SOOOOOO many good unanswered-so-far questions about this guy.

1. Minimal income, yet global traveler. Whose money?
2. On ‘the List’ but not watched, like at all. Feebs blew off a tip they guy had a firearm illegally. Whose job is it to watch those on the list?
3. Guy flew to FL from HI. That flight is real money. Best deal I saw on cheapflights.com for flight and hotel, 3 days was $622. Dude’s gotta eat too. Who paid for it? When did he reserve/buy the trip?
4. He had a car to drive in FL. Who owns the car? If a rental, when did he rent it? Who paid for the vehicle and the gas in it?
5. How’d he get the intel on where to post up at the golf course?
6. Dude flies to FL. Did he check a firearm on the flight and ammo? [scores of questions about his having a firearm]
6a. If he acquired the firearm in FL, who was the seller? Who paid for it?

Follow the money.
Follow his information trail.
Where’s it all lead?

Secret Service is supposed to sweep, post up and secure/hold the area PRIOR to ex-POTUS being on the property. Even an “OTR” [off the record] event has time for that at a golf course that is a regular destination for DJT. Why wasn’t that done? Who was responsible?

Just like always, the whole thing stinks.

One report yesterday showed that he has been arrested 74 times, but never has spent a day in jail. He must have friends in high places.

Homeland - also known as Dingbats R Us - might not be able to ask the questions you're asking, but they sure as hell will be looking YOU up and placing YOU on their terror suspect list.

“Guy flew to FL from HI.”

He flew to NC from HI, where his daughter lives, and where he used to live.

“He had a car to drive in FL. Who owns the car?”

It was his daughter’s (in NC) car, with stolen plates on it.

“If he acquired the firearm in FL, who was the seller?”

It probably was his own gun from long ago, since he lived there in NC for many years.

“How’d he get the intel on where to post up at the golf course?”

He may not have needed intel, but just put two and to together. Trump golfs at his courses all the time and it’s common knowledge. Just a matter of lying in wait in a convenient place and wait for PDJT to come by, which he will at some point in time. If he’d had specific intel, he probably wouldn’t have had to lurk for 12 hours — just be very prepared for the high sign, and set up quickly.

The guy was a sticky fingered self employed roofing contractor, who was most likely not accurately reporting his income. Money really isn’t an issue unless it can be proven his tax filings were accurate and he never had unreported income.

I suspect it might have been more the case of needing to set up his “nest” under the cover of darkness and low car / pedestrian traffic.

The only “global travel” I have seen reported for him is one trip to Ukraine. Have I missed mention of other travels?

4,5 add 6 are good questions.
Whose license plate was stolen and when might be worth knowing, although it is possible he just bought the plate from some other thief.

Interesting that Martin County is solidly Republican with the GOP controlling the county offices. On the other hand,Palm Beach County is Democrat run. It is a nice place to be sure, which is why Trump and the late Rush Limbaugh chose to live there, despite the leftist bias of the local authorities

Well, the FBI has a long history of “hiring” criminals to act as one of their “assets”.

Some here want to paint this guy as some sly Fox country boy, too slick for normies to grasp his McGyver skills. Loosey goosey is the term used. He leads a Loosey goosey lifestyle.
