To the editor:

With still another lie discredited, the Justice Department inspector general’s report that found no partisan bias in the FBI’s Russia investigation gives us an opportunity to balance what we know about the people caught up in this.

On one side are real patriots who have dedicated their careers to serving this country. These include ambassadors and military officers who have shared their accounts of this administration’s misconduct even though they have nothing to gain politically because they are not politicians.

On the other side we have a president who has lied literally thousands of times, a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee who was once caught in a phony rush to the White House to share information that he had “found,” and an attorney general that refuses to believe his own Justice Department’s findings because they do not help the president.

It is clear that Republicans are interested only in holding onto power, not governing.
