I have made my opinion clear about these new Josh Hawley “whistleblower” reports.  “If bad actors within the IC wanted to control information, perhaps an operative wearing the mask of a “whistleblower” would be a good vector to control the narrative” {GO DEEP}

That said, Senator Josh Hawley, the guy who appears to be selected to receive the majority of these whistleblower conversations – not Chuck Grassley who has a much better filtration staff (insert suspicious cat here), claims his whistleblower has more information about routine USSS standards and protocols for the Trump National golf course that seem to have been intentionally removed in advance of the second assassination attempt.  WATCH:

EXCLUSIVE: New whistleblowers say @SecretService knew the vulnerabilities on the golf course where @realDonaldTrump was playing when he was almost killed. They usually have agents stationed there, but that day NO ONE was there. Whistleblowers tell @HawleyMO that protocol was not… pic.twitter.com/2wgokJej2Q

Again, I have no reason to doubt that a “whistleblower” communicated with Senator Josh Hawley; but given all of the stakes and players and considering that I cannot think of a single facet to any accountability that has ever come as a result of “whistleblowing,” sometimes I just wonder who vetts them.

I know the team behind Senator Chuck Grassley, those guys are really good about ferreting out ulterior motives. However, these “whistleblower” leaks to Josh Hawley, eh, something just doesn’t feel right.  Trust your instincts.

I’m not exactly sure what Acting Secret Service Director Ronald L Rowe Jr is talking about here, as he delivers remarks during an update on the assassination attempt investigation.   However, he seems to imply the U.S. Intelligence Community is telling him to prepare for a “geopolitical event” that will require expansion of the Secret Service protection mission.

Listen to what Rowe describes at the 23:58 point, after he discusses the “paradigm shift.”

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder gave a press briefing earlier today and at a certain point was asked some specifics about the attempted shooter/assassin Ryan Routh and his connection to the area.

At 11:25 of the video below, Sheriff Snyder instinctively has two general baseline questions: (1) How did the assassin, from outside the area, know exactly where to be in order to have the opportunity to shoot President Trump; and (2) Did Ryan Rough act alone, or was he part of a supportive conspiracy to assassinate President Trump.  WATCH (prompted):

I think it is fair to say that we all view the use of the FBI in this investigation with great trepidation.

Given the long and extensive history of the modern, highly, intensely political, FBI as a weaponized agency of the federal government, there is zero faith or trust in their institutional ability to conduct a genuine investigation.   This is not a comfortable thing to accept or admit, but unfortunately there is no other intellectually honest reference point from which to generate optimism.

Sheriff Snyder repeatedly defers all elements of the ongoing investigation to the FBI.  However, on the positive side all of the information that is inside the control of the local law enforcement is being shared with the public; it’s the feds that are the problem.

CTH has sources within the system on a local and state level. Prayers for President Trump, the entire Trump family and organization, along with our entire nation, continue.

The Martin County Sheriffs’ office has promised to release all the information around the Trump assassination attempt in Florida to the public.  This morning the sheriff’s office released the body cam footage from the arrest of Ryan Wesley Routh.

According to new information, suspect Ryan Routh spent almost 12 hours lying in wait for the former president at his golf course, according to court documents. Ryan Wesley Routh took up position at the Trump International Golf Course in Florida just before 2am on Sunday, officials said, citing data from the 58-year-old’s mobile phone. He camped at the spot, where he was concealed in the tree line, with food and an assault rifle until 1:31pm, when he was allegedly spotted by President Trump’s security team and fled in a black Nissan without opening fire.

Ryan Routh was arrested on I-95 as he fled the area.  The body camera footage released shows his arrest. WATCH:

The full briefing video is below.  There are also preliminary pictures of the suspect.  I would note the nervousness of the FBI agent in charge.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw: Secret Service was able to spot a rifle sticking out of the bushes and fired on the suspect some 300-400 yards away.

In the bushes where the suspect ran from, the Secret Service or law enforcement found an AK-47-style rifle with a scope, 2 backpacks that had ceramic tile at them, and a GoPro for taking photos.

Bradshaw also says he has photos of everything that they will release. Bradshaw: “Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, “Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tags, which was great.” Said the Secret Service agent who spotted this and opened fire did a “fantastic job.”

Yesterday, Acting Director of the U.S. Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, briefed members of the House and Senate about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.

Following the briefing Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn), told reporters that lawmakers “will have a report very, very soon that I think will absolutely shock the American people about the lapses and lags in protection that was afforded that day and the breakdown in communication, failure and responsibility.” Apparently, the USSS is going to use the ‘mistakes were made‘ justification for the failures in protection.

