Donald Trump and maga Republicans must end this Trumpian political nightmare. Europe is a lead example!

Opinion echo letter published in the Boston GlobeEurope punishes those in the Epstein files Why won’t America

In reading about how the Europeans
🙏are handling the fallout from the Epstein files (“Epstein revelations topple some top figures in Europe,” Nation/World, Feb. 8), I’m struck by how they are willing to hold accountable and prosecute those with the greatest influence.

This is such an unfortunate contrast to what’s happening here in the United States. We have a Donald Trump, whose name appears frequently in the files (too numerous to count, mostly redacted) and who was a known friend of Epstein’s for many years. With the help of his partisan and rabidly obsequious attorney general, his administration is shielding rather than prosecuting the guilty.

Recently, I read about the life sentence meted out to the former president of South Korea because he is guilty of fomenting rebellion. Instead of doing the same here, we re-elect an insurrectionist, an admitted molester of women, a fraudster who had to pay a $25 million settlement because he ripped off people who paid to be enrolled in his so-called university, and, on top of all that, a convicted felon.

These same people try to denigrate Europeans and their so-called failed political systems. Perhaps they could learn something from countries that try to protect the less fortunate and hold to account those in high places.


We now know that at least one member of his Cabinet, Howard Lutnick, and a host of donors were aslo involved with Epstein. 

If there are any self-respecting Republicans left, when are they going to hold their leader Donald Trump accountable Their leader is gleefully enriching himself and his money-grabbing family.

Have any of them heard of the emoluments clauses
Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution, prohibits federal officeholders from accepting gifts, payments, or titles from foreign states
