As a conservative, I believe the government and those who lead it should adhere to certain principles of integrity. From information made public during the impeachment inquiry, it appears those principles have been violated.
The people of this country deserve to know what has gone on in this White House that may not square with upholding the Constitution. We have the right to hear from the key people who were involved in making policy about Ukraine and carrying it out.
The president likes to claim “executive privilege.” I do not see that in the Constitution. It is a shaky excuse for withholding information from Congress, and absolutely no excuse for keeping the truth from us. When elected leaders who swear loyalty to the Constitution try to keep us from hearing the facts, it is as though they are saying they do not trust us to make informed decisions on our own.
They are saying, “Don’t get all worked up about these matters, just let us take care of them.” As a citizen, I want more than that. I want to hear testimony from the people who were involved in the Ukraine situation and be able to weigh the truth for myself.
