Government Corruption
Bill Barr blasts DOJ for releasing letter of would-be Trump assassin
2024-09-24
[NYPOST] Former US Attorney General William Barr panned the Justice Department he once ran for publicly disclosing a chilling letter from the man who allegedly attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
 earlier this month.

In a court filing Monday, prosecutors released the disturbing note they claim was authored by suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, as proof of his intention to kill the 45th president.

''I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public this morning the contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an acquaintance prior to the attempted liquidation of former President Trump,'' Barr told Fox News.

Prosecutors claimed to have acquired that note — addressed ''To the World'' — from an unnamed source who found it in a box they said was delivered to them by Routh prior to the shooting last week.

Routh had further offered a bounty of ''$150,000 to whomever can complete the job.''

''The letter calls on people to 'finish the job' of killing President Trump, attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms to do so, and offers $150,000 to anyone who succeeds. There was no apparent justification for releasing this information at this stage,'' Barr went on.

Some critics have noted how authorities had declined to release the Nashville shooter's lengthy manifesto carried out by a suspect who allegedly identified as a transgender man that shot up Covenant School last year and killed six people, including three children.

Law enforcement officials have previously indicated that evidence suggests Routh didn't actually fire off shots during the security scare at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach on Sept. 15.

Prosecutors also released details in their proffer about evidence that suggests Routh traveled from Greensboro, NC, to West Palm Beach, Fla., on Aug. 14, just a month before the alleged attempt on Trump’s life.

#7  As I understand, the letter had 3 pages, of which only the 1st was released. The DoJ left out the most important part: where do you go to collect your $150,000?

Now, I guess we're just waiting, for the DC Swamp to fill in the blank.

"Routh, ________ himself."

#2  Politically Selective.

The Mentally Ill Trans School shooter manifesto still has NOT been "Officially" released.

The reason given was. It might incite other Mentally Ill Transgenders to do the same thing.

However, it seems, the NNSDP Suits had no problem with quickly releasing the Trump Shooter's manifesto, as it might assist with their Pre-Nov 5th agenda?

Why one and not the other?
LGB-Transgenderism is now one of the top 10 agenda items of the New National Socialist Democrat Party (NNSDP).

Plus, the 2nd attempted shooters' manifesto, pretty much mimics the NNSDP's campaign points and offers the next shooter $150K to get it right.

#1  Bill Barr is prolly the guy in charge of eliminating Trump.
Just like he was the guy in charge of eliminating Epstein.
These comments by Bill Barr are ominous.
Why is he talking to anyone?
Does he have a job?
