Rep. Matt Gaetz: DHS Knows Of 5 "Assassination Teams" Targeting Trump
Headline USA ^ | 09/19/2024 | Ken Silva

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., made the startling claim Thursday that there are at least five known assassination teams in the U.S. conspiring to assassinate Donald Trump.

Gaetz told Just the News and Breitbart that a senior Homeland Security official told him about the five assassination conspiracies before Sunday’s latest attempt on Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course.

“Three of them that we know are foreign in nature. Two of them we know are domestic in nature, and that calls for a force protection that we do not have around the former president right now,Gaetz said said, adding that DHS officials are “aware of this and were concerned that the Secret Service was not providing sufficient support.”

“Three of these teams are foreign-inspired, from my understanding - Iranians, Ukraine, Pakistan - and, you know, the work is obviously challenging to protect—protective detail, like a presidential campaign that is vigorous and out campaigning,” Gaetz said.

Matt Gaetz says the DHS knows of 5 assassination teams targeting President Trump, 3 of which are "inspired by other governments," 2 of which are domestic.

Gaetz didn’t go into detail about the alleged assassination teams.

Sunday’s would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, may have been the Ukrainian-inspired conspiracy he referred to. As has been widely documented, Routh went to Ukraine in 2022 and claimed to have helped recruit fighters for the country’s war against Russia.

Routh’s actions in Ukraine apparently disturbed his colleagues there. One of them, a nurse named Chelsea Walsh, reported him to Customs and Border Protection in June 2022.

Walsh again reported him to the FBI and Interpol last year, after she heard that was attempting to recruit Syrian refugees to fight in Ukraine.

“She filed an online report with the FBI and Interpol outlining her concerns about Routh and others, she said. Neither Customs nor the FBI followed up with her,” the WSJ reported earlier this week.

One of the other plots cited by Gaetz is likely related to the Pakistani man arrested on July 12 for allegedly trying to hire undercover FBI agents to assassinate Donald Trump.

Internal FBI documents leaked to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, earlier this month included new information about the Pakistani terrorist’s alleged Iranian handler, as well as his movements and interactions in the U.S.

Both Merchant and Routh have pled not guilty in their respective cases.

Five years ago I’d have laughed at this stuff. I’m not laughing now.

Who in our government is colluding and working with these teams? We need uncorrupted temas to deal with the assassins and their domestic co-conspirators.

“Who in our government is colluding and working with these teams? “

Who knew Trump was going golfing that day? Someone had to have told Routh where Trump was going to be that day. Someone had to have helped Crooks.

I guess they filed it with the redundancy department, and it fell down behind the filing cabinet. D'oh!

More than just one, also. The head of the SS who was forced to resign, she needs to be waterboarded to find out who she was sorking with and what agents went along with it. And who in the doj and fbi are in on it as well.

And how did the deputies of the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Department not see anything?

Routh was parked near the golf course for TWELVE hours!

While on patrol, didn’t they see a vehicle parked there in the dark? They didn’t think that was unusual, parked there for many hours in the middle of the night?

If I was a deputy on patrol, I would have assumed either criminal activity was going on or someone’s car had broken down. I would have investigated further. Why didn’t they?

Trump Team private undercover investigators are on it 24/7. I’d volunteer for duty but I’d probably appear too eager and blow my own cover.

Especially since the SS claims the perp was known to them.

"Known" = License plates, home address, phone, friends, work, travel history, habits...etc.

You are correct a car sitting right at the perimeter wouldve/shouldve been investigated. However there are parking lots and side streets all around the golf course with many cars sitting around.

Routh probably parked there and crossed into the thick bushes in middle of the night. The bushes are so thick and perimeter so long, theres no way to really secure it without building a wall it seems.

Many journalists who used this bush for photos were aware of the vulnerability. If Routh wasn’t sticking a rifle barrel through the bush, the secret service wouldve probably assumed hes a journalist and just waved to him during the sweep.

A Chinese national was arrested after multiple attempts to breach the security of Mar-a-Lago, the private club and residence of former President Donald Trump.

The suspect, Zijie Li, 38, of El Monte, California, claimed to possess documents implicating the Chinese government in a recent assassination attempt on Trump.

WPTV reported that Li first attempted to enter Mar-a-Lago on July 19, around 8 p.m., driving a Toyota Prius. Secret Service agents stopped him at the main gate.

Li alleged he had critical information connecting China to an assassination attempt on the former president and insisted on handing over the documents. However, the Secret Service informed him that he was trespassing and prohibited from leaving any materials....
