Ok, stick with me here because this is about to get really weird…

Everyone and their mom has been talking all day long about how this Ryan Routh story doesn’t make any sense.

So many parts of it don’t make sense, but especially the question about how he knew to be there when it’s been widely reported that there wasn’t anything on President Trump’s calendar (public or otherwise) and in face it was a last-minute decision to golf in the first place!

That’s weird indeed, and we’re going to dig into that first, but that’s not even the REALLY weird part, which we’ll hit next.

We start with the report that it was a last minute decision to even play golf that day:

The obvious implication here is that there would have been no way to “plan ahead” and get in place if that were true.

Which will become abundantly clear why that’s a problem in just a minute…

It was also not on any schedule of any kind:

And yet….he was able to not only get there and get in place but bring all his gear?

How does that make sense?

There are only a few answers to this riddle, and none of them are good, especially the last option:

From the NY Post:

The alleged would-be assassin arrested for targeting Donald Trump while he golfed in Florida may have been given inside information about the former president’s schedule, according to an ex-FBI official who called the possibility “scary.”

Chris Swecker, a retired FBI assistant director, told Newsweek that the feds and other law enforcement will be probing how the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly appeared to know Trump would be at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday.

“The biggest question to answer is: ‘How did the would-be assassin know to be at that location at that time?’” said Swecker, who worked on FBI criminal investigations.

Speaker Johnson says Trump like ‘bulletproof George Washington’ after second failed assassination attempt

“There are only three possible answers: He guessed and got very lucky; he conducted surveillance on Trump and followed him to the golf course, or he had inside information about Trump’s schedule.”

He added: “The last answer is scary and has implications that another person was involved.”

Routh, of Hawaii, was nabbed after Secret Service agents stationed a few holes ahead of the 78-year-old former president noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

Watch more here:

Ok, so that’s all weird enough, right?

Now let’s advance the story and get to the MAJOR CONFLICT.

Because now we have an entirely different story coming from the FBI and Federal Prosecutors who allege the alleged, would-be assassin Routh was in place and waiting as early at 1:59am the night before according to cell phone records!

Obviously, someone is lying here.

We are NOT getting the full story, or even a coherent story!

Our very own JoshuaC broke this story just hours ago and has more details here:

MAJOR CONFLICT: Assassin In Position By 1:59am, Hidden In Darkness – PRIOR To “Last Minute” Golfing Decision!?

According to a recent FBI press briefing the would-be assassin who allegedly plotted to kill President Trump as he was golfing Sunday did not just happen upon Trump coincidentally.

PLEASE NOTE:  This information we are about to provide does NOT fit with the scenario we are being told — that the decision to golf was literally a last-minute decision — unless there are pieces of the puzzle that would MAKE it fit.

According to the FBI, Routh used the cover of darkness to sneak into a pre-planned position, where he waited for 12 long hours for Trump’s arrival… WHICH HAD NOT BEEN DECIDED, YET!?  Here’s the FBI briefing in question:

“Cellular data shows that the subject was in the vicinity of the golf course roughly 12 hours before the engagement with the United States Secret Service.” -FBI

So you’re telling me Ryan Routh is clairvoyant?  Because my logic tells me:

  1. They are either lying to us about the timeline, etc.
  2. Someone coordinated Ryan Routh’s position in advance based on a really intimate knowledge of President Trump’s LIKELY location the next day.

Either way, these pieces do not fit.  Somebody is lying, or hiding the truth.

Is anyone else concerned that Ryan Routh is going to end up “Epsteined” or “Oswalded” before any underlying truth can come out?  The folks who posted this are thinking the same thing I am:

According to Fox News, Routh pre-positioned himself in his sniper blind under the cover of darkness, and brought provisions to make sure he could stay in position for quite some time:

Federal prosecutors allege phone pings show him arriving at the tree line at 1:59 a.m. and fleeing around the same time dispatchers received reports of shots fired.

The agent opened fire, and a witness saw a male suspect, later identified as Routh, fleeing into a Nissan SUV and speeding away.

Deputies from both the Palm Beach and Martin County sheriff’s offices stopped the suspect vehicle, a black Nissan SUV, on Interstate 95, according to court documents.

Routh was the only person inside, and when asked if he knew why he was being pulled over, he allegedly “responded in the affirmative.”

At the golf course, police recovered a loaded SKS-style rifle, equipped with a scope and with the serial number removed. They also found two bags, one of which had food inside, and a digital video camera.

 

The Associated Press has some insight into the level of planning that may have gone into the plot, and some details about Routh’s answers in federal court today:

Underscoring the level of planning involved, Routh is believed to have been positioned at the tree line of the golf course from about 1:59 a.m. to 1:31 p.m. Sunday, according to an FBI affidavit that cites cellphone data. A digital camera, a loaded SKS-style rifle with a scope and a plastic bag containing food were recovered from the area where Routh had been standing, according to the affidavit.

Routh was ordered held after prosecutors argued that he was a flight risk, with additional hearings set for later this month.

He spoke in a soft voice as he answered perfunctory questions from a federal magistrate, saying 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. He also said that he has a 25-year-old son, whom he sometimes supports.

As I’ve been saying all day, the information coming out about this situation has been fast and furious (no pun intended).  But at every step of new information, the facts seem less and less like “facts”, to me.  How does a man who wants to kill President Trump just happen to pick exactly the right spot, on exactly the right day, in order to be in position for an assassination attempt — IN A LOCATION THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS NOT DECIDED TO BE IN, YET!?

That seems to be the million dollar question, to paraphrase the Sheriff of Martin County whose team it was that apprehended the suspect.

And quite frankly — I have far more questions than answers at this point.  But we’ll bring you updates as we have them.
