As if the simple fact that there was a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump isn't crazy enough, the specific circumstances surrounding the attack are sure to surprise you.

This information isn't coming out of nowhere, either. We should be able to assume that this is a credible source, because it's coming from America's FBI, who expects us to trust them on every other issue.

A former FBI official is speculating that Trump gunman Ryan Routh may have had "inside" information on the whereabouts of former President Donald Trump.

Reports indicate that Routh was around the golf course treeline for about 12 hours, leading to speculation that Routh may have had inside knowledge about when are where Trump was going to be as opposed to just getting lucky about Trump's location.

Tipped off?

A former FBI assistant director has told DailyMail.com that he thinks there may have been some sort of inside collusion that got Ryan Routh as close as he was to Donald Trump.

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker was NOT shy about quickly sharing his opinion on how this second assassination attempt might have been set up:

"If you're thinking outside the four corners here, there could be somebody at that club – at Mar a Lago, or at the golf club – that just doesn't like him and has different political views. And, you know, they could have fed this information."

Swecker suggested "Routh could have received information on Trump's movements either deliberately or by someone who shared it unwittingly. Or, Routh may have been staking out and studying Trump's movements to prepare for his deed, putting his knowledge to use."

Trump's golf schedule

Although Donald Trump's tee times are not made public, could Trump have put himself in danger by simply playing the sport too often?

Golf courses are big areas with long sightlines, trees and other obstacles that offer protection for people who may want to get a glimpse of the former president. Does Trump play golf so often that he is putting himself in danger?

Does Trump need to stop playing the game in case would-be assassins start to stake out golf courses in the chance that Donald Trump shows up?

It's possible, but Swecker thinks it's more likely that Routh would have obtained inside information to know where Trump would be.

"I mean, there's only a couple of possibilities here. One is this guy had inside information, and having enough time to get to that fifth hole – that location between the fifth and sixth hole, and get himself set up," Swecker said. "So if somebody tipped them off, at the time Trump went off the first tee, it would have been about an hour and 15 hour and 20 minutes before he got to that spot."

"The other possibility is that he's been surveilling the former president, and either a watching Mar-a- Lago as to when when he leaves, or actually physically following him and his vehicle and determining exactly where he went," Swecker concluded. "The third possibility is he got lucky. I don't think that's the case. I think it's one of the first two, and neither one of them has good implications."
