Ryan Routh, the attempted assassin of President Trump on his golf course in West Palm, Florida, was found guilty on all counts after only three hours of jury deliberation.
We still want to know where the financing of unemployed Ryan Routh came from. The guy was traveling all around the world from Ukraine to Hawaii, and then eventually to Florida. His source of financing did not come out in trial and is supposedly still under investigation by the FBI.
DOJ Press Release – A federal jury today convicted Ryan Wesley Routh, 59, of Hawaii, for attempting to assassinate President Donald J. Trump when he was a major presidential candidate in a planned sniper attack at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“This verdict sends a clear message. An attempt to assassinate a presidential candidate is an attack on our Republic and on the rights of every citizen,” said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The Department of Justice will relentlessly pursue those who try to silence political voices, and no enemy, foreign or domestic, will ever silence the will of the American people. I want to thank and congratulate the trial team and our law enforcement partners for their outstanding work and dedication in bringing this case to justice.”
“Ryan Routh’s attempted assassination of President Trump was a disgusting act — mere weeks before an election and only months after a separate assassination attempt came dangerously close to succeeding,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “FBI teams worked quickly and diligently with local partners and the Department of Justice to demonstrate a clear fact pattern of Routh’s planning and intent, and we are grateful to see a quick resolution. The FBI will continue working aggressively to take violent offenders off American streets and protect public officials from threats of all nature.”
“Today’s jury verdict delivers justice. What Routh did was objectively evil — an attempt not only to take a life, but to rob Americans of their right to vote and to silence free speech. This was nothing less than an attempted assassination of both a man and the democratic voice he represented,” said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida. “We have seen over the past decade how political violence — from the assassination of Charlie Kirk to threats meant to silence conservative voices — has poisoned our public square. Such violence is un-American. It is an assault on every one of us, no matter our politics. The Southern District of Florida will relentlessly pursue those who try to steal our freedoms, and we will ensure that the rule of law — not fear, not violence — prevails.”
According to the evidence presented at trial, then-U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Robert Fercano – who was patrolling one hole ahead of the president at the golf course – spotted Routh pointing an AK-style rifle at Special Agent Fercano from a sniper’s hide in the fence abutting the golf course. Agent Fercano, in fear for his life and the life of President Trump, opened fire at Routh, who fled. Law enforcement subsequently found a loaded SKS-style rifle equipped with a scope, a magazine containing an additional nineteen rounds of ammunition and the safety off, steel armor plates, and a camera attached to the fence pointing toward the sixth hole green of the golf course, where Routh had been hiding: (read more)
Well, one less moron to worry about..
Oh, and say hi to Bubba – your new room-mate!
I could envision that conversation…. probably would go something like “The soap. Pick it up.” Then
*ear shattering scream
For at least 40 odd years (John Hinckley)..
It is my understanding many convicts are now Pro Trump because of the First Step Act so if this sheep dipped tweeker is put in General Population he won’t last long.
I guess an Azov Bootlicker would be right at home serving Life in Protective Custody with the rapists, child molesters, vulnerable queers, trannies and rat snitch punks.
I want to know the sentence before I close this case.
Then he tried to stab himself in the neck in the courtroom with a pen.
We are up against very sick people.
JUST IN: Ryan Routh appeared to try and stab himself in the neck with a pen after hearing his guilty verdict, eyewitnesses say.
<Ryan Routh appeared to try and stab himself in the neck with a pen after hearing his guilty verdict…>
He should have used a quill instead of a ball point…
Because where there’s a quill…There’s a way 🙂
😃
That there is a classic! LOL
If only he had a semi automaticpen, assault type autopen, available.
Nicely played, WORDMAN. Nice played!
But…we all know that it’s then pen which is the violent evil thing.
Glad they didn’t have a multiple-pen holding magazine laying on the table in front of him..
Dang.
Everyone knows the pen is mightier than the sword.
Routh was merely testing that fact.
Per reports, it sounds like he was all over the board with off the wall remarks (e.g. he was a good parent). The jury got an eyeful and decided – forget politics and who they voted for – they just didn’t want this guy as a neighbor or loose in the community.
