1/ @wapo reports that early in his presidency, the Secret Service warned Trump about concerns about protecting him if he continued to golf at his courses, because of their proximity to public roads. Trump told them his courses were safe & kept playing.

2/The Secret Service did its job—the gunman didn’t get closer than 500 feet, about a football field & 1/2, to Trump. The gunman didn’t get a shot off, despite the fact that Trump’s outing had not been previously planned, which forced Secret Service agents “to work on the fly”

3/Different approach: Ronald Reagan essentially gave up golf "because he was concerned about putting other people at unnecessary risk" after an armed man took hostages at Augusta National to try & get to him.

Yesterday DOJ charged Ryan Wesley Routh, with two firearms charges. Details about the crimes & possible penalties are here.

5/Joe Biden & Kamala Harris expressed gratitude Trump was safe. Harris tweeted: “I am deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today. As we gather the facts, I will be clear: I condemn political violence. We all must do our part to ensure

6/At the same time Trump praised the Secret Service for protecting him, he was unable to make the connection to threats against others, like the bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, which came on the heels of his and J.D. Vance’s repeated lies about Haitian immigrants eating pets.

7/Last night JD Vance said, “The big difference between conservatives & liberals is that no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple months.” Neither man who tried to attack Trump is a “liberal.”

8/The outrage is only when their own safety is at risk. Today is National Voter Registration Day. Make plans to vote with friends! And please sign up for my newsletter, Civil Discourse, to stay on top of issues at the intersection of law & politics.
