Dear Mr. President,
Hmmm...interesting plot twists here...the NY Times is
reporting that Director Comey asked for more money in his budget to investigate
your Russian connections. Then a few
days later you fired him. Rotten timing,
huh? Probably just a coincidence,
huh? Then there's this other weird
coincidence, apparently senior officials at the White House (including Jeff
Sessions who shouldn't have been involved in ANY way because he had already recused
himself from this investigation) were asked by YOU to create a case for firing
Comey. They were told to gather
information, come up with plausible reasons, so that you could fire him and
make it look legit. And I watched how
that played out yesterday because every time I saw one of your toadies speaking
about this they repeated over and over (and over and over) that you were
"simply endorsing the recommendation of the AG's office". As if this had practically nothing to do with
you and you just rubber-stamped what was a common place occurrence. As if you had no idea that this was a big deal
thing happening at a very significant and suspicious time. As if it was just another day at the
office. Come on! Nobody is that stupid.
I think you are going to be hearing the term
"Constitutional Crisis" a lot in the next few weeks. And since you've never held an elected office
before you might not know what that means exactly so I will keep this as simple
as I can: it means people want to
impeach you. It means you seem unable to
operate the government in a way compatible with the legal principles of our
Constitution. It means you (and by extension your entire administration) are in
a world of trouble. So when you start
hearing that term remember that you heard it here first and that you are pretty
much screwed.
The good news is that there is a simple, quick, and
inexpensive solution to this problem.
You could just show the world your taxes so that everyone can see
whether or not you have benefited financially (or otherwise) from the Russian
government. As you said, this is a
"taxpayer funded charade" and speaking as a taxpayer, I would dearly
love to see a cheap solution to this mess.
Federal prosecutors are even now preparing subpoenas for Flynn and his
associates which takes time, money and energy away from the REAL work of the
government.
You have tied up the resources and effective working of this
country long enough. While being
divisive and incompetent is merely bad, taking payments and financial benefits
from foreign nations is actually illegal. So either face a criminal investigation
by a special prosecutor or get out of the way so the government can do the work
of the PEOPLE.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton, taxpayer
Hear, hear!
