Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old man who is suspected of an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, had connections in Iran that are leading some security experts to question if there was Iranian involvement. A New York Times reporter who had interviewed Routh last year wrote on Sunday that Routh was working to recruit former Afghan special operations soldiers who had fled to Iran to go fight in Ukraine. . . The reporter, Thomas Gibbons-Neff, wrote that when he was writing an article on volunteer fighters in Ukraine last year, his former Afghan colleague and friend Najim Rahim had put him in touch with Routh, who he had learned about from a source of his in Iran, a former Afghan special operations soldier. A number of U.S.-trained Afghan special operations forces had fled to Iran after the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. Since those forces were trained by U.S. special operations forces, the Afghan commandos’ escape into Iran potentially delivered “closely guarded secrets on U.S. special operators” to Iran, according to Foreign Policy.
A Pakistani national with ties to Iran pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges related to an Iranian plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
A federal judge in Brooklyn ordered Asif Merchant detained pending trial at the Monday hearing in which Merchant pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to commit an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries and taking part in a murder-for-hire plot, according to ABC News.
Merchant pleaded not guilty the same day that another man suspected of targeting Trump for assassination appeared in a federal court in West Palm Beach, Florida. That man, who was arrested shortly after allegedly fleeing from a sniper spot at Trump International Golf Course, was arraigned on charges of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
So, if I even attempt to connect the dots of Routh and Merchant to Iran that would light up the switchboards in the non-existent wink-wink Nina Jankowicz Merrick Garland Ministry of Truth, nein? Forget the fact that the junta in power and the generationally-embedded anti-American ticks in Foggy Bottom have been trying to replace Israel with Iran as the top dog in the Middle East going back at least as far back as Obama, if not before. Considering what's happening in Springfield Ohio and Obama's culinary proclivities, maybe the word dog is inadvisable in this context.

He was certainly anti-Trump. That's indisputable.
So what point did you think you were making then?
I wish I was surprised to see another cowardly leftist.

Yup, he was desperate for Trump to not be the candidate. Dude was deranged.
Dazzlersays he's MAGA. But he's a cunt.
Harris-Walz bumper sticker, wants to kill Trump, and attends Harris rallies, but he’s a Trump supporter according to PeePee Brain H.
I know the rumored pictures of the guy's Biden-Harris bumper sticker, but the Tug keeps referencing a Harris-Walz bumper sticker. Help me out.
Use a different search engine than the CIA’s Google
A distinction without a difference
He was on the FBI's radar. Sort of.

Which, considering the players involved, puts this story about assassination attempt #2 – with no doubt more possibly in the wings – in a new light:
Whether the Iranian connection is merely incidental, there's also this connection worth noting:

I'm sure he did all of that for free and covered his own T&E.
You probably have 50 of them on your '87 Toyota mom gave you.
Justice is coming!
