Opinion: Letter to the Editor: Press Needed More Than Ever

Dear Members of the Press:

We need you now more than ever. Republican Congressmen Jason Chaffetz and Devin Nunes quit their positions as chairmen of Congressional committees rather than have to investigate General Flynn, the Russian interference with our national elections, and the Russian involvement with the Trump administration. President Trump has fired New York’s U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, Attorney General Sally Yates and FBI Director James Comey, when they each turned up their investigatory heat. The American public is being given various explanations by various members of the Trump administration as to what’s going on. We need you now more than ever. Vice President Pence advocates for all of President Trump’s actions. Attorney General Sessions refuses to recuse himself. The prospect for an Independent prosecutor is tenuous. I hope the Senate Intelligence Committee stays strong. But we need you now more than ever. The President may call you names. He may call you “fake news” or “the enemy of the people.” But he can’t fire you. Thank goodness for the First Amendment. We need you now more than ever. Don’t let us down.
