The Justice Department released a chilling letter written by would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh on Monday.
The DOJ obtained the letter from a witness who says they received it inside a box delivered to them by Routh several months prior to the assassination attempt. Authorities say the witness opened the box only after hearing Routh was suspected in the attack.
The box contained several handwritten letters as well as ammunition, among other things. One of the letters, addressed "Dear World," discussed the assassination attempt.
"This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job," Routh wrote.
"Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president," the letter continues. "U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America, and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity. Trump fails to understand any of [that]."

I wonder who the author of the letter was. FBI maybe? CIA maybe? The state actually thinks we are stupid.
To: bitt
What? They just released this?
In every other attempt this sort of thing is sealed. Oh wait! They WANT people to be influenced by the shooter!
I forgot

"U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America, and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity. Trump fails to understand any of [that]."
Sounds like it could have been written by Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, or any other character running in those circles (i.e. the Swamp).
As an aside, how is attempting an assassination embody "the moral fabric that is America" or "stand for humanity"?

“U.S. presidents must, at bare minimum, embody the moral fabric that is
America, and be kind, caring and selfless and ‘always stand for humanity.’”
Perfectly describes the Clintons (sniffle).

“Iran, I apologize. You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal,” DOJ documents say.’

Can someone explain to me why that letter says, I failed you, if it was written months before the attempted murder?
To: californian by choice
This seems to mean he tried to kill Trump before but nobody is reporting this obvious conclusion.

The DOJ obtained the letter.....so they put it out to the media = therefore the DOJ itself is supporting his call for further assassination attempts.

Hmmm release a letter calling for others to kill trump but they never wanted to release the Tennessee Trans school shooter’s letter? Not fishy at all

Yes, my assumption too. The golf course incident was Routh's second -- at least -- attempt. Remember it was reported that he wanted desperately to be someone important, so he went around the world trying to be a big wheel -- trying to arrange arms deals, recruiting for Ukraine, and -- if I remember correctly -- one of his would-be schemes involved Iran. Perhaps he told the Iranians he could kill then-Pres. Trump. But like most of his pie-in-the-sky plans, it fell thru and he felt obliged to apologize to the Iranians. He wasn't apologizing for this recent failure.

So much for transparency by the FEDS.
How about info on:
1. When did Routh leave Hawaii and come to NC or FL?
2. What does the GPS on his SUV show?
3. What info is on his smartphone?
4. Why didn’t SS walk the perimeter of the golf course before Trump even arrived?
OK Feds, where is the transparency on these and similar items??????
To: bitt
So this guy just put a 150,000 bounty on Trumps head and the DOJ allowed it to be put out to the world. This should have been sealed with need to know access
