Incuriouser And Incuriouser

But there's a few things that strike me as curiouser than they should be:

First up, the last-minute change in the Republican nominee's schedule. The alleged perp was outside the Trump International Golf Club for twelve hours, which was long enough to figure out the most vulnerable spot: the hole closest to the exterior fence.

And yet the golf game was not on the candidate's official schedule, and was a comparatively last-minute addition. So how did Mr Routh find out about it? The unusually long motorcade arriving at the club? No. The would-be killer was on site hours before Trump - from 1.59am on Sunday, apparently. How did he know his target would be headed his way? Per the Secret Service, at suddenly scheduled events such as yesterday's the security is more ad hoc and improvised than at, say, a rally in Pennsylvania, and therefore the candidate is potentially more vulnerable.

So again: How did the alleged perp know to case the joint at two in the morning?

Mark reports on a bunch of connections between the would be assassin, the deep-state, media in Ukraine and D.C. as well as an apt point when he recalls for us that one tower on fire might be an errant plane. The second tower hit by a plane means only one thing: the elites have decided they aren't going to allow Trump to take office a second time. May God continue to protect President Trump.

There is at least one insider, a traitor trying to fulfill “the mission.”

AT LEAST ONE. And/Or supposedly-secure communications are compromised.

This is painfully-obvious.

Mole.

Perp told arresting cops he only had $1k cash to his name. Got public defender. So how did he get to FL from HI, get his vehicle there and all his interesting assassination gear?

[Erik Latranyi]

Rough has given more media interviews than Harris.

[SaveFerris]

Magic!!!

[dadfly]

exactly. how does this guy afford all hobnobbing with all these elites in D.C. and Ukraine. and he lives in Hawaii and Carolina? he sure gets around. who was funding this guy?

[NetAddicted]

Since Routh was there for 12 hours, he might just have guessed Trump would show up. Seems more likely, if Routh lived in Florida.

Who knew Mr Witkoff's schedule for a $1000 please, Alex?

BBC reports:
It was hot and cloudy on Sunday afternoon when Trump and his good friend, real estate developer Steve Witkoff, arrived on the course of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

After Previous arrests, Routh smiled for his Mugshots.

He knew he was going to be let off with Probation.

Good to post. One more street to explore.

[dadfly]

so the staff, SS and leos miss a just guy hanging around Trump National for 12 hours. oh boy.

[dadfly]

good point. hopefully it’s being investigated.

There is at least one insider, a traitor trying to fulfill “the mission.”

After Butler, Trump should have ditched SS protection and gotten his own private security (like Nixon did). Hopefully, he and his staff will wise up. It's painfully obvious that the secret service is too dangerous for him.

One would think the SS would scour the course using IR thermal imagers on terrestrial vehicles and on drones to look for lurking people.

Sometimes thermal imaging even helps the good guys. "The FBI's utilization of thermal aerial surveillance video played a pivotal role in validating Kyle Rittenhouse's self-defense claim. This technology accurately depicted Rittenhouse's actions, debunking erroneous allegations which claimed Rittenhouse chased down his attackers. Aerial thermal imaging, which showed a wider field of view and a more complete picture than the viral cellphone footage, proved Rittenhouse retreated from an angry mob before being forced to defend himself."

I heard today (on Fox, I believe) that he also had a residence in North Carolina...

[mbrfl]

I’m wondering if some of the local traffic cams picked up on when he arrived.

[AndyJackson]

Pretty clear he is operating with official cover - a nutball carpenter who just happens to find himself in the company of reporters, congressmen and international diplomats and dictators.

[Fungi]

Bongono covered a lot of these points. Somebody wants Trump.....

[mbrfl]

And don’t forget Hannity and Limpsey Graham were also invited but couldn’t make it.
