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

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.

We don’t know whose asset he was, yet.

There are a lot of potential contenders.

He ran a “homeless charity” in Hawaii that was supposed to provide shelter solutions for them. That would be a potential source of funding. Not sure if the charity actually did what it was supposed to, or if it was just a front.

“Alleged assassin’s criminal record, foreign travel raise questions U.S. intel may be able to answer”

I doubt U.S. intel is going to answer anything.

If “intel” = CIA, no.

DHS is like the Eye of Sauron. They’ll be geolocating his movements via his cellphone, checking out what he did on the web, including the dark web, etc. Whether we will ever learn much of what they find is another question.

He will be probed in prison.

Perhaps fatally.

No need for the US to probe Routh, Zelensky had already probed him deeply, and the US Deep Swamp are intimately involved with Zelensky Probes.

The Dept. of Homeland Security seemed like a good idea after 9/11. sort of, but they quickly morphed into another Big Gov tool of selective enforcement or non-enforcement.

To be fair, Homeland Security didn’t see any problems with the Tsarnaev Bros, despite a warning from Russia.
