Make sure you get a good lawyer, Trump

The fact is that if one inquires on any

controversial issue, 100 lawyers would more than likely offer 100 viewpoints, whereas the average individual (with modest intelligence and basic common sense) would see the obvious.

However, during James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Republicans started backsliding in order to give cover to President Trump. And honestly, Sen. John McCain’s incoherent questioning and ramblings were difficult to watch, but he echoed some of the partisan insanity on the right. To the reasonable observer, Trump tried to impede the Russian investigation with unlawful influence, which by definition is “obstruction” — cased closed.

But even more disturbing is the “leadership” in the Republican Party. Anyone who works for or defends Trump has to relinquish his moral judgment to survive in the chaos. The absurd opining of Trump surrogates, i.e. White House Communications Director Jason Miller, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, spokesperson Kellyanne Conway and others is nauseatingly agonizing for fair-minded viewers. Moreover, the assertions of Marc Kasowitz (Trump’s attorney) that Comey illegally leaked information are the most outrageous nonsensical argument so far, but this attorney is known for his flamboyant hyperbole. Again, as Trump often does, it is merely an attempt to deflect from the real story of collusion and obstruction.

Now we are expected to believe an honorable man like Comey is lying and a president who lies every single day is telling the truth. What planet are Trump loyalists living on?

Anyone who has closely followed the Trump demagoguery and defamations of good men’s and women’s character over the last two years assuredly would be incredulous at Trump’s political pundit’s ludicrous narratives.

And that’s why Comey wrote about his encounters with Trump right afterwards. Because Trump has a way of discarding the truth and substituting his own beliefs. Sooner or later, Fox News and the GOP are going to meet up with the reality that there are consequences for dishonesty and disseminating false interpretations of facts. James L. Nobles Zebulon, Ga.
