Letter: Stewart has no concern about Trump
(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Incumbent Chris Stewart, Representative for Utah's 2nd Congressional District, won the nomination at the Utah Republican Nominating Convention Saturday, April 21, 2018 with 74% of the vote.
It was troubling to me to read in the newspaper that Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, has asked for the resignation of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff because of Schiff’s opinion that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia.
Department of Justice rules stipulate that a sitting president cannot be indicted for a criminal offense. Rather he, or she, must first be impeached before a criminal charge may be initiated.
Stewart seemingly has no concern about Trump's continuous false charges that Hillary Clinton is guilty of numerous misdeeds, despite about eight Republican panels, and one Republican televised panel, in which Clinton was determined completely innocent by each panel.
The final verdict in the Trump manner has yet to be determined.
