Routh and Crooks had forehand knowledge of security, other federal intelligence

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.

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.

“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.

I’m conflicted. Knowing how much the three-letter agencies hate Trump, it makes sense they’d organize assassinations.

Then I ask, “Wouldn’t they tell an assassin hiding in golf course greenery, ‘Don’t wear a PINK shirt’?”
