Concern about Federal Tactics in Portland, OR & a Call for Impeachment

As a constituent, I am growing increasingly uneasy with how the Trump administration is handling peaceful protest in this country. We have already witnessed president Trump utilize tear gas on our own citizens to clear a path so that he could pose in front of a church with the Bible in his hand as a prop. (upside down even!) earlier in the summer Trump and Barr deployed supposedly federal officers who were not wearing any insignia and refused to say what agency they were part of to quell protests in DC. Now we are witnessing the same tactics in Portland Oregon and the Acting Secretary of DHS has told NPR they will use similar tactics around the county if they deem it necessary.
Let me be clear, free societies do not utilize secret police organizations against their citizens lawfully exercising their freedom to protest peacefully. What we are witnessing is fascism. The Trump administration is modeling itself after the Nazis in the 1930’s complete with an SA of their own. I am fearful that when he loses in November, Trump will not relinquish power.
This unconstitutional and unlawful use of unmarked federal agents against the citizenry must be condemned and it must be stopped. Further, I believe that it is important to call for Trump and Barr to be impeached. Impeaching Trump will guarantee that he cannot rum again in 2024. I’m preaching Barr is just the right thing to do.
There is substantial evidence that both Trump and Barr are in collusion with Roger Stone and the recent pardoning is a pardon if a crime that his actively being committed. This is beyond the scope of presidential pardon power which is limited to crimes that have already been committed.
I would like to see you introduce statements condemning what is happening in Portland as well as beginning impeachment inquiries into both Trump and Barr.
