In response to the May 18 letter “Tired of Russia, Etc.”: The writer is sick of hearing bad things about President Donald Trump. She asks, “Why are we still hearing about the Russia probe?” We are hearing about it because it is an ongoing investigation into the Russian influence on our election process.
She asks why all this money was spent for so long to find nothing. First, it has not been that long considering past investigations, and the cost, so far, is less than what has been spent for other investigations. Second, when investigations are being conducted, the investigators do not disclose what they know—just watch “Law and Order.” Why do the Trump supporters think they would be told information during the investigation? People who break the law always plead innocence until the evidence proves otherwise; thus, there are the five guilty pleas and 17 indictments. When the investigation is complete and conclusions can be made, we will find out.
She is sick of hearing about the stripper. It is not about Mr. Trump’s relationship with her. If campaign laws were broken to silence the stripper, that’s a problem.
Finally, the writer wants everyone to give the president a chance to make America great again. That is an even bigger problem. No matter how many lies he tells, his policies are bad for America. The writer is sick of hearing these terrible things about the president. I am sick of those whose heads are in the sand and refuse to see the damage this president and his cronies are having on our democracy.
