Ohio man charged with plot to assassinate former President George W. Bush
ABC ^ | 5/25/22 | Luke Barr

"Shihab told [Confidential Source 1] that the four Iraqi nationals Shihab wanted to smuggle into the United States are planning to kill former president George W. Bush," the complaint said.

He repeatedly made claims to a separate confidential source that he'd be able to get a fake passport and be able to smuggle that source's brother through the U.S.-Mexico border. He said an upfront payment between $10,000 and $40,000 was to be made in order to smuggle people in.

The U.S. Secret Service said it was prepared to handle any threat to the president.

"The U.S. Secret Service takes all threats to our protectees seriously," it said in a statement to ABC News. "In order to maintain operational security, the Secret Service does not discuss the means and methods used to conduct our protective operations or matters of protective intelligence."

"President Bush has all the confidence in the world in the United States Secret Service and our law enforcement and intelligence communities," said Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush.

Weren't there a couple of people recently who were passing themselves off as Secret Service - had badges/IDs and everything? All they got was a slap on the wrist from a Soros DA.

I hope so. Meaning you support Muslim terrorists killing a former leader who retaliated against Muslim jihad, and as if this made him a bigger terrorist? And while certainly Bush is far too much to the Left, yet that is not why the Muslim terrorists want to murder a former President almost 20 years after the 2nd gulf war.

I never claimed to support “Muslim terrorists”. I simply claimed to not support war criminals like Bush.

Open borders have consequences, even for those who left them open.

Bush is a big believer in open borders AND he has Secret Service Protection. The rest of us are on our own. Clearly, he does not lose sleep over the number of deaths resulting due to drugs brought over the border or other deaths and crimes committed by border jumpers. I feel no sadness or outrage that he was targeted.

He’s not an “Ohio man”.

He’s a foreign jihadi lunatic who never should have been allowed here in the first place.
