Letter to the editor: Trump’s attack on Constitution justifies impeachment trial
Share
I read Jim Fossel’s Jan. 17 column about impeachment with interest since Fossel is an articulate advocate for conservative politics.
Like Mr. Fossel, I am concerned that a second impeachment trial of Donald Trump will divert attention and energy from the Biden-Harris plans for recovering from the pandemic and rebuilding our economy. But I reached my limit of tolerance for excusing or overlooking Trump’s outright savaging of our democracy and the rule of law when I watched him whip up his supporters on Jan. 6 and then saw the violence that ensued.
Another View: Senators should hold Trump to account
Columnist Jim Fossel is wrong to advise us to ignore the president’s incitement of a mob.

To be honest, I couldn’t finish Jim Fossel’s Jan. 17 column (“Impeachment will get in Biden’s way”). I was almost literally blind with rage.
Donald Trump incites an attempted fascist overthrow of our government, and Mr. Fossel thinks that we shouldn’t try to remove him? He’s never been held accountable his whole life. Congress needs to stand up and be counted, even if the attempt fails.
