Yesterday Trump charged that the Russia investigation was an "attempted coup, an attempted takedown of the President" and he "knew how illegal the whole thing was."
Trump has been lying his head off for 2-1/2 years without consequence. Trump has gotten away with his lying because he has not been forced to tell the truth under penalties of perjury.
Yesterday's charges by Trump that there was an "attempted coup" against him is as serious charge of criminality, if not treason, that the President could make against his political opposition. Further, millions of Americans believe such charges are true, and this threatens the stability of the country.
The President of the United States is the highest public servant in the United States, and, as such, the President has the greatest public duty and obligation to the American people.
It is intolerable for Trump to be telling lies that millions of Americans believe if the lies threaten the stability of the United States.
The United States House of Representatives has a constitutional duty to protect the United States against a President who is telling lies that millions of Americans believe, which lies threaten the stability of the United States.
To fulfill that duty, the House of Representatives should pass a resolution inviting Trump to come before Congress and testify under penalties of perjury.
Barack Obama previously was the President of the United States and was the highest public servant in the United States, who also had the greatest public duty and obligation to the American people. The resolution inviting Trump to come before Congress to testify should also invite Barack Obama to come before Congress to testify under oath.
If Trump refuses to come before Congress to testify under oath, the House of Representatives should begin impeachment proceedings against Trump.
