We are the non-pretending audience that doesn’t need to have the points of continual similarity pointed out. However, there is something rather remarkable about those in Washington DC who never seem to be able to connect the same proverbial dots.
In the latest development of attempted President Trump assassin Ryan Routh, the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI are now admitting that Routh was on a watch list of Americans who traveled to fight with Ukraine. The people on the watch list were supposed to be scrutinized and tracked when they reentered the USA. However, Ryan Routh, “fell through the cracks,” thereby giving him space and opportunity to carry out his long-planned assassination attempt against President Trump.
The revelation itself is not a surprise. There is a consistent pattern of names registered with the FBI as potential threats to the homeland who “fall through the cracks,” including the Tsarnaev brothers (Boston Marathon), Tashfeen Malik (San Bernardino terrorists) and Omar Mateen (Pulse nightclub). It is always the crack fallers who seemingly end up carrying out their endeavors.
It’s likely the only reason DHS and the FBI are admitting to the almost fatal “mistake,” is because there is a document trail for Ryan Routh which will come to light as an outcome of DC’s “assassination review task force.” After all, Ryan Routh met with “someone” in Washington DC, when he was there advocating for intervention.
Someone was likely to discover that Routh was on a list of people supposed to be monitored, so DHS/FBI release the information to cloud any non-pretending suspicion upon them.
WASHINGTON DC – […] The Department of Homeland Security in 2022 launched an interagency effort to scrutinize Americans returning from Ukraine’s war zone. The previously unreported effort aimed to identify Americans who might turn violent upon their return, according to five people familiar with the plans.
Officials across DHS and the FBI began attempting to identify Americans in talks with Ukrainian authorities and analyzing intelligence about Americans headed home from the country. They also reviewed social media accounts for violent rhetoric. There is no evidence that Americans who fought with Ukraine’s military — which the U.S. government supports — have engaged in political violence upon their return. Many have died there fighting Russian invaders.
But Ryan Routh, the suspect who investigators say could have been waiting for the former president with a semi-automatic rifle for more than 11 hours near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, fell through the cracks.
One DHS official reportedly knew Routh traveled to Ukraine, though there’s no indication that the FBI ever investigated him upon his return and during his years-long and at times bombastic campaign to drum up support for Kyiv. It’s also unclear if federal law enforcement was aware he wrote a self-published book that appeared to call for Trump’s assassination. And on Sept. 15, he allegedly got within 500 yards of the former president before the Secret Service spotted him and opened fire. (read more)
As you take off your shoes and undergo extensive scrutiny as a result of the Patriot Act, the subsequently formed DHS and the TSA, it’s worth remembering, as initially sold, the creation of the DHS was specifically intended to stop domestic terror threats, ie. EXACTLY the activity that Ryan Routh was engaged in.
The justification to create the DHS and subsequent intrusive activity of the United States security apparatus, was to stop unstable and sketchy people from carrying out violence internally within the homeland. However, as many voices warned at the time, the mission of the agencies created by The Patriot Act, actualized with DHS and FBI conducting surveillance of parents at school board meetings, monitoring white men in the U.S. military, tracking pastors, preachers and Christian congregations, and registering law-abiding gun owners while the sketchy and unstable simply run amok.
Your sneakers and belt are a threat. Ryan Wesley Routh, eh notsomuch.
Sooner or later historians will admit, our current result is a feature, not a flaw, of the Patriot Act intent.
…”Top Men”
I’m gonna go out on a limb here but I’m guessing the state didn’t expect some bystander to film this guy as he was trying to get away.
Yeah….that was….how you say….unexpected.
License Plate # was called in
Fell through the cracks.
Ha!
It’s called a “sifting grate”.
It’s Crime Lifecycle Management with just in time totalitarian outcomes

Depends on your what was expected from the “monitoring”.
He did not “fall through the cracks”.
Plainly stated …. he was “monitored” just like ALL the past “monitored perpetrators” of tragedies on demand, to facilitate activation via psychological and/or physical triggering. The drugs are the common dominator.
