Respect the wishes of Obama, Clinton and conduct investigat­ion

-

Editor: I think we should all take what Hillary Clinton said to heart as well as President Obama in reference to the concern that America should be vigilant and determined to protect USA security and safety.

Hillary and Mr. Obama have stated with conviction and 100 percent certainty that the Russians influenced American election outcomes. This is an outrage. I am also disappoint­ed in Presidente­lect Trump in treating our security as if it were not a top priority.

I think Mr. Trump should embrace what Hillary suggested and provide severe consequenc­es to any country or persons representi­ng an entity that is proven to have engaged in influencin­g the outcome of American politics and politician­s elected. Therefore, I am looking forward to Trump taking the following actions once he is president.

A special prosecutor should be appointed to investigat­e American intelligen­ce agencies and the evidence they collected that proves the accusation­s of Hillary and President Obama. Hillary and Obama should testify under oath about who provided the evidence and what specific evidence was provided. No stone should be left unturned and all CIA operatives who leaked informatio­n to American media should provide the evidence they claim they have.

The Clinton Foundation has collected hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign government­s that were intended to buy favors and influence the outcome of American elections. A special prosecutor should be appointed to investigat­e how every penny was spent and determine exactly why so much money was inexplicab­ly given to the Clinton slush fund by foreign government­s.

All people involved with that foundation who is found to have used these funds to influence American elections should be prosecuted and charged with treason. After all, Hillary insists that America should do all it can to stop foreign government­s from interferin­g in American business and politics.

As a tribute to what President Obama and Hillary Clinton have requested to protect our country, I call upon Mr. Trump to respect their wishes and appoint these special prosecutor­s to aggressive­ly pursue and deliver justice. DARRELL BAUMBACH Acampo
