OPINION:
Perhaps now even the anti-Trump Republicans can see the stress and problems the partisan divide has caused and continues to cause domestically and internationally. There is no question that the rogue leaders of the CIA, FBI and Department of Justice were out to prevent Donald J. Trump’s election success — and then, after he won anyway, remove him from office. They must be held accountable.
Congressional Democrats have created new legal standards: The accused is guilty and must prove his or her innocence. It calls to mind the Democrats’ fishing-expedition hearings in 2007, after they took back the House — legislation be damned, full speed ahead on finding crimes that don’t exist.
President Trump is trying to deal with China, Iran, Russia and Syria, as well as the Hamas and Hezbollah threats to Israel, our ally. We need unified congressional support to resolve these issues, and partisan criticism for political purposes is not the answer. Our citizens deserve better — and so do our allies and those seeking a better life and freedom from dictators.
