Former CIA Targeter Sounded Alarm On Would-Be Assassin

A former CIA targeter and investigator, Sarah Adams, has exposed that Ryan Routh.

The man behind the recent attack attempt on President Donald Trump had been flagged for criminal behavior over a year ago.

A warning note was sent out in the form of a BOLO warning (Be On The Lookout), back on June 2, 2023.

This early alert, shared by Adams, warned of Routh’s dangerous activities.

But like so many before that were on the CIA’s “radar”, this was yet another missed opportunity to prevent escalation.

Or was that the plan all along?

Townhall reports:

A former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) targeter who is now an investigator and author has shared that numerous humanitarian advocates helping Ukraine against the Russian invasion expressed concern last year regarding ongoing criminal behavior by Ryan Routh, the man who attempted to assassinate President Trump on September 15, 2024. Routh’s alleged behavior was so troubling that it was purportedly shared with the U.S. Department of State.

In information shared with Townhall.com, Sarah Adams, a former CIA targeter and intelligence analyst, shared a Be On The Lookout warning (BOLO) from June 2, 2023 warning of criminal activities by Ryan Routh.  The information in Ms. Adams’ BOLO was, according to her, even reported to the U.S. government, specifically the Department of State.

The BOLO is partially reprinted below:

“📢 Important Announcement 📢 🚫 BOLO 🚫

“Beware of American Ryan Routh. Reports indicate that he is leading a human trafficking scheme. He is instructing Afghans to travel illegally to Iran with the promise they will link up eventually with the Ukrainian legion to fight. This is a fraud as NO official pathway exists for this from the Ukrainian Government for our allies in Afghanistan. Also, despite promised funding support it has not come to fruition and he has abandoned Afghans illegally in Iran.

“Stay vigilant from these fraudsters and feel free to copy this to spread the word! hashtag#StaySafe 🚫🛂 ”

Ms. Adams was author of the BOLO, which was sent out to a number of humanitarian groups connected to helping Ukrainians after the Russian reinvasion of February 24, 2022, as well as groups assisting Afghans who had previously assisted the United States during the 20-year War in Afghanistan.

Ms. Adams’ BOLO continued and shared Routh’s website, social media that included a LinkedIn page as well as then Twitter/now X account, and his regular phone number, that Routh apparently used across various platforms to include Signal, WhatsApp and Viber.  (Townhall has specifically omitted this information)

The BOLO was received and Mr. Routh was known to be ostracized by several leaders in the Ukrainian humanitarian community.

Why does it seem this is the story every time there’s a shooter?

“He was on our radar.”

There’s even a popular meme that calls it out:
