Dear Rep.Michael McCaul:
I have watched every minute of the U. S. House impeachment
investigation hearings, some of it several times. I have taken notes and
compared earlier testimony and later testimony, one witness in context with
another. I have listened to opening and closing statements by Committee
Chairman Adam Schiff and Ranking Member Devin Nunes. I have listened carefully
to each round of questioning. I considered all this information in the context
of being equivalent to a grand jury investigation, not as a trial.
It is my fervent prayer that you have done the same. I
believe that as ranking member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and
representative of a large and varied district in Texas, that was your duty. I
see in your biography that you are a parent, and I assume you are as I am, a
grandparent. Your duty to their future is at least as great as your duty to
your current constituents. Your duty to both of those and to your oath to
faithfully defend the Constitution is far, FAR greater than to any political
party.
My conclusion, after such extensive due diligence, is that
there is more than enough evidence to charge the president with at least three
high crimes and misdemeanors: Bribery (in the Constitutional sense), abuse of power
in attempting to corrupt our election process with foreign interference; and obstruction
or contempt of Congress. There also may be more charges arising from the other
committees and from Robert Mueller’s investigation that should be included in
the Articles of Impeachment. As your constituent, I ask you to vote in favor of
adopting these Articles of Impeachment and send them to the Senate for trial.
What played out before the nation over the last two weeks concerns
me greatly. The nastiness and casual regard for the truth displayed,
particularly by representatives Nunes and Jordan, and at times my former
representative John Ratcliffe, horrified me. While issues of Joe and Hunter
Biden and Burisma might be legitimate fodder for further investigation, they
have absolutely NOTHING to do with the president’s guilt or innocence of the
charges I have stated. And any such investigation should be performed by the
U.S. justice system, not a foreign country. Please show the sophistication of
thought I believe you as a lawyer are capable and separate these red herrings
from the very real Constitutional issues currently before the U.S. House of
Representatives.
Respectfully,
Kathy Williams
