To the Editor: The January 6th Committee hearings have exposed just how corrupt and treasonous are Donald Trump and his minions.
To the Editor: I'll give Joseph Cannisi credit for one thing in his letter "Two parties, ex parte" (June 24th Chief). Unlike in 2017 (not 2016), he did not attribute any views to me that were opposite positions I had actually taken.
