Regarding “Attempt by Dems” (Letters, Dec. 6): It’s not surprising that defenders of this 45th president scoff at the contents of the House impeachment report. Not only are they OK with President Trump having demanded dirt on a political rival in exchange for foreign aid to Ukraine, but they are also fine with his attempts to intimidate witnesses and to stonewall Congress’ right to subpoena witnesses and documents. Frankly, it’s miraculous that the legislative branch can conduct any of its oversight of the executive branch since this president does everything possible to undermine our Constitution’s long-established system of governmental checks and balances.
