Dear President Pence (an office you will inevitably fill),
Do not follow in the footsteps of your former boss. Do not pardon him, his family or any of his staff as they become targets and defendants of federal prosecution. Their criminal activities occurred before and during his election to the presidency. They all participated with full knowledge of what they were doing when they did it.
While I am a Democrat, I have more respect for you than I ever did for him. You can at least lead the country instead of rule over it like the king he thinks he is. If you follow his lead then you will be putting yourself in the same hole he has dug for himself, and our country will suffer an additional three years of disgrace and division.
President Pence, you will be looked to as a leader and not as another reincarnation of what we are suffering now.
Steve Hall, Hillsboro
