Letter: Do Trump’s tax returns show ties to Russia?
Op-Ed · January 19, 2017


Donald Trump presents himself as a man that in satisfaction of nothing more than whim will disrupt anything he cares to.
And in the face of the cowardice of some congressional members of the Republican Party that Trump hijacked, an unfettered Trump is capable of making a total shambles of our democratic way of life.

If not now, when will members of the Congress of the United States of America join together in showing any courage to duty? At this moment in service to his own pleasure Trump declines to produce tax returns that may or may not reveal information cogent to the hostile actions of Russia interfering in the sovereign exercise of power of the American electorate.

Trump forthwith should be given notice by the leaders of Congress that his refusal to turn over his tax returns constitutes withholding of information of investigative concern in the matter of Russia having tampered in the American people’s election of their president and that further withholding of potential evidence constitutes a high crime and misdemeanor for which he will be impeached and removed from office.

Neither he nor anyone else is above the law and even the slightest cover-up in impediment to the establishment of fact is an egregious abuse of power.
