Failed assassin Ryan Routh was in federal court yesterday, in a hearing quite logically called the “first appearance.” Fox covered the story under the headline, “Trump assassination attempt suspect laughs, smiles during first court appearance in Florida.” Routh was apparently cracking jokes with his public defender, which sounds annoying but could just be his way of managing anxiety.
Details were sparsely provided, but this most interesting paragraph leaped out:
Right away, we see some problems. For Portlanders, Routh claimed an annual income of $36,000 — far below the poverty level. Which means there is a lot of mysterious money floating around world-traveling Mr. Routh.
Here are only a few of the many possible questions: how did Routh afford international travel to and from Ukraine? Or to buy guns, body armor, and GoPro cameras? Who owns the Nissan truck he tried to escape in? Did he rent it? If so, with what money and what credit? How did Routh get to Florida? Where was he staying? How was he paying for stuff? Cash? Credit?
How did flat-broke Routh get in front of nearly every corporate media camera and reporter in 2022, from Newsweek to the New York Times?
Routh has an extensive low-level criminal record going back decades, including felony weapons violations. How did he buy the gun he brought to Trump’s golf course? According to the FBI’s criminal affidavit, it was a military SKS-style assault rifle made in former Soviet bloc countries, so it wasn’t from around here. The rifle’s serial number was "obliterated" and unreadable to the naked eye.
Why obliterate the serial number? Who is Routh trying to protect? Who gave him that gun?
We’re not the only ones asking questions. Martin County Sheriff Will Snyder, whose officers arrested Routh, gave a courageous —even reckless— press conference yesterday during which he said the quiet part out loud.
At yesterday’s Martin County press conference about the arrest, Sheriff Snyder wondered whether Routh could be part of a conspiracy:
“He was smart, he was just driving with the flow of traffic. He may have thought he got away with it. He couldn’t have known a witness took a picture.It’s a literal conspiracy theory! And Sheriff Snyder’s question was a good one. But, to expand on his theory: was Routh connected in any way to any U.S. security state agency or NGO? To any Ukrainian security or intelligence agency?He’s not from this area. Which raises the bigger question, how does a guy get all the way to Trump International, realize the former President is golfing, and is able to get a rifle into that vicinity?
Is this guy part of a conspiracy? Or a lone gunman? If he’s part of a conspiracy, then this whole thing takes on a really ominous tone.”
Where has that skinny hedge-hider been hanging out recently? And with whom?

I’ll bet Schwartz Gyorgy is paying Ryan.
The question, in part, was:
“was Routh connected in any way to any U.S. security state agency or NGO?”
My thought: I bet the answer is yes and that (follow the money!) SorozNazi or any of his 1,069 front organizations supplies the $$$
Ryan knows enough to expose everyone involved.
Ryan hours are numbered.
Barring that, his handlers hours are numbered.
Compartmentalization. Threat elimination.
Firewall.
What? Maybe for a family of 4, but a single guy?
I have heard others say that this has an Oswald feel to it. I agree, it does. I bet he gets the Oswald treatment to silence him.
A side note “He partially supports his 25 y/o son..”
Does he, now? Why doesn’t his son support himself? He’s an adult. That same son who said he can’t imaging his Dad doing anything at all violent.
Wonder if Jr. has been also receiving some money from these very generous, though unnamed sources? Is that what the wannabe shooter meant by ‘supporting his son’?
In Hawaii ? I hear paradise is pretty expensive, 36k would not be much.
Well to be fair, one can afford a few things in life if one is really motivated to do them. A defense attorney would cost at least $600 per hour. So you might be able to take a flight for $600 but can’t spent $6000 (much more when you include associates, paralegals, copying fees, court costs etc) a day on legal fees.
But these are all good questions. Whose car was it? Who bought the weapon? Who bought the GoPro camera? Who paid for the airfare? I wonder whether he has some kind of Ukraine slush fund either from open donations or some other source.
Could it have been Chinese? Like the country isn’t flooded with those...

According to law enforcement, Routh was no more than 500 yards away from Trump and was hiding in shrubbery when he pointed his rifle, reportedly an AK-47, at the former president. He then darted out of the bushes and escaped in a black vehicle, but he was arrested in Martin County.
Make no mistake: this assassination attempt was directly correlated to the violent rhetoric Democrats have used against Trump for almost a decade, as the Trump campaign pointed out in a press release this afternoon.
Laundered ukraine money from the US taxpayers.
I believe he’s said that Ukraine was. “very generous” to him. Maybe some of those tax $$$ sent to them being funneled back through who-knows-what kind of network.
36,000 - is that claimed taxable income?
Roofer —> cash work?
If he dies in next month, we’ll know it’s a real conspiracy.

You can bet our “Inflation Reduction Act” paid for that. Just follow the money.
Do they still own/operate that micro-housing business/charity in HI? Seems like an opportunity for “donations” to accrue.
Lots of questions. I’ll be interested in the answers as they learn more.
The USSS is compromised
