“On the Holmes Front” with Frank Holmes
The lead prosecutor in the case against the man who tried to murder President Donald Trump just dropped a legal bombshell on the case — and it has Biden administration officials nervous.
The former U.S. Attorney has linked the second Trump assassination attempt to terrorism.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has been a thorn in the Biden administration’s side for months, as she insisted the attempted assassination of the president at the Trump International Golf Club in in West Palm Beach, Florida, on September 15 was too big a case for the federal government to handle alone.
Florida protects its citizens, she said, even former and future presidents.
In a huge development, Moody filed a felony charge of attempted murder against the assailant—Ryan Wesley Routh—not for the Trump assassination itself, but for nearly killing a six-year-old girl during his getaway.
Routh, who has ties to international left-wing figures all over the world, somehow heard that President Trump would be playing golf at his club and lay in wait in the bushes for about 12 hours. He had the president in his sights when a Secret Service agent happened to see the barrel of his rifle poking out of the bushes.
Routh jumped into a black Nissan Xterra and floored it, burning rubber due north on Interstate 95.
Police stopped traffic in their efforts to catch him. As they stopped traffic, a car rammed into the back of a vehicle carrying an unnamed six-year-old girl.
Despite wearing her seatbelt, she sustained injuries that court papers, which The Horn has obtained, describe as “life-threatening.”
The girl was rushed to a hospital where, according to the papers, she remains to this day.
“When you couple those terrible injuries together with [Routh’s] other criminal conduct, which we believe rises to the level of domestic terrorism,” said Moody at a press conference on Wednesday. “It turns his actions into an attempted felony murder case.”

Routh all-but admitted his terrorist motivations. When they caught Routh, they found a box with personal items, included a letter addressed to “Dear World,” telling us what we already knew: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you.”
Rumors swirled at the time of an Iranian assassination team sent to take the president’s life.
Marin County Sheriff Will Snyder also thought the incredible level of Routh’s access needed to be investigated.
“How does a guy from, not here, get all the way to Trump International, realize that the president, former president of the United States is golfing and is able to get a rifle in that vicinity?” asked the sheriff. “Is this guy part of a conspiracy? Is he a lone gunman?”
“If he’s part of a conspiracy, this whole thing takes on an ominous tone,” Snyder said.

WOW.

Governor Ron DeSantis promised a full investigation into the crime, which took place in his state, but the Biden administration tried to quash it.
“I have never seen such unwillingness or lack of communication,” said Moody.
Moody knows what she’s talking about. She’s a former federal prosecutor with the United States Attorney’s office, prosecuting drug dealers and con artists accused of fraud.
Moody said the feds insisted Florida not bring any charges against the attempted murderer, in order “to protect the case and national security.”
And when has the U.S. government ever lied about national security?
As far as the Biden administration is concerned, Moody could go pound sand. The FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the U.S. Secret Service are handling the federal investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting the Routh assassination case.
Routh faces five federal charges: attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer (a Secret Service Agent), felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
But Moody and DeSantis don’t seem to trust federal prosecutors…and Routh seemed panicked about his legal situation.
Things went so bad for Routh during his hearing Wednesday morning in a courtroom in Fort Pierce, Florida, that he’s considering trying to go for a legal insanity plea.
That’s going to be a hard sell, with his letters: Routh wrote at least 40 letters to the media trying to convince reporters he’s an “honorable guy.” (If he tried to kill Donald Trump, the media already love him.)
Routh legal team also asked the judge to put off the trial for a year, until December 2025, to give them time to gather and analyze case-related paperwork.
That didn’t seem to sit well with Judge Aileen Cannon.
If that name sounds familiar, it should: Cannon dismissed the government’s trump-up charges that President Donald Trump illegally kept classified documents in his home instead of turning them over to the federal government—leading to the unprecedented FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. Cannon said her fellow judges approached her and told her to step aside from the case.
But Moody says she’s not going anywhere. “I anticipate this investigation will not stop,” Moody said. “It will continue and will be transparent and accountable to Floridians.”
Imagine what will happen when the Biden administration leaves town, and the Trump administration starts cooperating with the investigation into the left-wing radical who tried to blow his head off.
What do you think they’ll find?