His sick interpretation of “The pen is mightier than the sword”.
Maybe he’s trying to get the Hinckley treatment.
Sirhan Sirhan looks happy..
A good parent..mmmmhmm, his son was in possession of CP.
Probably just a lame ploy to get thrown into a psych ward instead of general population.
Maybe, he’s trying to act crazy before sentencing.
Malingering buffoon.
0.o
Maybe he’ll get a sex change operation
Which was would it go? He appears jerked over already.
I shoulda scrolled..
Then again, maybe he’s not acting. Somebody facilitated all of his travels. Can’t imagine who.
Watched too many James Bond movies.
How on earth was he able to smuggle in a sharp object like a pen? We’re truly living in a clown world…
Pens and legal pads are on counsel table – standard.
And he’s the counsel.
There ought to be a law to have such dangerous weapons within reach of convicts like that…./s
After this, maybe replaced with crayons.
Yeah, made me remember the old movie Midnight Run with Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro, only is was with an F’ing pencil.
“The pen in the neck” attempt was also in an episode of Major Crimes. That guy didn’t kill himself, either. 🤣
Truly, we are up against demonic forces. These times require genuine spiritual, “weapons”—repentance, prayer, fasting, and sacrifice!
I’m mystified as to why anyone would stop him. If that’s heartless, so be it.
He is no John Wick. He can’t even kill himself with a pen, let alone 3 people…oops, my bad – that’s a pencil.
Possessed, not sick.
This is a relief. I always worry there are so many people with TDS that they are willing to allow assassination or attempts with impunity.
Thanks for the post Sundance.
Luckily a court in Florida. In DC, I would guess not guilty.
Is that Canadian would be assassin still out there? She was let go. Imagine if she has succeeded, would we have been at war with Canada under Biden? Doubtful.
“His source of financing did not come out in trial and is supposedly still under investigation by the FBI.”
Well that makes me feel better. I’m confident that the “honorable rank and file” of the FBI, under the superb leadership of Kash the Klown, will have all of the answers any day now.
And then pigs will fly.
“Supposedly” being the key word…. maybe put the secret service on it….
The FBI won’t investigate the funding sources because it traces back to the FBI.
Biden’s FBI. BE clear, dearie.
How has the FBI changed since Biden? The rank and vile are still there as far as I know. Only change has been the clown Kash Patel and his emotional sidekick, Bongino.
Right
This would be a simple task for a competent investigative agency with the resources of the FBI. We don’t know on purpose.
The new Secret Service branch seems to be more competent. And loyal, hopefully.
Wasn’t he recruiting for 🇺🇦 ? Wonder if he had the same CIA handler as Thomas Crooks?
And rest assured that Li’l Sean Hannity will report that news as soon as “credible sources in the honorable rank and file” leak it to him.
The source of the funding investigates the source of the funding and finds it was USAID.
No death penalty for moron? They should just let him use the pen. Another useless eater being spared. s/
I’m sure he will be subject to some choice meat meals from exotic backgrounds once he becomes welcomed in prison.
Are you implying………
We need more answers.
Crazy coward need take away from this society,
Who paid him to travel and attempt to kill Trump. Who or whom?
It was planned. By who or whom?
We are suppose to believe the doj and secret service don’t know? 🦨
A: Same as this: President Trump Holds a Bilateral Meeting with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy – The Last Refuge
I forget–was he dating a furry or did he appear in a BlackRock commercial while practicing at Homeland’s favorite gun range?
So hard to keep track.
I think he was recruiting jihadists for Ukraine but who can keep up with it all. Now that we are back on Ukraine as the suffering victim on the verge of a comeback victory, maybe we can send him back there rather than jail.
He’ll be dating a furry soon enough.
He was the one with a close family member subsequently arrested for possession of CP.
Oh, I guess that doesn’t really narrow it down.
Robinson was the homicidal maniac dating an insane person, whether he be transgender or trans species.
This is yet another one. Why don’t these radical extremists stand up straight, with shoulders back and in a deep and commanding voice, plead guilty to their evil deeds? Isn’t he proud of attempting to take a human life? If not, why not?
