U.S. Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), a Navy SEAL sniper before his congressional career, didn’t hold back in his conversation with conservative commentator Benny Johnson about the alarming possibility of a “mole” within the Secret Service. After two assassination attempts on President Trump in just over 60 days, it’s clear that serious questions need answers. The recent apprehension of Ryan Routh, 58, who set up a sniper’s nest outside Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, raises eyebrows. His round of golf wasn’t even on the public schedule—how convenient, right? Investigators are scratching their heads over Routh’s plan; he reportedly had no knowledge of the course or the area, which begs the question: how did he even get there?
Johnson laid out several perplexing mysteries surrounding this case and pressed Rep. Crane for his thoughts on the latest attempt on Trump’s life. “How did Ryan Routh vote in North Carolina in 2024 when he cast his ballot in person for Joe Biden just six months ago? How did this Joe Biden voter manage to vote in North Carolina while living in Hawaii? And how on earth did he buy firearms with felonies for weapons of mass destruction on his record?” Johnson asked.
Let’s not forget that Routh was convicted back in 2002 for possessing a fully automatic weapon. Crane was quick to respond: “As for your voting question, it’s clear our elections aren’t as transparent and secure as the establishment would like you to believe. And regarding the gun issue? Just another reason why Democrats who want to disarm us shouldn’t be allowed to do so—criminals ignore the law, period.”
Crane didn’t stop there. He issued a stark warning about the Secret Service: “Here’s my advice to the president: strengthen your private security. Fill the gaps the Secret Service continues to leave open and watch the watchers.” He underscored the chilling possibility that a mole exists within the Secret Service team surrounding President Trump, or even at its highest levels. “He needs individuals around him who are loyal and not politicized.”
Dan Bongino, a Secret Service veteran, echoed these concerns, suggesting that a “mole” could be lurking within the Department of Homeland Security or the Secret Service itself. Bongino highlighted documented plots involving foreign nationals infiltrating federal agencies. He pointed out a particularly outrageous case where two men were convicted for impersonating federal agents to deceive the Secret Service.
Bongino pulled no punches, explaining, “What happened yesterday, in Secret Service terms, was an OTR—off-the-record movement. It’s not on the official schedule, meaning only a select few were in the loop.” What’s even more suspicious? The decision for Trump to play golf came last minute, suggesting that when the call was made, fewer than ten people knew about it. So, how did Routh know to set up right there? It’s time to start asking the tough questions.
