LETTER: Trump’s lies starting to catch up to him

If we ever needed a special prosecutor now is the time. President Donald Trump’s convenient firing of FBI Director James Comey is more than suspicious. It is downright criminal. Firing the man in charge of the bureau investigating possible Trump collusion with Russia to rig the election in his favor screams that the investigation is getting close to the truth.

Trump and his minions say we should move on and forget about Russia. I say not. Trump’s Saturday Night massacre reminds one of Nixon. When the Watergate investigation was coming close to the truth, Nixon, under false pretenses, fired Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox. Those of us alive at the time may remember the consequences and Nixon’s ultimate resignation before he could be impeached.

LETTER: Trump should stop alienating world leaders

The truth has a way of catching up with you. Trump’s lies and deceit are coming back to haunt him now. Trump feels as president he is above the law. He is not. No one is. One only need look at the advisers Trump has parted ways with and their ties to the Russians. Where there is smoke there is fire.

Trump is Vladimir Putin’s boy and one can only imagine what Putin holds over his head. Perhaps when the Congress finally decides to put love of country first we shall see some results. Frankly, I am not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.