As painful as it is, I find myself sympathizing with the FBI in this case. How many individuals are “on the FBI radar?” I don’t think it’s possible to keep a watch on all of them. Maybe all individuals in the geographical area where a rally is to take place, but if a guy is from out of town, how can everyone be watched? The FBI screws up plenty and a lot of their higher-ups are crap, but I’m not sure how they should play their radar game.
Respectfully, the FBI as with numerous other federal agencies are subject to an increased overreach into areas they were originally never intended to investigate or otherwise operate within. All federal powers are supposed to be narrowly defined and strictly limited. No federal agency is supposed to have general police powers as that is under the purview of the several states. Arresting Christians singing outside of abortion clinics and parents speaking out at school board meetings is not what any federal law enforcement agency should be involved in investigating-ever.
The basic problem forcing federal agencies into overreach is many politicians seeking ever more power and control over the rest of us. Hopefully, the new Trump presidency and administration as well as a cooperative Congress will sensibly remedy these transgressions.
Maybe.
Christians can be read more broadly as “any religion”. All I’m going to put to print on this subject.
An individual, obviously, can be a member of more than one group.
In this instance, I think it is irrelevant. This is a former President who already incurred an assassination attempt a short while ago. Beyond the sitting Prez and his immediate successors, one would think, in terms of resource allocation, the near victim receives priority.
There is some history to all of this. If my memory is correct, Clinton signed an EO that basically reduced SS protection for former Presidents to 10 years after leaving office. PDJT is inside that window however.
The FBI is obviously politically weaponized. Sad, back in the day I collaborated with some great FBI agents in the cyber domain.
“The FBI is obviously politically weaponized.”
Indeed they are. This news just proves the point.
“FBI Agent Leading Investigation into Second Assassination Attempt on President Trump Is a Toxic Loon Who Has a History of Anti-Trump Bias and Tried to Force US Veterans Out of the Bureau”
Excerpts:
Jeff Veltri, was the subject of an internal “retaliation investigation” for anti-Trump and anti-conservative bias, a whistleblower revealed last year.
Veltri was later promoted despite the allegations of his anti-conservative bias.
FBI whistleblowers stepped forward recently to tell Congress that Chris Wray’s FBI is now targeting agents based on their political beliefs. The whistleblowers allege that FBI brass is now harassing military veterans for being loyal to the US and fitting the profile of a Trump supporter.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/fbi-agent-leading-second-assassination-attempt-president-trump/
The house cleaning and disinfecting of all FBI bureaucrats and personnel from that organization will be a daunting taks for the new Trump Administration. If the rot in the FBI has spread to FBI agents in charge of key fireld offices then you can expect that the rot is far deeper than we imagine. As an agency of the executive branch my proposal is to disband and disintegrate the FBI as an organization. Transfer any required policing and investigatory powers to the US Marshalls Service and start from scratch. All we have left now to save our government from the rot and corruption infesting it is bold dynamic moves .
Need a cabinet-level position to assess & implement an Extreme Federalism policy. Start by removing unfunded fed mandates from the states. States that want to keep them can (as long as they’re not sucking up fed funds), but states that want to withdraw can do so.
This will bring great prosperity to red states, and get rid of the parasites sucking off of said states … They’ll move on to blue states and suck them dry.
Need to replace Baseline Budgeting with Zero-Based Budgeting, and severe penalties for Appropriations Committees & House members that fail to create a budget & pass it by Sept. 30th. Like NO PAY, and all campaign contributions held in an escrow abeyance account until a budget is passed. Outlaw CRs except for very stringent exceptions.
Just a start.
I agree to a certain extent I agree but I also see that the fbi has enough resources to monitor Christian S, people issuing txt the regime doesn’t like, instigating protests, etc.
maybe they could break a few agents from that and monitor a few more nuts out there.
The IRS uses AI now, there’s no question the FBI does too https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/irs-using-artificial-intelligence-ai-taxes/
“How many are on the fbi radar”
There are many other agencies that could assist them. As a small example, Homeland Security via TSA put Tulsi Gabbard on a domestic terror watchlist. Every flight she takes, she is followed and harassed by 5+ Air Marshalls. Why is she on that watchlist? Because she left the Democrat plantation and publicly announced her support for PDJT.