Instead, this worm pleads not guilty and then uses weasel words to try and convince us that just because he was waiting on the next green with a loaded rifle, that’s no indication, whatsoever, of his intention to murder DJT, his protective detail and any other innocents who may also have been in the area.
I say, stand up proudly and own being a scumbag!
These leftard douche nozzles can dish it out, but are too scared to take any incoming fire.
Its amazing sometimes just how quickly the feds can investigate some things and how slowly other investigations move
Sept. 15th 2024, a witness observed rou th at or near golf course with a tool.
Sept. 23rd, 2025, a jury finds guilty
Approx. 1 year.
(The sentencing is pending)
The funding source was not needed to convict rou th.
But, the funding source(s) ( likely laundered ) could be helpful in determining an accomplice, and / or motivation.
[ and an alive rou th could chirp… and the funder($) may not like that risk… ]
p.s.
regarding the relative speedy criminal proceeding:
There are legal cases involving the 2020 election still pending…
( and there could be 4 years + of harms associated the supposed outcome )
There are legal civil cases involving vehicles, insurance and 2 drivers, that take 3 years – with no proven physical harm ( but, maybe a complaint ).
imho
How about the Taiwan Foreign Legion angle? Last I checked, the website was still up with Routh still listed on website!? Where did the funding come from? We all know the answer to that one.
Apparently Routh tried to stab himself in the neck after the verdict was read. He failed.
For those keeping score at home, that makes Routh 0-2 in “Attempted Killings.”
Now find out who paid him for such shoddy work.
Which is why he tried to iff himself.
Use enhanced techniques to find out who his co conspirators are.
“His financing is still under investigation by the FBI”. HILARIOUS. And sad. Burn down the FBI.
He learned that you shouldn’t represent yourself in a criminal trial. Or maybe he didn’t learn. He is enough of a nut to think he is the greatest defense attorney on the planet and to think it’s a sure thing he will win on appeal.
Believe there is a state charges trial coming, not sure.
The financing probably came from the fbi.
Maybe those fight for the Ukie’s videos?
Who and how long until the first lawyer files the appeal or ask for a new trial due to him representing himself?
3,2,1.
i bet he was shocked to the core. havent seen the dems explode yet, thank God he got a good Judge
Just gonna put it out there; Ryan Routh didn’t kill himself.
Fear not. Krash Patel is on the who funded him case.
The owner of the Minnesota Twins is a criminal who long has had the FBI, stationed in Duluth, on his payroll, taking care of business for him, in cash, throughout the state. With Patel in charge, he could not be more safe.
Did you mean Inspector Closeau?
“His source of financing did not come out in trial and is supposedly still under investigation by the FBI.”
January 2, 2026 – Press Conference with Patel and Dan Bongino
Reporter #1: “Who funded this Ryan Routh Guy?”
Patel: “We can not comment – it is under continuing investigation.”
Reporter #2: “How about JFK”
Patel: “We can not comment – it is under continuing investigation.”
Reporter #3: “Abraham Lincoln?”
Patel: “We can not comment – it is under continuing investigation.”
Reporter: OK – “How about Julius Caesar?”
Patel: ” I can not comment on anything as all things are under continuing investigation.”
Saw that as well. Sounded exactly like Dem FIB. (Wray) Disappointing, even if being a gotcha ? from a libtard. Comey & Wray need to testify under oath where they can’t lawfully hide behind the moronic “continuing investigation’’ bovine excrement.
Reporter: OK – “What about Abel?”
Patel: “Am I my FBI’s keeper?”
Well done.
[We still want to know where the financing of unemployed Ryan Routh came from]……………………………….. [His source of financing did not come out in trial and is supposedly still under investigation by the FBI.]
His source of financing did not come out in trial and is supposedly still
under investigationbeing suppressed by the FBI.USAID is always a possibility to the question “who is funding the bad guy?”.
Also, Rowe stated that the golf outing was off schedule. How did Routh know where and when President Trump would be?
This clown tried to commit suicide after pronouncement of the sentence – he screwed that up, too.
