Help Protect Against Domestic Enemies

Rep. Van Hollen:

It is time for the representatives we elected to congress to perform their constitutional oversight functions and deal with the revelations of an executive branch that is out of control. As an attorney, you should know that the willful destruction of evidence is a violation of the law and those responsible should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

This means that EVERYONE involved must be investigated and, if the evidence suggests, prosecuted including Speaker Nancy Pellosi's involvement. It does not take having a law degree to understand that if you have knowledge that a crime has occurred, that not saying anything makes you an accomplice in that crime. If that is the case, then ALL members of congress who were involved must be investigated.

At the beginning of your service in the House of Representatives, you took an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic." Committing a crime using the mechanisms of the government of the United States is minimally disrespecting the constitution that this nation holds as its core values. It is time that you and your colleagues in the House of Representatives show your commitment to your oath and defend the constitution from domestic enemies.

A Constituent
