This is a new one on me, but I haven't read the books recently so I may be suffering
from memory lapse.

You're privy to the mail he sends his supporters? If that was the case, why didn't
they charge him with conspiracy to shoot the president? Or is this something you know
but the secret service never picked up on?

Maybe, but if you consider how often the government lies about the state of things,
why would you trust them any more than a murderer?

Which supports the contention that they did it and made up stories that he made them
do it by exerting 'mind control'.

What is your source on this? Or are you just 'assuming' it must be the case?
