The man who authorities say sat with a rifle in the trees where Donald Trump was golfing earlier this month in West Palm Beach, Florida, previously wrote a letter stating “this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,” according to a new filing Monday by federal prosecutors....

One letter, addressed to “The World” said: “... I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”

Prosecutors say Routh was in the area of Trump’s golf course and the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence across multiple days in the month before he was arrested and had a Google search of how to travel from Florida to Mexico in one of his phones.

Routh also had a handwritten list of dates and venues where Trump has or was expected to appear in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election.

Prosecutors wrote that Routh had traveled to West Palm Beach from North Carolina on August 14. Cell phone data shows him near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and the golf course “multiple days and times” between August 18 and September 15, the day he was arrested...”

Not our deep state... someone else’s :

After learning of the apparent assassination attempt, the witness opened the box, according to the filing

One letter, addressed to “The World” said: “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.”

Trump “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled,” the letter says.

Maybe a cartel hired the guy or he owed a dealer money for a favor, so they called in the favor.

Routh, in a self-published book, also told the country of Iran: “You are free to assassinate Trump.”

He wrote the letters and the book BEFORE upsetting up his shooting position.

Maybe the confusion is that there is more than one letter. The authors at one point refer to letters as plural. Then later they refer to a letter or the letter, as if there is one.

The stash of items found by a witness where he had stayed said the box had letters in it, and he apparently looked at one and got concerned. The others may be manifesto material too, or may just be old bills and junk mail.

Or, he wrote the letter as an oppose just in case he was killed by the Secret Service while in the act of trying to kill Trump. Maybe he wanted to be a martyr just for trying, if he didn’t actually succeed.

That would explain the past tense... his way of saying’if you can read this then I didn’t make it to Mexico’ because if he had been successful and managed to get back, he would have grabbed all of his stuff and left town, leaving no letter behind.

CNN - No thanks. The same information is readily available from less offensive news sources. No need to support CNN — King of fake news and a proxy of the Deep State
