Was the Assassination Attempt a Distraction to Cover Up Another Bombshell?

(Substack)—Let me state up front before anyone says I’m crazy. I believe there’s a very good chance, perhaps over 95%, that Ryan Routh is a crazy guy either acting on his own or on orders from someone — probably the Deep State — to try to assassinate Donald Trump.

However, I’m not 100% convinced for three reasons. First, there’s the fact that Trump’s schedule was not public and he had made a last-minute decision to go golfing on Sunday. This would be a smoking gun if Trump didn’t regularly golf on Sundays, but it’s still conspicuous that he wasn’t supposed to do so yesterday.

Second, the stage was perfectly set for a faked assassination attempt. They had the right guy to push into action. They were able to have an alleged attempt without further damaging the reputation of the Secret Service. They had people positioned to identify and report Routh to authorities so they could rapidly apprehend him without incident. And to top it off, they had their favorite “news” outlet, CNN, dropping all the scoops so they could control the dissemination of the official narrative.

Some will argue that it would be hard to get anyone to willingly pretend to be attempting to assassinate a president. I would argue that for the Deep State, it wouldn’t be difficult at all. They would simply have to find someone (and they likely have many out there waiting for the call) they could pressure through other crimes. For example, let’s say they busted Routh with sex trafficking content on his computer. They could tell him he’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison, but he can either do so as a pedo or as the guy who tried to kill Trump. Given his background, it would be a no-brainer for a guy like Routh.

Last but not least is the “why”. Sunday, a credible sworn affidavit dropped showing illegal election actions taken by the Harris campaign and ABC News. It was an absolute bombshell if true, as I noted in an article. Less than two hours later, news of the alleged assassination attempt broke. No major news outlet discussed the affidavit other than The Gateway Pundit.

According to the sworn document, the Harris campaign demanded that Trump got fact-checked robustly while forbidding any fact-checks on Harris at all. She gave them a list of topics they couldn’t bring up, including her time as District Attorney and her corrupt brother-in-law. They gave her “sample” questions but didn’t give any to the Trump campaign.

Keep in mind, this affidavit was written, notarized, and sent to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson BEFORE last week’s debate, so the fact that it jibes perfectly with what we actually saw should be huge news. Except, it isn’t. Nobody’s talking about it. It would be hard to have a bigger story than the campaign of a sitting Vice President and current presidential candidate breaking the law to rig a debate, but they managed to find a bigger story nonetheless.

Again, I’m pretty sure that this theory is wrong. 95%. Maybe 90%. But it’s far from impossible and if the ABC News whistleblower story never resurfaces then I’d bump those odds up a notch.

I’ll be talking about this on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, plus a selection of stories from today’s newsletter links…
