Why Can’t the President Speak for Himself:

There is doubt and suspicion over Donald Trump’s conduct before and after the 2016 Election.  Do we need answers to such a doubt and suspicion and my answer to such a question would be YES.  The easiest way forward to resolve the conduct of Mr. Trump is to have him testify  under oath before appropriate grand juries in either D.C. or New York.  I would also include Congressional Committees that have legitimate responsibility of oversight over the executive branch taking actions to resolve questions of culpability in proper Constitutional behavior by this Administration.  Do we understand what it means to have a liberal government and make note this is a lower case (l) and not the politicize view of a (L)?  A liberal government is one whose powers are limited by law guaranteeing specific rights to its citizens to preserve their individual civil and political rights.  I don’t think that a belief as this in a country such as ours would find serious disagreement with this premise.  We may disagree on policy and processes on how an egalitarian government ought to operate and guarantee rights to its citizens.  Yet, we must be careful that we don’t cross the line from a free egalitarian government to authoritarianism.
