Impatiently waiting for Donald Trump’s reckoning

Dear Attorney General Merrick B. Garland,

I’m concerned and baffled by a long-awaited indictment of former President Donald Joseph Trump. As a teacher of government and economics for the last 15 years of my 42-year career, I taught my students that no one is above the law.

Trump has broken numerous laws and is ethically and potentially a danger to the Republic. In his four years in office, he used a foreign adversary, Vladimir Putin’s corrupt Russian government, to use its computer expertise to rig our presidential election. (The Mueller Report gives evidence of this.)

Additionally, Trump and his close-knit henchman possibly tried to cover this up by obstruction 10 times.

The American taxpayers paid for the Mueller Report, so why is the testimony from the grand jury not made available to the public? Have we become the Soviet Union all of sudden?

Trump tried to rig the 2020 election, even calling a secretary of State, begging him to find some votes. It’s on tape and an indictment should’ve followed.

The bipartisan Jan. 6 Committee has asked you to indict Steve Bannon for contempt. You can either strengthen or weaken the legislative branch’s power to enforce subpoenas.

I fought in Vietnam, never questioning my duty to this country. I later was a social-studies teacher for four decades. My knowledge of the Constitution and my love for it became reasons to relay all that is good in our republic to my students.

However, the values that I hold dear have crumbled over the last four years.

The Republic’s future is in your hands. Voters need to be protected from unconstitutional state legislation to rig elections.
