President Trump, stop the obstruction

President Trump, stop the obstruction

To the Editor:

Donald Trump has already obstructed justice in the Russian election interference investigation. 

Number one, he has failed/refused to establish a bipartisan commission similar to the 911 Commission to determine what happened, how it happened and how to prevent further interference. Number two, he has repeatedly attempted to discredit the Mueller investigation.

Oddly, Trump may eventually be exonerated by the Mueller investigation. However, his premature and false claims that he has been exonerated only make it appear that he has something that he does not want made public. Let the facts of the Mueller investigation show his innocence or guilt in this matter.

The American people (Democrats, Republicans and Independents) need their election system “fire-walled” against Russia as well as any other entity.

Don’t you think it is about time for our leaders in Washington to stop this obstruction?
