An Open Letter

To: Sen. Butler, Sen. Padilla, Rep. Gomez

From: A verified voter in Los Angeles, CA

May 8

Yesterday House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that Congress, on behalf of Donald Trump, is going to use every power available to him and his colleagues to nullify America’s court system. He said: “President Trump has done nothing wrong here and he continues to be the target of endless lawfare. It has to stop. And you’re gonna see the United States Congress address this in every possible way that we can, because we need accountability. All these cases need to be dropped, because they are a threat to our system.” Are you kidding me? “All these cases” (and potential future cases) include Trump: — Sharing secrets with Russia that burned US and US ally spies.  
—Inciting rebellion against the United States on January 6.  
—Running his businesses from the White House while multiple foreign governments poured cash into his properties in violation of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause.  
—Stealing national defense secrets from the White House, transporting them to Florida and New Jersey, and then lying to the FBI about them.  
—Raping and then threatening and defaming E. Jean Carroll.  
—Criminally obstructing investigations into his campaign’s ties to Russia.  
—Conspiring with Republicans in multiple states to defraud the American people with forged Electoral College certificates.  
—Threatening Georgia’s Secretary of State with criminal prosecution if he wouldn’t find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have.” 
—Violating campaign finance laws on multiple occasions.  
—Committing tax and insurance fraud. 
 —Extorting a foreign leader to manufacture dirt on his political opponent. If Speaker Johnson—or any member of Congress—thinks these cases should be dropped then he has abdicated all responsibility to the American people, broken his oath of office, and needs to step down. Americans want to see justice done. No one, absolutely no one, is above the law. Republicans must stop interfering with the justice system and allow these cases to play out. Thanks.
