After he was impeached, Trump began to abuse his powers and obstruct justice constantly. He should have been impeached once again, but no one in Washington, Republican or Democrat, has the courage to do the right thing. Trump is a criminal: the ‘Don’ of the Washington Mafia, and our elected officials nor the mainstream media is saying anything.

Who can the American people trust today? No one. We are alone and fascism is replacing democracy in America.

Trump’s latest attempts to obstruct justice and abuse his powers involve the coronavirus, and the incarceration of his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

Congress has launched an investigation into Trump’s failure to take action when he was informed of a possible pandemic months before the virus invaded America. He is preventing Doctor Anthony Fauci from testifying. This is a violation of the Constitution, and an impeachable offense.

Michael Cohen received notice that he would be released from prison and placed on house arrest. White House aides reported Trump’s rage when he was informed. When he learned that Cohen planned to release a ‘tell-all’ book about his relationship with Trump, he threw a tantrum. The Bureau of Corrections is reporting that Trump ordered Cohen to remain in prison, another abuse of his power as our nation’s illegitimate president.

Charles Harder, the attorney representing the Trump Organization, writes that Cohen signed a non-disclosure agreement when he joined the Trump Organization and thus it would prohibit him from disclosing certain information about the president, his family and the company.

Trump continues to hide his tax returns, and now is fearful of the truth if Cohen releases his book. The truth cannot harm anyone unless they are guilty, period. Only those who are guilty of crimes demand secrecy.

Today our nation has a criminal living in the White House. If you are not ashamed and embarrassed by this fact, you are not an American.
