Routh seems like 'someone who is constantly trying to poke somebody and see what their response is going to be,' says former FBI agent Scott Duffey
A former FBI agent told Fox News Digital that there was "a clear mental illness component" that motivated would-be assassin Ryan Routh to take aim at former President Donald Trump on Sept. 15.
Before he was charged with two gun-related crimes in a Florida court on Monday, Routh, 58, had more than a hundred interactions with police between the 1980s and 2010.
His prior charges range from writing bad checks to felony firearms possession, possession of a stolen vehicle and multiple counts of possession of a weapon of mass destruction in 2002 — specifically, a "binary explosive with a 10-in[ch] detonation cord and a blasting cap."
Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Scott Duffey told Fox News Digital that Routh's frequent run-ins with police, combined with his social media persona, were indicative of "someone who is constantly trying to poke somebody and see what their response is going to be."
"It's not only a lengthy criminal arrest record, but for several decades," Duffey said. "You have this escalation of violent acts, and then, of course, other contacts with police like driving without a license. Those are not violent acts, but they are constant contacts with police. That tells me that over the past few decades, whatever was going through his head, he wanted to be in contact with law enforcement."

And yet...he was allowed to fly in from Hawaii, an 11 hour flight (or more with layovers). Nobody noticed this felon?

JESSE WATTERS: The more we look into Ryan Routh’s history, the stranger it gets 3 MIN VIDEO
...and he never served a day in jail. Hmm...makes one wonder what 3-letter agency was springing him from his “escapades”?
How many more of these types are out there? On the radar but freely moving until something truly heinous happens.
MKULtra?
Who gets to serve no jail for possession of a bomb with fuse and blasting cap and an unregistered machine gun? Ans with a previous record of stuff as well? Probation only? WTF?
Funny how a POS like this isn’t on a “no fly” list and Tulsi Gabbard is.
Yes. EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Cat and mouse??
More like Dumb & Dumber...
BTTT
Do you know any particulars about his movements?
I have not seen any specific flights reported.
He was in North Carolina in May of 2024. I do not know if he was in Hawaii since May of this year.
Was he ever incarcerated????
Sounds like borderline personality disorder.
” a clear mental illness component”? That can be said about most Democrats.
And yet the lengthy criminal record never got him one day in prison. Can you say CIA asset?
Sounds like a Ukrainian assassin to me.
“no jail”
Routh must have something serious on a three-letter agency.
The three-letter agencies want dedicated leftists, not total nutcases.
not to worry
tds veltri is in charge of the investigation
stay tuned for
routh did not kill himself
