Comment
After benefiting from Russian help in the 2016 election,
President Trump corruptly sought
Ukrainian help to find political dirt on Joe Biden. We are lucky that there are
people in the government who believe in the rule of law rather than in the rule
of Trump. To quote a British M.P., “Where the law ends, tyranny begins.”
The 10/4/19 Washington Post later notes,
“…the record shows that Mr. Trump and his retainers kept raising their demands
(of Ukraine), like a casino developer squeezing a plumbing contractor.”
Many of his supporters retort to the increasing stream of
revelations, “Not true”, “Fake News.” We hope they will not remain impervious
to the truth, because on that depends the real solutions to our real world challenges. Truth, former ambassador James
Melville says, is the fundamental way the West governs.*
“If we can’t think for ourselves, if we’re unwilling to question authority,
then we’re just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are
educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us.”**
