Prosecutors request indefinite delay in trial for Trump assassination attempt suspect Ryan Routh

Federal prosecutors requested an indefinite delay Wednesday in scheduling the trial for Ryan Routh, the suspect in the second assassination attempt on former President Trump, citing an enormous amount of evidence gathered since his arrest.

In a filing on Wednesday, prosecutors asked Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon to officially designate Routh’s case as “complex.”

Prosecutors revealed the scope of the investigation, which spanned multiple states, involved hundreds of interviews and included hundreds of digital media for review.

“The government has worked diligently since September 15 to investigate the incident. Over the past two weeks, the United States has interviewed hundreds of witnesses,” the filing said. “It has also executed 13 search warrants in Florida, Hawaii, and North Carolina, and seized hundreds of items of evidence, including multiple electronic devices.”

Investigators claimed that they have more than 100 outstanding subpoena returns that are still pending, and they estimate that they have “thousands of videos to review” from the large volume of electronic devices seized.

“All videos, still images, text files, and audio files constitute approximately 4,000 terabytes (4 million gigabytes) of digital review to complete,” the filing said.

The filing noted that the FBI is continuing to conduct forensic tests on evidence, including ballistic testing, and fingerprint and DNA comparisons, saying that the evidence would likely include them preparing several expert witnesses to testify.

Due to the sheer amount of evidence collected, prosecutors asked Cannon for the trial to be delayed indefinitely to allow adequate time for parties to review the discovery and determine which motions need to be filed.

If the feds had him in their custody and could kill him, it would be simple.
But Florida is holding on to him so that a real investigation can be done. That makes things “complex”.

The shooter had a flourescent history a mile wide, and the FBI never saw it??????

Put him on trial for tresspass and attempted murder
We can scoop up all of his enablers in scores of RICO cases

So much for that right to a speedy trial thing. Just toss them in the clink until they die with no trial.

So in three weeks they’ve amassed 4,000 TB (4 PB) of information that is possibly evidence in the trial? Yet we still know nothing about the Crooks kid?

Until someone in jail kills him as planned. They are beside themselves because rhe woman in Fla followed this guy and his car and contacted the authorities. They were then stuck and had to pretend to be doing something. They were planning either for him to get away or be killed in a shoot out like Crooks. That’s my conspiracy theory anyway.

Makes sense, as their plan went south with him.

The problems are twofold:
1. The Sheriff caught him and didn’t realize he was supposed to be taken out when he ‘resisted’ arrest, so now you have a wildcard who just might have some things to say that the feds would rather not have disclosed.
2. The second problem is that the Sheriff released his name BEFORE the feds could lock-down his social media history - thereby making it impossible to label him as MAGA, or at least scrape his posting history.

It’s very dangerous to have him talking this close to the election.

I don’t understand the need for “ballistics testing”. He never fired a shot.
