Prior to their respective assassination attempts targeting Trump, Ryan Routh and Thomas Crooks had extraordinary proximity to U.S. Intelligence, demonstrated foreknowledge of Trump’s schedule and security, and acquired skills that intelligence agencies have a history of sharing with assets.
Routh and Crooks had forehand knowledge of security, other federal intelligence
Routh staked out Trump’s golf club for twelve hours, lying in wait behind bushes to ambush him during an unscheduled game of golf. Unfamiliar with the locale, Routh managed to give security the slip, bringing an AK-47-style rifle onto Trump’s golf course. Routh managed to give a U.S. Secret Service agent the slip again after being fired upon, losing his pursuer despite initially being only ten feet away from the agent (whose gunfire somehow missed Routh), escaping in his vehicle only to be caught later thanks to a witness who snapped a picture of his license plate. For the second time, it was not the Secret Service, but locals who caught the gunman.
Crooks’s plan also suggests that he was tipped off, specifically regarding the AGR building he would make his sniper nest. Cell phone data put Crooks near the Butler fairgrounds on July 7 for 20 minutes — likely recon on AGR. Crooks scoped out AGR for 70 minutes on July 13 at 11 A.M. He went home to buy a ladder and ammunition and to retrieve his gun. Crooks returned at 3:45 to the AGR building, carrying the ladder receipt in his pocket but lacking the ladder. Crooks clearly planned to scale the roof with the ladder, but the fact that he left it suggests that he had learned the local snipers’ positions at AGR and would have no trouble secretly scaling the roof using an unguarded roof access point.

Is it DHS, FBI or both doing the coordination?
DHS....FBI.....CIA......SS....ALL CORRUPT!!!!
This is what I suspect and worry about.
Still no evidence that Maxwell Yearick is alive.
Assumption not supported by the evidence. The things he considers as proof are easily explained by other means.
For example, it was known by photographers that pictures of Trump could be obtained from the West Palm Beach golf course. It was known Trump was in town. It was known he often played at that course. None of this was a state secret.
Similarly, Routh could have easily been more effective with just a little knowledge of fieldcraft, but he didn't bother.
The "gave a Secret Service agent the slip" fails to mention a significant fence in between them, and that the job of the agent was to protect Trump, not to pursue an unarmed suspect.
The dog and handler that sniffed out the parked bomb car on Long Island last week...were they fed, city, county?
The article says this jerk had an “AK-47-style rifle”. I’m trying to find out exactly what it is. One place said it was and SKS. Anyone know for sure what it was?
Good article. Thanks for posting. Lots of questions about them remain unanswered.
It is an SKS with an aftermarket stock, a 30 round magazine, and a telescopic sight.
I could not tell if the rifle was one of the variants made to take AK magazines or if the magazine was one of the 30 round aftermarket addons, which were made to take the place of the semi-fixed 10 round magazine.
I have not seen any information about what ammunition was there, if any.
Off-the-Books Assets?
They glow like Chernobyl.
I think it was a SKS modified to use AK47 magazines.
Agreed. I, like others, believe there’s a deep state conspiracy for Trump to be assassinated. Like you, I don’t believe it’s implemented by them hiring the killers. I think that the powers that be are creating holes in Trump’s security in the hopes that one of the Dim cult follower crazies get a shot at Trump.
Stop repeating the Blackrock thing. It is unsupported and makes our side look like nutjobs.
“Assumption not supported by the evidence.”
Do you have proof of that?
“For example, it was known by photographers that pictures of Trump could be obtained from the West Palm Beach golf course.”
But there were no photographers at the site at that time.
“It was known Trump was in town. It was known he often played at that course. None of this was a state secret.”
None of this was a state secret??? Little dramatic, don’t you think?
“Similarly, Routh could have easily been more effective with just a little knowledge of fieldcraft, but he didn’t bother.”
How do you know he didn’t bother?
And you just criticized the writer for speculating. Are you the only one qualified to speculate?
“The “gave a Secret Service agent the slip” fails to mention a significant fence in between them, and that the job of the agent was to protect Trump, not to pursue an unarmed suspect.”
First the Secret Service agent was only ten feet from the assassin. Second, the assassin was not unarmed, and who in their right mind would allow an assassin to flee unopposed? It was his job to pursue the assassin. He was not the only agent on site protecting Trump.
However, it is nice that we all have you and your piercing analytical abilities to watch out for us.
“to ambush him during an unscheduled game of golf.”
I think the guy who owns the course can play any time he decides to play. It’s not like the Secret Service and or local Sheriff calls the Pro Shop to see what tee times are available. On the other hand, if it’s fairly well-known to the public that Trump plays there just about every Sunday, then perhaps that could begin to explain the scale and scope of a window(s) of opportunity to observe him as he made his way around the course. Routh came in like paparazzi in the night, and he could have used a Google Earth or Earth Cam to help him decide on where to set up camp. Then again, the next conspiracy theory you hear could actually be the truth.
BTTT
Since the B team assassins failed, I’m afraid the next attempt will be an obvious state sponsored hit. Be it a drone swarm, roadside bomb, missile attack or whatever. They’ve set up the story of the Iranian threats as well as the five assassin teams already here. Plausible suspects to blame and investigate forever. Trump should at least stay indoors.
