Suspected Trump assassin flagged by U.S. during return from Ukraine, but Homeland refused probe
Just the News ^ | 9/17/24 | By Steven Richards and John Solomon

Posted on 09/17/2024 10:01:04 AM PDT by CFW

Ryan Routh, the suspected Donald Trump assassin, was interviewed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials when he returned from Ukraine last year and flagged for further investigation based on spontaneous comments he made to agents, but the Homeland Security Department declined to act, Just the News has confirmed.

The June 2023 encounter with Routh at the Honolulu airport is confirmed in U.S. border entry records reviewed by Just the News and is latest tale of missed law enforcement opportunities dating 2019 to stop or further investigation the alleged would-be assassin.

The memo stated that the Ukraine advocate was referred to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the lead investigative organ of the Homeland Security Department, but the division declined to pursue the matter.

“HSI was contacted and refused the case,” the interview memo stated.

Homeland Security officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

I suspect Routh had a handler. There was no need to investigate him. He is one of theirs.

We have 11+ million that we don’t know who they are that have entered the USA illegally over the last 3.5 years.

Seems they don’t care who’s here anymore.

They left him alone after finding out he’s a CIA asset.

I still think trumps an idiot for trusting the SS to keep him safe. If i had his money id ban the SS from being around me and my family and i would vett and hire my own security. And i would have done this after the first attempt.

Well, to be fair, he was a CIA asset. Not an agent, an asset...someone they could use and throw away at will.

I can’t wait until RFK Jr gets free rein to investigate the history of US assassinations. A lot of evil has been done.

Funny, Mayorkis has been hiding lately.

A James Earl Jones guy leaning over, pressing a red cancel button, and saying “I was never here”?

In the 1920s, the US Mail was facing armed robberies, particularly on trains. The Marines sent men to guard the mails and the robberies stopped immediately.

One USMC infantry platoon should do his security.

They would have patrolled that hedgerow straight off the bat.

Trump needs Marines, or since Biden would never agree, he should call Eric Prince and have him put together a Blackwater team.

Hell, in a perfect world we should wake up and see Mar-a- Lago surrounded by Hells Angels.

DHS flagged him to recruit him. No way this guy pulled this off without inside government help.

Yes sir. I was wondering about this $10,000 check to Mr. Clarence Berkshire.

Did a handler here put a “sacred” tag on him, thus eliminating him from any scrutiny because he was our asset instead?

Trump needs to review some Ukrainian drone combat footage and find a nice ranch to stay at until January 20th where he can help prepare campaign marketing material.

Many loony leftists with AR-15 clones have little to lose and they have been told by leading Democratic politicians like Biden and Harris that they need to “save democracy” from the guy who left the White House after a defeat marked by election fraud.

He reportedly lives in Hawaii earns 30K a year. How can he afford to travel all over the world unless he has outside support?

That’s what I want to know. We can barely even afford to go to Kroger and we bring in quite a bit more than that. LOL!

They probably wrote him off as just another crackpot who had gone to Ukraine looking for fame, fortune and hot babes, only to return home disappointed and more squirrelly than before.

Yeah, but if you return from a foreign country and they ask you whether you set foot on a farm while there, you better say “no”. Seriously, just say “ no”.

That’s what I believe as well. CIA/DOJ/FBI etc scan all the information available to them, even medical records, and choose who they recruit to be their patsy for any given operation. They then send someone to contact and befriend the person and before long they have them setting up a shooting den from which to take a shot at the President.

Usually, they dispose of them pretty quickly when caught. There was a couple of slip-ups in this assassination attempt that prevented them from doing so. Now, DeSantis is trying to keep the investigation in his juridiction.

They are going to have a hard time pushing “Routh off the Roof” or “Routh off the House” (according to how you pronounce his name) and hide all the info unless they can get him into their clutches.

DeSantis’ investigators need to find out who this guy has been in touch with over the past year or so. Does he have any new friends, etc. or recent contacts. Who has he kept in contact with that he met overseas? Who in what federal agency may have contacted him after he returned?
