In a bizarre letter from prison, Ryan Routh, who was charged with the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, linked him to another potential assassin for the president-elect, Thomas Crooks. In it, he also ranted about the “two-party system.” ”

He called him a “dictator.”
At one point in the letter, Routh associates himself with Mr. Crooks. Crooks cut Trump's ear while speaking at a campaign event in Pennsylvania in July and was later shot and killed by a Secret Service agent.
Both men said they were “ready to die for freedom and democracy,” even though Routh has maintained his innocence in the assassination attempt.
In a letter written before the election, Routh said that if Trump wins, the country “must have military powers stripped by the president and presented to Congress by January.”
“We must limit all of President Trump's powers before he takes control of our country,” he added.
If Vice President Kamala Harris wins, Routh calls on Americans to siege the Capitol to prevent a repeat of the events of January 6, and considers the real possibility of a “civil war.” did.
