The Mueller report confirmed that 45 abused his authority, violated the law, and tried repeatedly to obstruct justice. President Trump has now been accused by a whistleblower of asking Ukrainian leaders to interfere with our election system by digging up dirt on his political opponents for his own gain, and then admitted — on camera — that the call took place. This has been corroborated by very credible State Department, National Security Agency and Pentagon officials. All of these activities are impeachable offenses.
Every member of Congress should be on the record in support of an impeachment inquiry. Unfortunately, our representative, Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, lacked the fortitude to see this through in her recent vote.
I would like to remind Rep. Herrera Beutler of her oath to defend the Constitution. She will have a chance to redeem herself by voting to impeach when it comes to the House floor. Remember that if Congress does nothing, then our Constitution means nothing, and our democracy means nothing.
Her constituents are watching.
