To the editor:

I agree 100% with House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff about the need to remove Trump from office.

I am pleased and honored to live in California’s 28th Congressional District and to have met Schiff on numerous occasions. His closing remarks in the Senate were passionate, eloquent and persuasive, and they summed up the case against Trump very well.

Schiff is right: Our country has suffered and will continue to suffer as long as Trump is in office. The repairs that will need to be undertaken once his administration is gone will take years, if not decades, to work.

I hope we as a country can unite and persevere to overcome Trump’s execrable legacy.

Fred Barker, Burbank

Note from KBJ: Trump's legacy as the greatest president is secure, Fred.
