As the US House moves toward "Impeachment Inquiry"...

...I believe there should be an official place for PUBLIC COMMENT. I do not believe we know or understand the depth of Trump's lawlessness. The Public Comment during the Impeachment Inquiry can become part of the official record of the proceedings. Congress may have to employ a few people to preserve the Public Comment for the record and maintain the government data base that would be exclusively used for this purpose.

Donald J. Trump was elected president in a very questionable election that included Russian interference. While he is president today, there are many Americans that regret that vote, especially in the face of his lies while a candidate.

This inquiry needs to be through and allow for all the facts to come forward. That level of fact finding requires a webpage to receive Public Comment. The American people should express the depth of their own experience with the fraud that is Trump.

While the process of an impeachment inquiry moves forward regarding Trump, there needs to be movement in removing or fining Bill Barr for becoming the president personal political attorney. There is just no doubt that is happening. His open accusations regarding the FBI is a gross infraction of the public trust.

I am quite confident there are rules regarding privacy and confidentiality fo any government employee. Those rules are being discarded by Bill Barr for his political convenience.

I might add this for perspective. The Trump Cabinet has primarily been a revolving door of persons least able to carry out the responsibilities of these important agencies. IN THAT, understand this revolving door has allowed the Secretaries to exploit the office only to be discharged due to ethics violations. 

Example: Zinke was Secretary of the Interior and he now works for a company that exploits the very policies Zinke wrote while Secretary of the Interior.

There is exceptionally large increases in corruption under this president in the Cabinet agencies. There was no oversight for two years and the corruption was allowed to explode without detection or Congressional intervention to end it. I am very concerned about the DOJ and that level of permissiveness in growing corruption.

There have been large numbers of federal employees that have resigned their positions for mistreatment even at the beginning of this presidency. All that needs to be included in the public record as abuse of office. For two years, the federal government lost employees and no one cared. They have a right to register their own stories of Trump's influence that forced their resignations.

The farmers, the unions and the lives of average Americans have been adversely effected by Trump. They need to register their own experiences for the record of the inquiry.