Maybe a few air marshals could be tasked with following Iranian hit squads coming into the country?
Naa, they’re all too busy following everyone who went through DC on J6.
They even had one air marshal following his own wife on her flight!
The insanity is mountainous.
See this story about how differently the FBI handled the Pakistani/Iranian hit-team arranger vs how they treated another terrorist. https://justthenews.com/government/security/weda-tale-two-alleged-terrorists-one-fbi-and-possible-double-standard
The guy arranging a hit on Trump was seemingly just ushered right through with the FBI clearing all obstacles from his path.
FBI is too busy chasing and investigating J6 participants.
Well, when you do stupid shit like putting every human who passed through the Washington DC metro area on January 6th on a terror watch list, is it any surprise you have too many people to watch? That watch list has businessmen, kids, people on vacation, essentially everyone. Words cannot express how stupid that is.
And yet they still refuse to release anyone on the Epstein Client List.
I guarantee you, if Donald Trump was on the list, he would have already died in a jail cell.
This is all anyone needs to know about the moral compass of the FBI, the CIA, DOJ and the rest of those perverts.
FYI there 3.3 million mentally insane people walking our streets daily…
I thought the Democrats had more registered voters than that.
I bet you a nickel that Routh’s boarding pass from his flight from Hawaii to the mainland was NOT marked with an “SSSS” (indicating special extra screening.) I bet when he went through TSA that nothing flagged when they scanned his ID. I bet nothing flagged when he rented a car or used a credit card.
The DHS has EXACTLY the types of tools they would need to keep miscreants like Routh on their radar. They just choose not to use them to detect actual security threats because they are too busy using those tools to persecute political opponents.
Oh, they have no excuse now, especially with AI which the government is more than gleeful to use with the IRS
https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/irs-using-artificial-intelligence-ai-taxes/
As you have traveled to Ukraine and Russia, I assume you are being tracked also?
Fell through the cracks…as he is literally standing for a photo in front of Congress and meeting with high profile people connected to all of the leftist regime. Hmmm…
He “fell through the cracks” because he is a radical Leftist and not a Patriot.
This guy was on the watch list of the FBI.
Ray Epps should be monitored for this reason.
Regarding REm they don’t monitor themselves.
Lee Harvey Oswald was another loser / moron who was enamored with another country, traveled there, returned to the US, was watched by the FBI and fell through the cracks.
Imagine that….
You have to understand…..it’s a really big Crack.
… ‘DHS and the FBI are admitting to the almost fatal “mistake,” is because there is a document trail for Ryan Routh…’
Can’t help but wonder if charges (filed against Rouths son) are conveniently timed and/or trumped up as a extra added layer of “ongoing investigation(s)” to the assassination attempt questioning….prohibiting exposure of contents from digital devices used by Ryan Routh and his DHS/FBI handlers?
The DoJ/FBI priorized persecuting every Republican grandma who came within a mile of the capitol on J6. How could they possibly have resources to “monitor” violent pro-war lunatics with giant arrest records?
The commitment of our government to protect us has “fallen through the cracks”. It’s almost like The Patriot Act was passed for another reason? /s
The assassination attempt was not a coincidence or an accident. Nothing in politics is coincidental.
The Patriot act is an in-your-face correctly labeled legislation that targets patriots. They laugh at us.
TIME OUT please.
Gateway Pundit is reporting that the FL shooter had President Trump’s schedule out thru Oct-2024!!
The link to Gateway Pundit’s article is below.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/florida-shooter-had-trumps-unknown-schedule-drew-hernandez/
Would someone PLEASE explain to me who the MOLE is inside the Trump campaign??
And I would also like to see a tie-in of the Biden/Harris team in this damned mess.
This whole thing wreaks & it is past time to air it all out & expose the traitorous bastards!!
Lawfare was not enough. Now Biden/Harris have declared “open season” on President Trump!!
