to authorities.

They fail to mention that word gets around.
A hypothetical example would be: A local residents' Facebook group that is either supportive of Trump, not supportive or just a "things going on around town" FB group: "Trump is playing golf again". Memes get shared about it.
I'm not saying these FB groups exist or don't exist, but locals know and anyone can usually join groups. MOO MOO MOO
Also, his campaign schedule is known. Hence, he would likely be in Florida. And he does golf on Sunday when he is at Mar a lago.
He would not be a difficult person to track.

When he was in office and at the Florida residence, there would be sheriff cars everywhere and the roads would often be diverted or barricaded/guarded so you could not just stop and walk up to the edge of the property as this man apparently did. That this perp could get that close to the course at all is a failure, that the SS missed when they fired, that he was only captured because a bystander took a photo of the plate etc...

Routh was in the area of the golf course from 1:59am until 1:31pm.

Those charges are enough to keep him in custody for now and file additional charges later as the feds put together their case.
Wondering whether any person or entity "invited" him to star in this "monumental" endeavor against Trump

During the hearing, Routh gave routine information to court officials as to his work status and income. Speaking in a soft voice, he said that he was working and making around $3,000 a month, but has zero savings.
Routh said that he has no real estate or assets, aside from two trucks worth about $1,000, both located in Hawaii. Routh also said that he has a 25-year-old son, whom he sometimes supports.
Also, September 23 scheduled bond hearing and September 30 scheduled arraigment.
ETA I wonder if they asked him what his reported gun collection is worth.

For now. He’ll obviously face charges related to the assassination attempt as well. This just ensures he’s going nowhere.
IMO: the laws barely applies to him when he got off with suspended sentence/probation for charge of possessing a weapon of mass destruction, etc. His past crimes certainly warranted an upper echelon position on a few radars.
Thanks for posting this, I can't find many news articles that have identified the correct make or model of Routh's rifle ?
It's been said that the clip that attaches will also fit an AK-47 ; so maybe that's where the confusion on the part of msm is coming in.

Well that is outrageous then. I mean if he was really there all that time, then a simple walk of the perimeter with a dog with have sniffed him out. Do they not do perimeter checks before their protectee arrives? I guess I always assumed they did to sweep it for bombs or something that could have been planted before they arrived.Ok, more answers here:
