Letter: Trump not exonerated

I read a lot of inaccurate letters to the editor, but just couldn’t let this pass muster: “Wow. Your far-left political bias right on the front page. What a surprise!” (“Headline shows bias,” Our Readers’ Views, July 29.)

From the Mueller report: “At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude the president committed a crime, it does not exonerate him.” (Volume II, page 204).

Enough misinformation.

We encourage readers to express their views about public issues. Letters to the editor are subject to editing for brevity and clarity. Limit letters to 200 words (100 words if endorsing or opposing a political candidate or ballot measure) and allow 30 days between submissions. Send Us a Letter
