Former U.S. Rep. Tom Coleman made many great points in his May 23 op-ed about the illegitimacy of the president and vice president. (11A, “Trump, Pence are illegitimate; they must go”) In fact, there are too many good points, and we cannot ignore them.
We know President Donald Trump is willing to open classified files on his own “witch hunt” of those who started the investigations into his alleged misdeeds. Our enemies and even friends don’t need to see all of our secrets. Will Attorney General William Barr be complicit in this scheme?
Some have said we should vote Trump out of office rather than impeach him. How many secrets will be revealed and other problems created before he leaves office? We are now giving farmers billions of dollars because of Trump’s misguided trade practices. Will we go to war to distract from something Trump doesn’t want us to see in his own record?
