Fox’s story recounted Routh’s decades of run-ins with police, his fraudulent check charges, numerous firearms violations, that time he had an armed standoff with police, his traffic tickets like driving without a license, and even a 2002 charge for having an explosive device and fully automatic machine gun that both qualified as weapons of mass destruction under North Carolina law.
But —and this was the key point— despite all that criminal history, including multiple felony convictions, Fox’s story did not mention Routh serving a single day in jail. Nor did it mention any mental health treatment, voluntary or involuntary. The reason Fox’s headline said Routh played “cat and mouse,” was because despite arresting and convicting him any number of times, they never actually got him. Not really.
And … what was he doing with explosives and a fully automatic machine gun in 2002? Apparently, Routh got pulled over for an expired tag, and the cops saw his weapons when Routh grabbed one. Routh fled, and the standoff occurred. Somehow Routh never went to jail for that. The cops never would’ve found the gear absent the expired tag.
But where had Routh been going?
Retired Greensboro Police Department Officer Eric Rasecke, who knew Routh in North Carolina, said Routh believed nobody could touch him:
"Routh's attitude was that he was above everybody. He could do what he wanted," Rasecke
said. "It didn't matter. He was pretty entitled. ... He ran his mouth quite a bit about how he
could get off and how he owned a successful business and nobody could do anything to
him and [how] he knew everybody in Greensboro."
How did Routh get the idea he was untouchable? Maybe, and I’m only guessing here, maybe the reason Routh felt like he was untouchable is because he was, in fact, untouchable. Untouchable the way an intelligence asset is untouchable. Untouchable the way Jeffrey Epstein was untouchable before and at the time of his first arrest and his sweetheart plea deal.
In other words, Routh’s criminal history is consistent with the theory of Routh as an asset. Just saying.