When the fbi s not looking at the crack, it’s really easy to have someone fall through it.
Amazing how the FBI can perform at Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc but screw up where know terrorists are. Disband them, the Secret Service, DOJ, CIA and start over.
My suggestion is that there is no accountablity in the government. Therefore create three competing entities where there was one agency. Fund and expand the one of three agencies that performs best while allowing the other two to continue to exist to allow competition. If after ten years they do not perform shake them up and get new personnel and reform them.
But first institute the old PACE exams. Recruit the best and brightest, not by gender, pronouns, race and creed.
And fire all the DEI advocates, all of them.
Mayorkas should be hanged for treason
Feckless! Or, deliberate knowing the threat!
“Crack, crack, where’s the crack?”
“fell through the crack, wow, there must be a big pile”.
Humper Biden
SD- Mike Benz mentioned the Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) group that seems to be the rogue element not controlled by or overseen by any authority, who seems to had intervened in Routh getting through the hole in the system. HSI *is* there to create these holes through which they can enable activities they deem appropriate. It is believed that some of the unidentified people at Butler showing up on the scene after the attempt also belonged to (or were affiliated as contractors) HSI. Maybe worth looking into.
Seems the FIB (not a typo) have a lot of criminals slip through the cracks except those dangerous MAGA supremacists and 1/6 ERs who are much more violent then terrorists, murderers, rapists and serial killers.💁🏻♀️sarc off
He and Crooks studied their copies of Assassination For Dummies
Just another in a long list of “Known” Wolves.
You’d think the cracks would be full by now.
Can I be 10ft from the Routh?
The mistakes, coincidences, failures, and crack falling throughs mysteriously always benefits democrats.
And now for something completely not different.
Secret Service Agent Accused of Sexually Assaulting Harris Aide | RealClearPolitics
Not to worry, Tulsi Gabbard will not fall through the cracks!
Considering the FBI has been stonewalling the case that the State of Florida has been doing on the attempt, it is clear the FBI are the ones organizing the assassination attempts. They will not stop until Trump or they are gone. It is time to jail every last FBI employee, including the janitors, and keep them that way until each has been thoroughly investigated and cleared.
I expect they will be in holding cells at least as long as the J6 political prisoners.
watch listpotential threatsprospective patsies
list is always on file just in case they need it
I say the title to this article should have stated “conveniently fell through the cracks”…AGAIN!!!
The sooner people realize that the DOJ was never meant to protect citizens and was always intended to protect the government the better.
This is so insulting!!
Has anyone else noticed that there are many psychotic gunmen that we are finding out — after the fact — that the authorities knew about ahead of time but did NOTHING until it was too late!!
Omar Mateen’s father, Seddique Mateen, was an FBI informant, which some believe was the source for the FBI’s relaxed posture regarding Omar Mateen. In addition to his work with the FBI, Seddique Mateen was an asset of the State Department and was, at least once, photographed leaving an office inside the State Department headquarters in Washington, DC. Mateen was a Hillary Clinton supporter during the 2016 election, and was photographed in the crowd at one of her rallies shortly after the alleged Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting, allegedly committed by Omar Mateen.

The weekend of the Pulse nightclub event was also the weekend (June 12 and 13, 2016) during which CrowdStrike ended their first network security engagement with the Democratic National Committee. An exclusive interview conducted by the Washington Post’s Ellen Nakashima, at the DNC headquarters, included DNC officials Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Amy Dacey, along with CrowdStrike’s Dmitri Alperovich and Sean Henry, former FBI cybercrimes chief who ran CrowdStrike’s DNC engagement took place on June 13th, while the reporting of the Pulse shooting dominated the media.
I would say that considering the “massive incompetency of the Secret Service, the FBI and the CIA, their leadership should all be fired immediately, allowing The “Republican” House to Appoint new leadership in all of the above departments. The corruption in these departments resembles well set cement!
This does not surprise me at all of this long time corrupt gov and times we live in. Less than 50 days to go until DJT truly elected again! All will change for the better.
