Donald Trump is keeping himself out of prison by running for president! WWWTP?

Echo opinion letter published in Bakersfield.com, a California newspaper serving Houses Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (Republican) Congressional district (California District 20:  Bakersfield, Clovis, Frazier Park, Hanford, Kernville, Lake Isabella, Lemoore, Mojave, Ridgecrest, Taft, Tehachapi, and Visalia)

Trump cult parade

To the Editor:  As hard as I have tried, it is impossible for me to understand, ever since he actually got elected president in 2016, what it is that allows people to just completely ignore all of the crimes Donald Trump has been suspected of committing for years. 

Donald Trump is a bully and no matter what he does, that would see any of the rest of us average citizens in jail years ago.

The only reason Donald J. Trump is running for president again is he thinks it will keep him out of jail. I do not understand how (the Trump cult victims) Kevin McCarthy can say the things he says with a straight face. 

Trumpziism will destroy America. Trump must be stopped!

McCarthy and his right wing Republican Congress don't care about really getting any important work done for their constituents. Instead, they are wasting our tax dollars on investigations such as the weaponization of the Department of Justice.

The fact is this:  The only administration that has ever tried to control the DOJ is the Trump administration! During his time in office, Kevin McCarthy and all the rest of the Republican Party allowed him to get away with anything he did. No matter what he did and the clear evidence of his guilt, they let him off every time and after what he did on January 6, 2021.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy should tell us: Did he or did he not swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States, not the Constitution of Donald J. Trump?

They keep saying this is all unprecedented. Well, that makes total sense since America has never had a person like Trump for president until Trump.
