Trump Tries To Bully The Congress

A president who respects democracy and the rule of law does not say this to the legislature:

An economic miracle is taking place in the United States — and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations. If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn’t work that way! [Emphasis added.]

Especially when the investigations are not partisan and have netted a half dozen guilty pleas (and one conviction) so far. And especially when all that guilt is pointing in one direction - upwards to Trump, his family and his various organizations.

• Washington Post
• AP

Happy Wednesday
