...'These People Want Trump to Be Killed'

Western Journal, Oct 1, 2024. Matt Walsh: FBI's Trump Shooter Investigation Proves 'These People Want Trump to Be Killed'

More than anything else, the politicization of law enforcement signals the imminent arrival of totalitarianism.

Thus, for as long as free speech remains in partial effect — that is, until the deep state has silenced dissenting voices for good — we must make sure that the most egregious examples of this politicization remain in the news cycle for as long as possible.

In case you missed it last week, or in case you have forgotten it amid the heartbreaking damage wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina and elsewhere, conservative commentator Matt Walsh and many others on the social media platform X voiced legitimate suspicions about the motives of federal law enforcement officials who made the shocking decision to release a letter allegedly written by Ryan Routh, the lunatic suspected of trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump in Florida on Sept. 15.

“If there was ever any doubt about whether or not these people want Trump to be killed, well, now there’s no doubt,” Walsh said in a video posted to X.

For Walsh and others, a key piece of evidence involves the FBI’s very different handling of another deranged person’s writings.

Recall that after transgender shooter Audrey Hale — a woman who identified as a man — murdered six people, including three children, before losing her own life at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, in March 2023, FBI agents immediately got their hands on the shooter’s manifesto, lied about their intent to release the document and then kept it concealed from the public for as long as possible.

In fact, not until November did portions of the manifesto become public thanks to independent journalism and local law enforcement.

Other parts of the manifesto only came to light earlier this month, when the Tennessee Star published 90 unredacted pages.

In other words, federal law enforcement worked hard to keep Hale’s dark and disturbed writings from reaching the public.

“For a year they said, ‘Well, we can’t release any of this shooter’s writings.’ And why did they say they can’t release it? Because it would be a danger to the public,” Walsh said. It might “inspire other copycats to do the same thing.”

Apparently the FBI has no such copycat-related concerns when it comes to attempts on Trump’s life.

As Walsh noted in a separate post on X, Routh’s letter “openly encourages more shootings and offers to pay for them.”

A screen shot of the letter showed that Routh (or whoever wrote it) offered $150,000 to anyone who would “complete the job.”

The astonishing release of that letter confirmed for X users what many have believed for a long time: In short, powerful people want Trump eliminated.

For instance, one X user saw the release as proof that “without a doubt they want Trump dead.”

Likewise, another X user correctly noted that the “DOJ just put a bounty out on President Trump‘s head by releasing this.”

Meanwhile, Tammy Bruce of Fox News saw the letter’s release as part of a pattern. She called it “now impossible to suggest that all of the violence aimed at President Trump is somehow just coincidental.”

In short, news cycles come and go. But we cannot allow certain developments to disappear from our consciousness. Evil people rely on the complacency that ensues.

Walsh and the others, of course, had it right. The difference in the way federal officials treated the two documents leads to only one possible conclusion: They wanted the contents of Hale’s manifesto concealed. And that means — dark as it is to contemplate — that they also wanted the contents of Routh’s letter disseminated.
