He broke his ankle in the fall, but tried to run before police found him a short distance away. Adolf, who was hospitalized shortly after his arrest,<ref name="RMN0826" /> was wearing body armor when police apprehended him.

Jeffrey Dorschner, Eid's spokesman, said a defense attorney “would tear him apart”.<ref name="CQP0905"/> Although Eid would be accused of racism and political posturing for not seeking the charge, Eid said, "The 'political' thing to have done in this case, of course, would have been to charge all three defendants with making a threat against Obama and then quietly drop those charges later — expedient, ] and self-serving, but also illegal, unethical and immoral."<ref name="DP0912">{{Cite news |last=Eid |first=Troy |author-link=Troy Eid |url=http://www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_10441472 |title=Losing the truth in the depths of the Web |work=] |date=2009-09-12 |accessdate=2008-09-16}}</ref> | |||
| The Secret Service, ATF, FBI, a ] and the U.S. Attorney's office investigated the plot.<ref name="RMN0826" /> Inconsistencies with the men's stories led investigators to downgrade the threat the men presented to Barack Obama.<ref name="LVS0827"/> During a press conference on August 26, federal authorities said Gartrell, Adolf and Johnson had possessed little, if any, chance of actually assassinating Obama. Eid described the alleged plot as "more aspirational, perhaps, than operational",<ref name="AP0826" /> and said, "We're absolutely confident that the meth heads were not a true threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention or the people of Colorado."<ref name="RMN0826" /><ref name="NYP0826" /> Officials did not believe the men had a clear path to hit the stage from outside the convention hall,<ref name="AP0826" /><ref name="NYT0826" /> and had little chance of getting to Obama outside the convention, especially since they were incorrect about which hotel Obama would be staying at.<ref name="LAT0826" /> One FBI official described the trio as "just a couple of rednecks thinking out loud what they'd like to do".<ref name="DM0827" /> FBI officials said no additional precautions were planned in response to the alleged plot because security had already been high due to the prospect of threats from extremist groups.<ref name="NYT0826" /> Secret Service protection for Obama began after the Senator received a death threat in 2007, marking the first time a candidate received such protection before being nominated.

| Dr. William Boone, political science professor at ], said drug influence should not have been cause for prosecutors to dismiss the threat, and that drugs have historically caused criminals to follow through with such crimes and schemes.

Ramsey, who faced five years in federal prison and $250,000 in fines if convicted, sent McCain a package with a harmless white powdery substance and a letter that read, "Senator McCain, If you are reading this then you are already DEAD! Unless of course you can't or don't breathe."<ref name="BradBlog" /> Eid said the Ramsey case was "absolutely distinguishable"<ref name="DP0902" /> from that of Gartrell, Adolf and Johnson because there was no evidence of actual planning on the part of the trio.<ref name="DP0902" /> | |||
| In ], Jerry Blanchard was indicted for threatening to kill Obama during a July 15, 2008 breakfast at a ]. He allegedly called Obama the "]" at the breakfast, and made similar threats against Obama later at a hotel. Blanchard was placed in custody despite the fact that no evidence surfaced that he planned to go through with an assassination attempt. Later that same month in ], Raymond H. Geisel was charged with making threatening statements against Obama during a bail-bonds training class on July 31. Geisel also threatened to put a bullet in the head of then-President Bush, although Geisel later claimed he was joking. He was found to be in possession of ammunition, body armor, a combat-style hatchet, tear gas, a loaded 9 mm handgun and four loaded magazines. Geisel said he was a collector and was using the gun for his bail-bonds course. Geisel remained in custody for a month.<ref name="DP0902" /> | |||
| Eid said the Blanchard and Geisel situations were different from those of Gartrell, Adolf and Johnson because credible witnesses heard specific threats being made in both cases. Eid said Gartrell never made any threatening statements about killing Obama, and Johnson was under the influence when he accused Gartrell and Adolf and is not considered a credible witness. Blanchard's attorney, Lawrence Hewitt, said he planned to research the Colorado cases to see whether it would have any bearing on his client's case.<ref name="DP0902" /> In a letter responding to criticism about not pursuing federal charges against Gartrell, Adolf and Johnson, Eid wrote, “It would have been disgraceful for me or any other prosecutor to charge someone for a crime he didn’t commit. ... There was no probable cause to support such a charge. To the extent you challenge my motives or those of the many investigating agents and career prosecutors who all reached this conclusion in this matter, you’re mistaken.”<ref name="CQP0905" /> | |||

| ====Paul Schlesselman==== | |||
| Paul Schlesselman is of ] descent and was a high school dropout raised by a single father in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas. He hated his small ] region hometown because of its predominantly black population. He had never had any problems with the law prior to the alleged Obama plot. Schlesselman was regularly unsuccessful at finding work, was often short of money, and spent most of his time using his computer.{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} He also had a strong affinity for drinking and smoking.<ref name="ArkDemGaz1029">{{Citation |last=Krupa |first=John |url=http://www.nwanews.com/adg/News/241886/ |title=Teen in plot lists drinking as his job. |newspaper=] |date=2008-10-29 |accessdate=2008-11-07}}</ref> | |||

A few days before his arrest, a neighbor said he heard semiautomatic gunfire coming from an open field behind Schlesselman's house.<ref name="ArkDemGaz1029" /> After his arrest, Schlesselman's family expressed doubt that he seriously intended to carry out the plot; his father, Mike, said, "I think it's just a lot of talk. He would never do something like this."<ref name="AP1030" /> Kayla said she spoke with his brother after the charges were made public, and that Paul "said he's sorry about everything he's done."<ref name="AP1030" /> | |||

Cowart attended ] until 2006, but did not graduate. Cowart applied for ] to study computers but, although his family believed he was indeed attending the school, he never provided documentation or pursued other steps to enroll there.
