Time for a Special Prosecutor or other Independent Investigator

5/10/2017

I have done my best to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt.  Now it is clear to me that he is using his power inappropriately--to undermine the constitutional processes of our government--by firing the Director of the FBI in the face of the ongoing investigation into his administration's possible misconduct. It is time for all of us to raise our voices and demand that our senators and representatives in Congress do their jobs, provide a mechanism for investigating the various allegations about the Trump administration that are undermining the faith and confidence of the American people in their government, and stop playing partisan politics.

The legislative branch is supposed to be the check and balance when one of the other branches of government uses its authority inappropriately.  Key members of Congress, like the current chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Jason Chaffetz, are shirking their duty to defend the Constitution.  We must all email, call and write our Members of Congress to demand the appointment of an independent prosecutor to provide the accountability that Congress seems unable to provide.
