^^ The FBI is looking for a "Wiley Edward Coyote" in connection with the latest attempts. Last known address was in Arizona, and he has been linked to the "ACME" corporation.

Man charged in apparent Trump plot wrote 'This was an assassination attempt,' court filing Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was charged with two gun crimes after his Sept. 15 arrest and will appear in a Florida court on Monday.

he man charged in connection with an apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Florida this month dropped off a box at a person’s home that included a letter that declared, "This was an assassination attempt," a court document revealed Monday.

The note came to light in a U.S. District Court filing asking that Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, be held in pre-trial detention.

Law enforcement was contacted by a civilian on Sept. 18 who said that Routh had dropped off a box at his residence several months earlier, the filing said. The witness opened the box after learning of the Sept. 15 incident at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

In that box was ammunition, four phones and various letters.

One handwritten letter addressed to “The World” said: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you.”

The letter said in part: “He ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.”

Routh was arrested on Sept. 15 after a Secret Service agent moving ahead of Trump as he was golfing at Trump International spotted “the partially obscured face of a man” in the brush along the fence line and the barrel of a rifle “aimed directly at him.” The agent fired at Routh, who fled. He was spotted by a witness and was soon after arrested on Interstate 95.

Routh has since been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. He is due in court Monday.

The FBI searched Routh's Nissan Xterra and found six cellphones — one of which contained a Google search of how to travel from Palm Beach County to Mexico.

Cell site records from two of the phones revealed Routh had traveled from Greensboro, North Carolina, to West Palm Beach on Aug. 14, 2024.

Further, on “multiple days and times from Aug. 18, 2024, to Sept. 15, 2024, Routh’s cellphone accessed cell towers located near Trump International and the former president’s residence at Mar-a-Lago,” the filing said.

Also found in the vehicle were 12 pairs of gloves, a Hawaii driver’s license in Routh’s name, his passport and documents. One of the documents was a handwritten list of dates in August, September and October and venues where Trump had appeared or was expected to.

Agents also found a notebook with “dozens of pages” filled with names and phone numbers about Ukraine, discussions on how to join the fight on behalf of Ukraine and notes criticizing the Chinese and Russian governments.

The filing said law enforcement learned that the license plate on the Nissan Xterra was not registered to the vehicle, and two additional license plates were found in the car.

A search of the area where Routh had been hiding near the golf course led to the discovery of a rifle with a scope attached and obliterated serial number, an extended magazine and a backpack and reusable shopping bag that both contained plates “capable of stopping small arms fire.”

On the rifle, investigators found a latent fingerprint on a piece of tape attached to the firearm that preliminarily matched Routh.

NBC News observed heavy police presence and tape on Friday near a row of palm trees and bushes lining the golf course on Summit Boulevard. The area featured an opening in the bushes behind the palm trees, which is easily accessible from the public sidewalk. The gap had a view of the golf course and was large enough for someone to occupy.

I'll surmise that possibly DT isn't doing another debate at this point for another reason other than unfair moderation. As mentioned, t may be that he doesn't want to give her the excuse for not doing public events because she's doing debate prep, or that it really could only benefit her. It also may not fit in with the campaign strategy this late in the campaign, as he may be hitting the airwaves hard with negative ads and talking points, and doesn't want to give her great national broadcast to explain them away.

From the Foxnews.com article on the letter written by looneytoneytwo.

quote:
"This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job,"


Now, add additional charges:

Solicitation of murder
Conspiracy to commit murder
Terrorism
Conspiracy to commit terrorist attack
Attempted terrorist attack on fed.gov official

Why was this person storing the box?
Why wasn't he/she curious about the contents until after learning of the Sept. 15 incident?
How did Routh know, several months earlier, that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump failed?

Three to five hundred yards? More like three to five yards, if that. Dig the straps holding down the scope, and that custom eye shade.

Are those straps or just electrical tape?
Yeah, three to five yards is about right.

Well, after seeing way the scope was mounted on the rifle, at least that question is answered.

Apparently, Plan B was a bayonet charge.

Yup: More proof that he was recruited and equipped by the Deep State experts as a deadly agent to carry out their nefarious plan. No expense or effort will be spared. Roll Eyes

Although I’m unable to find it now, one actual YouTube authority opined based on the original very poor photo of the rifle where it was originally found that the scope was probably secured to the receiver with some sort of strap system as pictured. He said that was something often seen on the rifles in the Middle East.

Could the bolt even fully function with those straps? Guess the scope mounts were installed by someone who'd never heard of Loctite. Or had lost their screwdriver that day.
