FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | FEBRUARY 6, 2020 “Senate Republicans said yesterday that Trump is above the law and that we are a nation of men and women, not laws.” The blind loyalty shown by Republican Senators, with the exception of Senator Mitt Romney, in acquitting President Trump yesterday tells us all that Senate Republicans […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | JANUARY 30, 2020 “We had a revolution to get rid of a king. The Senate Republicans are about to go on record to say that the Founders got that wrong.” Donald Trump seemed to be the only person in the United States who believed, “I have the right to do […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | JANUARY 23, 2020 “History will record the enormous damage done to our democracy and our country by President Trump and by the congressional Republicans who gave license to Trump’s past and future attempts to rig the 2020 presidential election.” The “meticulous and scathing” presentation yesterday by House Intelligence Committee Chair […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | JANUARY 16, 2020 An interview by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and a campaign spending decision by Michael Bloomberg could have a profound impact on Donald Trump’s presidency and his race for a second term.

FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | JANUARY 9, 2020 “It is clear beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump is guilty as charged and unfit to serve as President.” The Senate is likely to begin the impeachment trial of President Trump soon.

Senator Murkowski (R-AK) is also a courageous, independent-minded Senator who has been willing to break with President Trump, […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | DECEMBER 19, 2019 “The arrogance and disdain for the American people reflected in McConnell’s turning over the Senate impeachment trial to the very subject of the trial, President Trump, is stunningly irresponsible.” Yesterday, President Trump became the third President in the history of the United States to be impeached. He […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | DECEMBER 12, 2019 “William Barr will likely go down as the worst Attorney General in U.S. history.” As President Trump heads for impeachment next week, it is clear beyond any reasonable doubt that he is unfit to serve. So is his rogue Attorney General, Bill Barr. Barr made clear from […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | DECEMBER 5, 2019 “President Trump must be held accountable through impeachment for his indefensible, irresponsible conduct.
