Setting aside fairness

I’m not sure whether the ostrich burying its head in the sand or the monkey who sees no evil or hears no evil is the more appropriate way to characterize Jim Wavada’s letter in the Spokesman-Review (“GOP, what is enough?,” Dec. 18).

Does he not recall that the Mueller Report (which was supposed to expose all manner of collusion with Russia on the part of the president) found nothing? Now it is conveniently overlooked by the liberal/Democrat/socialist impeachers. Furthermore, was he not aware that a judge from the FISA Court just issued a scathing denouncement of the FBI’s leadership who fraudulently presented (or failed to present) “evidence” to secure the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign? (By the way, the only time I’ve heard the president speak negatively about the FBI has been in reference to the corrupt leadership - Comey, Page, Strzok. et al. - not the rank and file.)

The real danger here is the manner in which the House has conducted a literal “kangaroo court,” setting aside any pretense of fairness in this wholly partisan attempt to undo the will of the American people who elected this president. They have wasted three years and been derelict in the duties they were elected to perform while obsessing on their hate-fueled vendetta to remove the president.

When is enough, enough? Good question.
