FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | August 16, 2018 “President Trump likes to talk about his base, but the reality is that the President’s base is a distinct minority of Americans.” President Trump has been acting in recent days as a manic, panicked president. Trump revokes John Brennan’s security clearance in an unprecedented action to punish […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | August 10, 2018 “Since he became President, Trump has presided over the most corrupt and unethical administration in modern memory.” Yesterday, Representative Chris Collins (R-NY) was indicted for violating insider trading rules. A very powerful case was spelled out against him in the indictment. This week also saw a detailed […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | August 2, 2018 “It is essential that both Mueller and Rosenstein be forcefully defended at every step of the way.” President Trump has hit the panic button.

FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | JUNE 21, 2018 “President Trump believes he can do anything, to anyone, at any time. His recent subhuman treatment of immigrant children is but one example of his persistent efforts to inflict pain and divide the nation.“ There are both parallels and stark differences between the Watergate scandals of the […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | JUNE 14, 2018 “It is simply Orwellian to say that the IG report, which shows that Comey broke the DOJ rules in ways that hurt Clinton and helped Trump, is evidence that Mueller’s investigation should never have been started and should now be ended.” The Department of Justice Inspector General’s […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | JUNE 7, 2018 “President Trump must not be permitted to thwart the rule of law, a foundational principle of our country.
