Trump’s foreign involvement requires impeachment inquiry

October 15, 2019 by Guest Post

By George Corn, Hamilton

Trump is the creature our country’s founders warned us about. A corrupt, immoral president conspiring with foreign powers for personal gain and soliciting foreign interference in our elections for his benefit. In the Constitution the founders placed every obstacle they could to oppose “cabal, intrigue, and corruption.” This is because they knew from history that foreign powers would constantly seek to control our government and influence our “councils.” In particular they knew the president, as the sole chief executive, was the most likely target for foreign influence. Because, as expressed in Federalist No: 68: “How could they [foreign powers] better gratify this [their desire for influence] than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union.” As Donald Trump has shown us, how better indeed?  

We are a nation of laws. As Theodore Roosevelt famously proclaimed, “No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man’s permission when we require him to obey it.”  

Impeachment is the lawful constitutional process to address presidential corruption. An inquiry will determine its appropriateness. 

The time is now. Call our Congressional representatives. Demand they publicly support the impeachment inquiry.

    This opinion piece is just fantastic. Why? Because the media tells you what to think. If you think they don’t, then try a different channel. At some point you will realize that they are all saying the exact same story.

    We don’t have journalism in this country anymore (for the most part). If that’s where you are getting your information from, I have bad news for you.

    Go ahead, watch.. Just a compilation of our news networks and all their creative individual news reports.

    Spot on! Trump is unfit and a menace to our democracy. His words and actions fit the profile of 4 strong men who’ve come to power since WWII.

    The issue is not about being a Republican nor a Democrat! It’s about being an American who believes in our founding principles.

      Thank you Mr. Gates and Mr. Corn for your awareness of what is going on with this corrupt administration…The producers of Fox News and the right wing chatter are basically throwing our country to the Dictators.
