Vote Blue in 2020- stop the Trump litany of lies

Letter to the Editor | Donald Trump betrayed the U.S.
05/03/2019 The News-Gazette

With release of Robert Mueller's report, there's speculation about what Democrats will do to hold Donald Trump accountable for his litany of lies.  In fact, 10,000 lies.

Will Democrats make a decision to impeach? 

Or, will Democrats ride it out until the 2020 election?

Democrats hold the majority in the House, where impeachment would begin, but it's not about what Democrats should do. The more relevant question is what should we, as Americans, do about a president who considers himself above the law and who betrayed his country?

Mueller's report clearly shows that Donald Trump and his campaign associates welcomed interference in the 2016 election from a foreign power for their own benefit. And then they lied about it. Repeatedly. The president also ordered staff and aides to carry out illegal acts to obfuscate investigators. And they repeatedly lied about that too.

According to the Robert Mueller report about Russian interference in the 2016 election, we can be thankful that some of Trump's aides and staff refused those illegal orders.

Mueller stopped short of actually indicting the president because he believed that was not his job. 

Nevertheless, Mueller did present a clear case that candidate and potus Trump willfully acted in bad faith to (illegally) attain the presidency.
