Donald Trump failed to present any evidence to defend his impeachment

To the editor of the Los Angeles Times:

Opinion echo:  Donald Trump spent time and effort on a six-page (incohesive!) letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) complaining about the (wrong minded!) unfairness of the impeachment process. 

In fact, Trump failed to present any exculpatory evidence, witnesses or documents, and he believes that his “perfect” (ugh!) July 25, phone call with Ukraine’s president  Volodymyr Zelensky, should be proof of his innocence. (But there is no proof!)

The impeachment hearings were partisan, because the Republicans turned a blind eye to the president’s abuse of power. But this in itself is not sufficient to clear this president of gross corruption.

The impeachment inquiry did not commence until the uncontested facts were revealed that Trump sought to persuade a foreign country to interfere in the U.S. election by withholding congressionally allocated military aide. Neither hatred of Trump nor anger over the 2016, election has anything to do with this impeachment, since it was the president’s actions on Ukraine that started it.
