LETTERS TO THE EDITOR / ACTIONS TRUMP WORDS
Roger C. Kostmayer
The nation is in the vortex of a political and criminal storm. It won’t be long before each of us, along with elected representatives, must decide if a US President suborned perjury by telling others to lie under oath and/or obstructed justice. Finding the truth isn’t always easy, but it’s essential in a democracy that the people do that by supporting the Constitutional process and the results.
Many Americans are struggling with financial pressures, family or health issues, and don’t have the luxury of time – time to read, time to listen and time to analyze important but complex issues. But Americans have a history of ultimately using their common sense, empathy and integrity to reach difficult conclusions, even if the person was a leader in their party. (Think about Senator Joe McCarthy, VP Agnew, and President Nixon among others.) If you are asked about an accused politician for whom you voted, your response may well be defensive or protective of him. But if asked to put yourself in a completely innocent politician’s shoes and then decide, in good faith, what actions you would, and would not take – the response is likely to be different when compared with the acts of the President.
For example, if you were innocent of the accusations and the charges, would you demand an immediate, thorough, professional and unbiased investigation to prove your innocence and protect your reputation? Would you insist on complete transparency by everyone and cooperate fully with the rule of law? Or, would you lie, tell others to lie, refuse transparency, do everything in your extraordinary power to obstruct, and conduct secret meetings with America’s adversaries while undercutting America’s intelligence community, Justice Department, and allies?
Americans are smart enough to answer those questions and understand that Truth, Justice and the Constitution, that says no one is above the law, are not partisan issues.

Another gullible soul who fell for the canary trap of fake news…
Our resident hater, has again rubbed his hands together thinking his dream will come true. Angrily banging away at the typewriter thinking, “We finally got him” . Going on to gleefully pass on some of his deeply thought out hatred of our president……
Let’s see if you can be a man and correct yourself after the real story is, as usual it’s FAKE NEWS
“Americans are smart enough to answer those questions and understand that Truth, Justice and the Constitution, that says no one is above the law, are not partisan issues.”
This is why many don’t believe BuzzFeed, WaPo, NYT, MSNBC, CNN!
Others probably believed these stories…how did these work out for you ‘smart people’?
1. “BuzzFeed: Trump Ordered Michael Cohen to Lie to Congress About Russia Business Plans”
2. ABCNews “Flynn prepared to testify that Trump directed him to contact Russians about ISIS, confidant says”
3. “Rachel Maddow Live Stream: Watch Trump’s Taxes Get Revealed”
4. Business Insider “Democrats heighten calls for Trump’s impeachment after bombshell report that says he instructed Cohen to lie to Congress”
It’s just a new 2019 Twilight Zone episode!
Paul, Tom and John are living in the land of denial. Trump is incompetent, corrupt and greedy. His administration is a chaotic mess. Trump can’t find his a$$ with both hands — and can’t reach it, either
“Trump is incompetent, corrupt and greedy.”
OK…for an ‘incompetent, corrupt and greedy guy’…
1. Trump beat the smartest woman in the room who had 40 years political experience and a billion campaign budget
2. Trump got the tax bill approved and regulations slashed
3. Trump got 2 Supreme Court Justices and #3 is on the way
4. Pelosi’s trip, how did that go?
Just imagine what Pres Trump could accomplish if he was ‘competent, ethical, and charitable’? Hey??? (sarcasm)
How’s that BuzzFeed slam dunk impeachment thing progressing? Democrats come back from vacation to have the proceedings started?
“Trump can’t find his a$$ with both hands — and can’t reach it, either”
Responding to your comment without judgement…
Yet wasn’t Pres Trump derided for “Donald Trump On Getting Women: ‘Grab Them By The P..’”.
So he may have a mobility issue…he can reach forward but not backward. This is why bidets were invented.
George, you are being spoon fed exactly what the opinion outlets, (they are in no way unbiased news outlets) what you to believe, and you can’t seem to get enough. What has the presidents administration done to harm your daily life? The tax cuts are working, North Korea hasn’t sent up an rockets in a long while, China is caving on the trade tariffs, unemployment is at record lows….need more? Pelosi is a “badass”, “brilliant political move” and the praise went on as she tried to derail the State of the Union address, but as she and her cronies were leaving the country on a week of most likely 90% fun, while refusing to negotiate a bit about the shutdown, he shut her ability to fly on a military aircraft, he was treated entirely the opposite by those same opinion outlets. It’s a joke that is very disturbing. But I’m sure you don’t see it that way, because you are intolerant of anything that you don’t like. Isn’t that what the left wants though……tolerance?
