BACKGROUND:
Many Democrats fear an impeachment inquiry would help Trump in 2020. But Trump encouraged and benefited from the interference of a hostile foreign power to get elected in 2016. Every effort to increase election security is blocked by Mitch McConnell, who has tried to declare the Russian probe closed.
Trump has not only obstructed investigations into Russian interference. He is attacking the very agencies whose job it is to prevent foreign cyberattacks.
The Attorney General made a dishonest statement that the Mueller report exonerated Trump. Much of the public is confused or unaware of what the report actually contains.
House hearings this week hope to explain the security concerns raised in the Mueller report. But they can’t override Trump’s blanket order that all previous or current members of his administration refuse to comply with Congressional subpoenas. An impeachment inquiry would. They and Trump would have to answer questions before Congress and an undoubtedly large public audience.
If our elections cannot be secured by 2020, American voters may not determine the outcome. If those who protect foreign manipulation of our elections for their own benefit face no consequences, they will continue to do so.
Our democracy demands an impeachment inquiry now.