(WASHINGTON DC) – Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe spoke with members of both the House and Senate in closed sessions Thursday to discuss the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Rowe briefed members in both chambers about the agency’s interim report examining the USSS’s security lapses that led to a gunman being able to scale a nearby building and open fire on Trump, just minutes into his rally.

According to Fox News the acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe has asked protective operations Asst Director Michael Plati to resign his position.

Hopefully this is not just another example of creating the illusion of accountability.  However, prior precedent indicates nothing dissimilar.  Was Michael Plati the ultimate decisionmaker on all of the facets that led to such a botched protective detail?  Not likely.

(VIA Fox News) – A high-ranking leader within the Secret Service has been asked to retire following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Fox News Digital has learned.

Michael Plati, office of protective operations assistant director, has been asked to retire and is ending his tenure with the service in the coming days.

Plati was asked to step down by senior leadership, including Acting Director Ronald Rowe.

The transparency of intent is crystal clear for the non-pretenders.  Ultimately, it’s all about controlling information.

The United States Dept of Justice (Lawfare), following an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) now assert that the Telegram communications app was/is central to efforts of a White Supremist movement in the USA.

Following the EU effort to destroy Telegram via the arrest of the founder and CEO Pavel Durov, the USA adds our customary racism flavoring to the narrative du jour, and the IC outlines support for Telegram removal.

WASHINGTON – U.S. prosecutors unveiled criminal charges on Monday against two alleged leaders of a white supremacist gang, saying they used the Telegram social media site to solicit attacks on Black, Jewish, LGBTQ people and immigrants aiming to incite a race war.

The group, dubbed “The Terrorgram Collective,” used the site to celebrate white supremacist attacks around the world and solicit racially motivated violence, prosecutors said in an indictment unsealed in federal court in Sacramento, California.

Schools are closed for the rest of the week in Barrow County, Georgia as the community deals with a major tragedy.  Four people including two students, and two teachers are dead; nine others are injured after 14-year-old gunman Colt Gray opened fire at Apalachee High School in northern Georgia.

More than a year ago, tips about online posts threatening a school shooting led Georgia police to interview a 13-year-old boy, but investigators didn’t have enough evidence for an arrest.  Colt Gray has been charged as an adult in the deaths of Apalachee High School students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both 14, and instructors Richard Aspinwall, 39, and Christina Irimie, 53.

Two school resource officers encountered the shooter within minutes after a report of shots fired went out … The teen immediately surrendered and was taken into custody.

(VIA CBS) – The teen had been interviewed after the FBI received anonymous tips in May 2023 about online threats to commit an unspecified school shooting, the agency said in a statement. [SOURCE LINK]

Unfortunately, this prior warning -and the inaction therein- aligns with our previous discussion of the FBI and the factual mission of the organization.  {GO DEEP}

Continuing in the series of articles around the challenge to Trump staffing in 2025, we now shift focus to the FBI Director, Deputy Director and Chief Legal Counsel positions. However, in order to appropriately discuss this critical silo, it becomes very important for everyone to understand the current status of the FBI as the organization has self-identified.

For those who followed the 2016 campaign of President Trump and then watched the 2017 attacks organized by the DOJ and FBI toward the incoming Trump administration, you may agree with me that a complete disassembly of the FBI is now warranted. I will walk through the process, but first it is important to understand just how bad the corruption has become:

RECAP: The FBI relationship with Antifa is exactly what we have previously discussed on these pages.  There is no way for Antifa to operate as a domestic extremist group, without the expressed support and willful blindness of the FBI.  Quite simply if the FBI wanted to stop the violent and extremist activity of Antifa, they could do that easily.

Remember, the objective of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was to resecure what they perceived as physical evidence President Trump controlled showing how the DOJ and FBI action in 2016 was targeting him using the power of their law enforcement and intelligence agencies.   In the background, the origination of all the DOJ/FBI/IC targeting goes back to the ’15/’16 FBI exploitation of the NSA database; this is not a contested discussion issue – it’s just continually forgotten.

The FBI was using their access to the NSA metadata of all Americans, to conduct surveillance on political candidates that might be a threat to the power structures that exploited the secrets within the electronic records of all Americans.  The FBI was, almost certainly still is, conducting domestic surveillance and tracking Americans just like the German Stasi or Soviet KGB.  It’s still happening, but we are not supposed to talk about it, or something.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago, just like the Robert Mueller investigation, was part of a long standing coverup operation.  The FBI was looking for what Trump took with him as evidence of the weaponized system that targeted him.  The FBI wanted that back.  The FBI was willing to use deadly force to get it back if that’s what it took.
