Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Donald Trump is no musician but praised
Putin while his cronies hacked our elections and set up means to disrupt
our infrastructure. The Russians are now able to plunge us into
darkness and cause chaos in our systems. Trump finally spoke out against
Russian aggression but his action consisted mainly of words. The
sanctions he imposed were unanimously passed by Congress months ago
while Trump has made no attempt to implement them. Mueller is
investigating why Trump is so cozy with the Russians.
There also is a House Committee investigating Trump's ties to Russia.
The Republican part cleared Trump of all suspicions. The Democrats on
the Committee have strong evidence of illegal activities which the
Russians could use to blackmail Trump. Democrats are insisting their
Republican colleagues ignored potent leads in order to whitewash their
investigation.
Our country is clearly in danger. An investigation of Trump's disregard
of the dangers must proceed. Efforts to block Mueller's investigation
have been promoted by some Republicans while the Russians have gained a
position which could devastate the United States. Election Day in
November is not soon enough to vote every national Republican out of
office, starting with Congressman John Faso. We may be called upon
sooner to protect our democracy.
