Reader’s Write: Trump’s impeachment and what it means for the future

The Island Now

Who could have predicted that in America we would have a president who tries to be an “absolute leader” much like in communist countries such as Russia, China or North Korea? Most of the senators and congressmen were afraid to vote against him, fearing retribution or loss of their positions.

If former President Clinton was found guilty by many of these same senators and congressmen for lying under oath about sex with an intern, how can they, in good conscience, find this president not guilty of his offenses against our country? In the future, what type of dirty politics will we see by both Republican and Democratic presidents if we permit this to happen now?

They are slowly destroying the checks and balances the fathers of our country meant for us to have.
