The Fraternal Order of Police says Congress is violating “one of the most basic rights afford to American citizens” as they attempt a coup by using impeachment to remove President Trump.
If you’re a sane American you can clearly see that Democrats are trying to railroad President Trump.
They know they can’t beat Trump in 2020, so they’re trying to take him out another way.
You don’t even need to be a “Trump supporter” to recognize the impeachment sham that’s taking place in Washington D.C.
It’s so blatantly clear, even the country’s largest police union can see it and is speaking out.
The Fraternal Order of Police says Congress is violating “one of the most basic rights afford to American citizens” as they attempt a coup by using impeachment to remove President Trump.
Patrick Yoes, the president of the police union, said in a statement, “due process does not protect the guilty; it is the means by which we guarantee the most fundamental aspect of our nation’s justice system: innocent until proven guilty.”
“You cannot have justice without due process,” Yoes went on to say. The union exists, in part, “to defend these rights … for all citizens at every level, from the indigent living on the street to the President living in the White House,” he said.
The Fraternal Order of Police published the letter chastising Congress for infringing on President Trump’s right to their Twitter account.
