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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Just lock this retard up. If he wants to die, just put him in the same cell Epstein was put in.
Let him sit in jail and rot.
Must you drop the S-bomb every few sentences? This isn’t middle school.
Poor guy. He needs attention .....NOW!
A long time ago “the wheels of justice.....” became code for “go watch TV and fuggedit about it”.
There is no justice in a system that takes more than 12 months to get to the end. This is in violation of the US Const.
No more. Release everything as you discover it, just like you would in the discovery process of ANY court case. Will the MSM roast you? Yeah. They should, ‘cause y’all are covering up shitte just by sitting on it .
To extend suffering as much and as long as possible. It gives plenty of time to review decisions made poorly.
I sympathize with your views about delayed justice. Frustrating to be sure. I fondly look back on the times when a murderer was found guilty and executed almost immediately. Alas those days are gone.
