FBI says they are reviewing Ryan Routh's social media presence including his statements to "recruit Afghan soldiers and others to fight for Ukraine.”


FBI investigated a 2019 tip that Ryan Routh was a felon with a weapon.


Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe says Ryan Routh never got off any shots yesterday.Secret Service agent shot at him.


Acting Secret Service director says counter sniper teams, counter assault teams, counter surveillance agents, and drones were all used yesterday while Former President Trump was golfing.


Acting Secret Service director says they are working in an "unprecedented high threat environment.”


FBI says tracking Ryan Routh's gun has been a challenge because the serial number was scratched off.


Acting Secret Service director says Trump's trip to the golf club was an "off the record movement.""He wasn't supposed to go there.”

FBI says they have no information that Ryan Routh was working with anyone else, but the investigation is ongoing.

I'd make the argument that Routh's own words suggest a fan gone wrong. He supported Trump and felt betrayed and disillusioned that whatever bizarre new world order he'd envisioned would emerge didn't happen.

MOO

I think Routh is a fan of himself!

Well, they have that in common, then.

That's interesting. I figured this investigation would be full of twists and turns!


"I'm in Afghanistan!"
SS, FBI and numerous agencies: "It sure looks like New Mexico"


"I'm in Iraq"
SS, FBI and numerous agencies: "Isn't that the Mohave Desert?"

How about..." I'm trying to arrange passports for fighters"

SS, FBI and other numerous agencies: " I didn't see that".... " Oh look, squirrel...."

I wonder how this man was able to travel to Ukraine, Hawaii, Florida, North Carolina and who knows where else without having any money. Was someone helping him?

Ryan Wesley Routh: What we know about suspect in Trump 'attempted assassination'

Authorities arrested a man identified by ABC News sources as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, relating to the "attempted assassination" of former President Donald Trump.

I think he was grifter. His posts were full of empty promises. He probably got locals to pay for his travel expenses.

Which locals? Ones in Hawaii? Or North Carolina? Or maybe Ukraine?

I don't, I think he was much more than that personally. It will be interesting to see his digital footprint and where he has been the last few years. I think he is very serious about his mission American posts Taiwan flag in Kyiv to honor Taiwanese soldiers in Ukraine | Taiwan News | Jun. 8, 2022 11:36

His mission yesterday was to kill President Trump. JMO

I'm not sure locals thought much of him. He most likely attracted, through his posts, a bigger person to pay for his travel expenses. He was an easy patsy, advertising himself, who knows who he attracted. MOO

Ukraine...or even in the US...It's MOO

I fundamentally agree.

The only thing that could have been done better was to me more pro active in following up on the car that was parked in the area for 12 hours that likely did not belong to a resident.

The surrounding area is evidently high income. Though cars parked curbside for 12 hours are common in high income areas of say, LA, NYC, SF, DC etc. they maybe pretty rare in that particular Florida neighborhood.

I heard, but don't know if it's a fact, that he parked his car at the post office.

The humble post office parking lot.....There's always some car parked there.
Back in the day, they had foggy windows.

Its right across the street from the golf club on Summit and it's right across the street from where he was waiting in ambush. It makes sense..duh... (eastern part)

I had pictured him parking in a neighborhood, but it seemed to far for a getaway.

Just MOO.....

If i am reading this correctly...

Trump... as a member of a unique demographic...
should curtail his activities (even though in legal and cordoned off areas...so as to not be attacked by mean-spirited people having no moral compasses...

Therefore... me... as a woman who is an avid walker ... as a member of a unique demographic...in my otherwise safe neighborhood... should curtail my walking/hiking activities around certain subjective parameters of time so as not to be attacked by mean-spirited people with no moral compasses...

Sooooo... if I continue to walk...even though following various societally acceptable safety precautions...
I should be held accountable should I be attacked?

Hmmm...

Yes, it's called blaming the victim.

Trump is not a member of a unique demographic. He knew what running for president entailed when he signed up to do it for the third time. It was 100% his choice and he could have retired like nearly every other former president.

President Trump is a member of a unique demographic. There have only been 46 U.S. presidents, he is one of the few U.S.presidents that is running for a second term as a non-incumbent president, and he is the first U.S. president to have an assassination attempt on his life in the last 40 years, never mind two such attempts. Sounds like a unique demographic to me.

The first part of this is certainly accurate.

I’m not sure what you’re saying in the second part? He’s certainly not the first U.S. president to have an “assassination attempt on his life.”

Reagan was shot on March 30,1981. I was pregnant and watched it on TV and never forgot it.

Gerald Ford had TWO assassination attempts on his life, both times by women.

Teddy Roosevelt was shot and lived because he had his speech in his breast pocket.

Andrew Jackson was the first president to survive an assassination attempt.

Obviously there were the actual assassinations of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and JFK.

Trump is the first president to be injured since Reagan.

Lots of plots and attempts.
Some of them were overseas.
Some of them involved ricin and pipe bombs.
The WH was shot at when Obama was president.

Sounds to me that RR vehemently disagreed with President Trump's foreign policy position of wanting to negotiate an end to the Ukraine-Russian war. RR was obsessed with Ukraine and would likely have a hard time with any negotiation that could result in any benefit to both sides.

It's also interesting that RR's behavior in Ukraine so concerned another American volunteer that she reported him to the FBI for concerns she had about him while she was in Ukraine and had dealings with him.

A French man who traveled to Ukraine intending to fight said Routh helped secure him a spot in a Ukrainian army unit. However, he recalled the American voicing bitter anger at Trump when they met him over beers in Kyiv in 2022.

“Ryan was very upset about the fact that Trump was trying to negotiate a deal with Putin instead of trying to really have Ukraine’s back,” said the man, who asked not to be identified.

I believe the OP stated he is ONE of a few Americans who hold unique qualifications and situations...

Quickly counting the above instances given in post above...
I count approx. 15 individuals with similar "qualifications"...
Let's be generous and double that number... 30...

Now... if we take into consideration there are 333.3 million people in the USA (per 2022... i googled)....

then the ratio would be 30:333.3 million....

Hmmm...

Sounds like a unique demographic if you ask me...

ALL... JMO...

I edited my post right after I posted it as I left out "in the last 40 years" while I was typing and only caught it when I saw it posted and proofread it.
