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.

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
