I suspect that as facts continue tumbling out, we will discover that Routh’s attempted murder operation was very skilled and very well organized. Among other talents, we already know the failed, broke, tiny-home contractor could: effortlessly raise money, get hold of foreign weapons with serial numbers filed off, buy fake passports in Pakistan, travel hither and thither, in and out of war zones, steal black Nissans, finagle stolen license plates for his stolen cars, build sniper’s nests, evade detection by Secret Service sweeps for over twelve hours, and so on, and so forth, and you get the idea.
Oh —haha!— I almost forgot. Silly me. In an exclusive Wall Street Journal story headlined “U.S. Authorities Were Warned About Suspected Trump Gunman”, the Journal casually mentioned that Routh worked with at least one ‘former’ CIA officer:
Lest we forget, in another limited-hangout story (never followed up on), the New York Times already told us how Ukraine was swarming with CIA agents, a dozen secret underground CIA bases, and a private army of Ukrainian saboteurs trained by CIA. Ukraine was (or is) practically the CIA’s world headquarters.
In fact, the CIA is so deep up Ukraine’s backside that one could robustly argue that the Russians aren’t fighting the Zelensky regime in Ukraine so much as they are fighting the CIA in Ukraine. As Joe Biden would say, not a joke.
Anyway, I won’t describe the Journal’s Routh story in detail since this topic is already running long. But believe me that it has all the hallmarks of a deep-state dump and a limited hangout. For just one example, the Journal somehow got hold of half a dozen people who worked with Routh in Ukraine, including the aforementioned former CIA officer, who all described the skinny ex-construction worker as sketchy, dangerous, and kind of crazy.
Now they tell us.
But … how did the Wall Street Journal so quickly round up all these Routh-connected sources to interview? It didn’t say. I guess there must be a hotline or something. 1-800-ROUTH-TIPS, maybe. Or they just called Langley, Virginia. But that is a side issue.
In addition to his many chameleon-like spy powers, like stealing cars and license plates and setting up sniper nests, Routh also somehow successfully made himself a ubiquitous propaganda mouthpiece for the Proxy War effort, and somehow managed to score interviews with all the major media platforms. It’s almost like Routh had a handler of some kind. And it was all very un-failure-like.
Definitely sketchy. Obviously dangerous. But more importantly, Routh clearly has skillz. With a ‘z’. Routh looks more like John Wick than a failed “fraudster” or a psychotic “whack job.”
I’m not saying it’s obvious somebody must have trained the walking scarecrow, just because he failed at everything evident in his public-facing life. The Journal even called it, “his tumultuous life full of failures and brushes with the law.” So okay, maybe, late in life, he finally stumbled across the one thing he’s good at: international assassin. He could have learned all that spooky spy stuff on YouTube. You never know.

Why wasn’t there a cop on that sidewalk?
The Palm Beach sheriff said they were not asked to provide support because Trump wasn't the current president. That means means the SS didn't want to pay for local resources.
He wasn’t even on the same No Fly list as Tulsi.

They were practically giving SKS away back in the 90s. My local gun shop had pallet loads. Since they were so common, it’s hopeless to speculate where he got it. I’ve seen reports (Jane’s) that as many as 15M were built. How many made it to the US???? No telling how many times that SKS has changed hands.
Author wasn’t trying to infer anything. He was throwing speghetti at the wall hoping to attract readers to his click bait.

Agreed but the author was implying that travel to Ukraine is so difficult only a spook with CIA/FBI or other intelligence agency could arrange it.
