Interview in the Oval Office
George Stephanopoulos’ Oval Office interview with President Trump is going viral. For the first time in history an American president sees nothing wrong with a candidate for public office accepting a foreign government’s dirt on an opponent.
Oaths of office
Every member of Congress knows that’s illegal. However how wide the chasm between Republicans and Democrats on this president or the Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election (“Mueller Report”), there should be no question about this one. President Trump handed Congress an issue on which its members are sworn to act. Either the President was ignorant of the federal law that protects the integrity of the American electoral system or he was consciously defying the rule of law.

I am too, Marilyn. Both my parents left 10 years before they died. A very good friend from way back hasn’t broken with his family’s Republican tradition but he can’t stand you know who. BTW, he’s a lawyer. Come to think of it, I owe him a call.

There *are* some “old-fashioned” Republicans left; unfortunately, only one of them is in Congress.

I was thinking of Justin Amash, who has called for impeachment. That’s his only opinion with which I agree, but he obviously has, to that extent, a conscience.

It’s encouraging isn’t it? Thanks for helping readers remember Amash. He is now person non grata.
