To the editor:
President Trump and some of his allies keep saying that impeachment is a coup. There may be a kind of coup going on, but it is by him and his followers.
Think about it. He won’t produce any information demanded by Congress. He won’t let anyone working for him talk to Congress.
More importantly, Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is in a position where he could have the president acquitted almost immediately. Atty. Gen. William Barr won’t allow investigations aside from the ones that Trump wants. The judiciary is being stacked with judges who favor the president.
Our government is being turned into a rubber stamp for Trump.
