“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that; I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
This is the oath that all elected
Federal officials take. The operative words in this oath are I
will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against
all enemies, foreign and domestic.
While watching the last two hearings in
Congress, one House of Representatives, and one Senate hearing, I
have come to the conclusion that many of the Congressman and Senators
have never thought about the oath they have taken, or if they have
they are blatantly disregarding it. During the hearings the
Republican Senators and Congressman for the most part didn't ask any
questions regarding the reason the hearings were being held. Russian
intrusion into our election is an attack against this country. The
intelligence committees say there is no question that the Russians
did it. The Republicans on the committees were only interested in
leaks or things that were not related to the inquiry in any form.
They paid lip service to the problem, but when it came to
investigate. Nothing!
If you are the President wouldn't you
want to see that this was investigated, of course that presumes that
you were not involved. The actions of the President and the Senators
and Congressman suggest they are involved in a cover up. The one
thing I know is that cover ups never stand. The truth will come out.
The Senators and Congressmen who are trying to deflect and obfuscate
are risking their careers and maybe even jail time. Hopefully it
doesn't come to that and these people come to their senses and try to
get to the bottom of this attack. All they have to do is follow the
oath that they swore.
