No one is above the law
To the Editor:
The late great singer Kenny Rogers recorded many songs written by other artists. Yet, he wrote one very powerful song. The title: “Sweet Music Man.” This was before the Donald Trump era, but, it evokes emotions about the man and the fraud he has foisted on America.
Here’s the chorus (sung by many who now see the real Trump rather than the image): “Sing a song, sweet music man ‘cause I won’t be there to hold your hand like I used to. I’m through with you. You’re a hell of a singer and a powerful man but you surround yourself with people who demand so little of you.”
The January 6 Capitol riot forced many erstwhile Trump supporters to see the light. They are now providing truthful information to the Select Committee. Some are doing so to protect democracy; some merely to protect their rear ends.
Now, we are beginning to see some evidence that the Department of Justice is actively looking at that dark day in our history. It does not take a rocket scientist to foresee the outcome.
These questions loom, though: will the Department of Justice follow the law and hold Donald Trump accountable for his illegal actions surrounding that fateful day? Or, will they allow Donald Trump to ride above the law?
