To the editor:

Republicans in the Senate don’t want witnesses. Are they afraid of the truth?

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says “public opinion will crush the Democrats” as the House delays releasing its articles of impeachment to insist on witnesses. He is wrong. According to polls Republicans favor witnesses 2 to 1.

Trump won in 2016 with help from Russia. Could he have won without help? We will never know. Do we want him to be elected again only because of foreign help? No.

It looks like Trump knows he cannot win a fair election. He should be told that he will be impeached again if he accepts illegal foreign assistance. This is a democracy, and we deserve a fair and free election.
