Thank you, Katie Nelson for taking a stand on one of the most obvious ironies of our time ("Trump's different standard: Letter to the editor," Dec. 1).
While media gods, film industry moguls and other elected officials are paying the consequences of unconscionable actions against women, President Trump gets a pass?
More than a dozen women have had the courage to step into the glaring spotlight and detail the instances during which Trump allegedly made them feel like victims. I, and countless other women around the world, want to know why he is not being investigated. Is the feeling of our male-dominated houses of Congress and Senate, "Looks like he might get us through the Russia investigation, no need to pursue this other ugly thing?"
Or are they afraid pursuing this matter via special counsel might give sufficient courage to the women who have yet to step forward?
To those who have the power to enforce an investigation and have yet to do so, I ask: If the complainant was your wife, sister, daughter or mother would this affect your decision? Sexual predators must be held accountable. Failure to punish the perpetrator is equivalent to condoning the crime.
An investigation into sexual assault allegations against Trump, indictment and consequent punishment for any confirmed misconduct would be a good start.
