And while his shady dealings with Ukraine are disturbing enough (and yes, we'll get into that), the real meat and potatoes of this story comes from Mike Benz, who just dropped a bombshell that could blow this whole thing wide open. What he believes happened—and what he's nearly certain of—is where things take a serious turn. This story is catching fire fast.

According to newly released DOJ documents, Routh didn't just dream about taking Trump out—he actively tried to buy military-grade weapons from Ukraine – of all places – including a shoulder-fired rocket launcher and even an anti-aircraft missile. Yes, you read that right. This man likely wanted to blow Trump's plane right out of the sky.

But it gets worse…

Ukrainian officials were reportedly aware of what Routh was trying to do. So the question is, did they quietly alert the Biden regime—or did they keep their mouths shut and let it ride? And if so… why?

Here's more on the story…

But let's back up for a second. If you'll recall, Routh was arrested after allegedly plotting to kill Trump at a campaign rally, and now we know he had direct ties to Ukraine, a country so steeped in corruption it makes DC look like a happy-go-lucky Sunday school. There's even a video from 2022 that appears to show Routh on the ground in Ukraine, around the same time he was supposedly trying to obtain these deadly weapons.

Paul A. Szypula:

Would-be Trump ender Ryan Routh tried buying a "rocket propelled grenade" from "an associate Routh believed to be a Ukrainian with access to military."

Routh said, "I need equipment so that Trump cannot get elected" as he wouldn't be "good for Ukraine."

Who was Routh's contact?
