Friend:
Yesterday, Mueller stood in front of Congress to deliver a simple message to the American people: “Trump was NOT exonerated.”
It is clear to everyone paying attention that Trump obstructed justice. He tried to fire Mueller, he lied to the American people, and he engaged in a propagandic misinformation campaign to convince voters that the whole ordeal was a “witch hunt”.
In the United States of America, no one should be above the law — even the wealthy and powerful, and especially the President.
It is clear that Donald Trump broke the law and obstructed justice. If we refuse to start impeachment hearings just because it would be hard, then we set a precedent that if you have enough power, the rules don’t apply to you.
Delaying impeachment only emboldens Trump — and as we can see, the longer we delay, the more he claims that a lack of impeachment exonerates him.
It’s time to uphold the rule of law and our Constitution. It’s time to impeach.
Pa'lante,
