President Trump’s would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, begged a federal judge to allow him to “freeze to death In Siberia” as part of a prisoner exchange with Russia in a bizarre letter last month where he also offered himself up to Hamas and other US adversaries.
Routh, who is currently locked up in a Miami federal prison as he awaits trial on the attempted assassination of Trump on his Palm Beach, Fla., golf course last September, bemoaned that he won’t face the death penalty if convicted before asking Judge Aileen Cannon to “trade me away” in the unhinged jailhouse letter, released Friday.
“[W]hy is the death penalty not allowed, at nearly 60 a life of nothingness without love – what is the point,” Routh wrote in the June 29 letter to the judge overseeing his case. “Why is it not all or nothing?”
Routh, 59, noted that he had previously demanded to be included in a prisoner swap but never heard back, and asked Cannon to consider his loony request.
“I had wished for a prisoner swap with Hamas, Iran for a female protestor, or China for Jimmy Lai or one of the 40 others or to freeze to death in Siberia in exchange for a Ukrainian soldier so that I could die being of some use and save all this court mess – but no one acts,” he grumbled.
**SNIP**
In the rambling letter, Routh also informs Cannon that he will be representing himself in court moving forward, while slamming his lawyers.

Meth is bad. Mmmmmkay?
W t f ?
W t f ?, 3.... 2..1.... Judge lets him Free.
This nutcase has obviously never seen the documentary of the “Black Dolphin” prison n Siberia.
I could put your shit in bold and underlined comment but there is no need.
Its right here: “This kook is done. Lock him up.”
No no no. Hawaii, unlimited travel to Iran, Ukraine other locales, connections to DEMS in WDC - Vindman folk, friends and family.
No there is shit here. SOMEONE, AGAIN ATTACKING OUR PRESIDENT. He was just the shooter. Not the planner. Not the instigator. NOT THE MONEY PEOPLE. Follow the money. Follow his phones. 18 phones. Follow everything. Shit.
Kash? Bongino? 17 other Intel agencies? And we have nothing?
Wait. My refrigerator has a message. Says “Explore the Deep State!” Usually it just tells me we’re low on milk.
;-)
Check every number. Check every debit card. Check everything. Its like NOBODY wants to see this SHIT!
Jim sorry - don’t take this down - two attempts on Trump’s life and we know nothing?
TH54 - I may be dying but not just yet.
Sounds like a fair trade to me.
I assume the judge is up to no good releasing this. Taint the jury pool?
Why would this “Trump supporter” want to leave America?
I understand your frustration. We all feel it. But there is most likely a current ongoing investigation. Nothing of substance should be released unless and until the investigation is concluded and there have been prosecutable crimes identified.
You know what they say about the "wheels of justice..."
Going for insanity plea. Can’t put the insane to death.
Sounds like he wants to be a martyr.
Yeah, good luck with that!
Waterboard him!
“...Going for insanity plea. Can’t put the insane to death...”
Au contraire. The insane are put to death every single day. Although, usually, it’s suicide-by-cop.
“Can’t put the insane to death.”
Yeah ya can.
Typical leftist lunatic.
Thanks for posting. BUMP!
The question is, who leaked info from his letter to the judge?
The courts usually clam up on all info.
So, who released it? His lawyer he fired? To what end?
Not guilty by reason of insanity?
Anyone who has looked deeply into Routh recognizes this as typical for him, he is a true fantasist and a figure of great international importance in his mind.
“”””” unlimited travel to Iran, Ukraine other locales, connections to DEMS in WDC - Vindman folk, friends and family.

You don’t know much about Routh, he had no real contacts, no real interaction with agencies or nations, or the celebrities and world leaders he tried to contact, we don’t actually know if he spent a lot of money traveling (which can be done cheaply and which he didn’t do so much of) but the life long contractor and cash work guy had just sold one of his houses for about $170,000, for all we know he may also have raised money and had places to stay from followers of his nutty internet site.