Lots of mirrors in the verbose press release. The Swamp doing its thing.
Gimmee a break, don’t know the source of $… Tell the FIB it grows on trees
“The pen is mightier than the sword.” Not apparently, in the hands of this moron.
Failed assassination attempt on POTUS. ✔️
Failed attempt at defending himself in court. ✔️
Failed suicide attempt. ✔️
He did accomplish one thing. Waste the time and money of his handlers. Who cares about this asshat?
It’s who’s behind him that matters.
Easy enough for Big Money to finance him and an army of patsies just like him. It seems to be a favorite strategy for them, and most likely cheap and nicely obfuscatory. If the bozo of the moment doesn’t succeed, there are any number of nutty nobodies waiting to have their moment in the spotlight. ‘Talent’ at that level is fungible.
The FBI could have easily provided this information already.
They just don’t want to admit it was their financing.
SO glad for the rapid conviction. Guilt was obvious. Sorry we have to feed him for life.
Did anyone hear a peep about this trial in the media including so called conservative media? Nope.
How about the assassination attempt in Butler? Oh wait absolutely nothing about who funded and organized two assassination attempts against President Trump? Nothing just crickets.
Oh wait how about who funded and organized Charlie Kirk’s assassination? Still we go on like nothing happened. FBLies period.
Charlie Kirk was the only publicly known conservative who truly supported President Trump gets assassinated. TPUSA had many events with President Trump
Who else did?
MeAgain Kelly…nope
Tucker Carlson…nope
Graham Allen…nope
The Blaze…nope
The Daily Wire…nope
And the rest of them…nope.
Do we see a pattern here?
I apologize for my attitude but frankly I’m pissed.
When is the bloodshed going to stop?
A husband, father and grandfather, our President, President Trump was almost killed twice.
A 31 year old man, Charlie Kirk a husband, a father with two babies and he himself was so young was killed.
Are we going to pretend that these idiot evil (blank expletives) did this all by themselves?
No FIB mentioned 🤔
“This verdict sends a
clearmixed message. An attempt to assassinate a presidential candidate is an attack on our Republic and on the rights of every citizen,” said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, “However, we have no intentions of discovering the funding source of such assassins.” /sWhere did his financing come from? Our tax dollars is my guess
Trading freedom for the mating rituals in federal prison seems like an odd choice.
(redundant; deleted)
At the exact moment he performed the pen to the neck move, wasn’t he thinking: “well, ace, you’ve REALLY done it this time! Being nobody on the outside was way preferable to what’s coming down the pike at you now!
Was the Secret Service agent who fired and missed 6 shots at Routh found guilty as an accessory? 😉
“Today’s jury verdict delivers justice.”
Not yet. Not until EVERYONE involved in this plot is found and tried in a court of law.
“His source of financing did not come out in trial and is
supposedly still under investigationbeing covered up and memory-holed by the FBI.”There. Fixed it for you. And still no discussion of the Ukraine connection to the Butler attempt.
Good.
Oops…he thought he was going to get off scot-free.
His innocence had to be prearranged, nothing really had to be said to him out loud.
After all he’s a hero, doncha know everyone hates Trump.
Squeeze this insect till he pops….
His next mug shot is sure to have less smirk in it.
Now we have to feed, house, guardprovide and medical him for the rest of his worthless life.
The trial was designed to get the conviction without having to divulge even one bit of critical info …..we will never know anything about routh like we will never know about crooks in butler….all by design….Kash and bongino are totally worthless. Period!
Still waiting on Ms Bondi for trials for the Comey, Clapper etc crew concerning PDJT’s pollical assassination attempts
His source of financing did not come out in trial and is supposedly still under investigation by the FBI.
Where it will remain indefinitely so.
Thank God the trial was in Florida and not in DC.
The first thought that struck me when I saw Routh’s photo is…a jail house wedding between Ryan Routh and E. Jean Carroll would be wickedly delightful. Those 2 deserve each other.
Com’n! This guy is an intelligence asset (Clowns In America looking at you!) and they cut him off. Hence why he decided to represent himself.
