When big cities with lotsa crime don’t report it, the overall crime figures go down. See how that works?
Looking at you LA, New Orleans, NYC…
^^^^^ Let's see if I am reading this correctly. Did Routh try to assassinate Trump previously to his latest attempt and failed? Then he offered $150,000 to anyone who succeeds. Then he tried again and obviously failed? Just trying to make sense all of this.
Not what I'm reading..
Former AG Bill Barr Says DOJ Shouldn't Have Released Letter Of Trump Assassination Attempt Suspect | ZeroHedge

.....The DOJ submitted the letter—which months before the alleged assassination attempt was left with an individual who contacted law enforcement after learning that Ryan Routh was the suspect
..... The handwritten letter allegedly describing Routh’s plans was placed in a box that he dropped off months earlier at the home of an unidentified person who did not open it until after last Sunday’s arrest, prosecutors said. The box also contained ammunition, a metal pipe, building materials, tools, phones, and various letters. The person who received the box and contacted law enforcement was not identified in the DOJ’s detention memo and was described only as a “civilian witness.
......Barr told Fox News on Monday, however, that the DOJ should not have released the note because it contained a claim from Routh that he would offer a large sum of cash if he failed in his attempt.
“The letter ... attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms” to take action against Trump, Barr said.
“There was no apparent justification for releasing this information at this stage.
“It served no purpose other than to risk inciting further violence.”
It is a fail-safe mechanism. It is common for operatives to use such devices. They usually have something written, along with physical evidence, that will incriminate a subject. This is known as the 'package'. If that operative is killed, then the items are released to the proper media for publication. It works as long as the operative lets the subject know that the package is staged and the subject does not know how the package will be put into play. It is kind of a mutually assured destruction.^^^^^ Let's see if I am reading this correctly. Did Routh try to assassinate Trump previously to his latest attempt and failed?

I think Routh used this method in attempt to get Trump killed if he failed to succeed. The letter was the package and his friend was instructed to only open and release it if Routh was killed or arrested.
The most telling of this is that the government published it, almost immediately, it with no redactions. Unlike everything else having to do with Trump where they drag their feet and heavily redact documents before giving them up.
