Dear Mr. Trump,

Again, you’re calling Michael Cohen, who was your most trusted personal attorney for years, a liar.

Well, that’s what he’s pled guilty to, lying for you. You wanted him to lie for you, to hide the fact that you were continuing to try to do business with Russia even after you said publicly that you were not. You wanted his lie to cover and jive with your own lie. You used him for years to lie for you. You liked him because he was a liar, just like you. Now, he’s admitting it.

It doesn’t matter in the least whether you were entitled, under the law, to continue negotiations for a Trump property in Russia. You told the American public you were not doing so, when you were. And if you thought there was nothing wrong with negotiating a business deal with one of America’s chief global enemies while running for president, you would have been transparent with the American public during the 2016 campaign and admitted you were doing so.

You see, Mr. Trump, it’s always been all about the money for you, not service to the public. To the public – to the people who voted for you – you have repeatedly and blatantly lied.

For you, it’s all the money from Saudi Arabia that’s going into your pockets, even today, so much that you can’t bear to call a murderer a murderer. For you (and your family), it’s defrauding the IRS to build your wealth, which effectively is stealing from the rest of us American citizens who pay their taxes. For you, it’s hiding your tax returns and breaking your promise that you would release them after the 2016 election.

Yes, in my book, those are high crimes, i.e., impeachable offenses.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
