If true, they indicate a violation of federal law. If the President in fact used federal property for the solicitation of campaign funds from foreign nationals for his own political gains, he should be brought to justice. Such actions bring disgrace on the office of the Presidency and they cannot be ignored or set aside for temporary, pragmatic ends. There is too much money in politics. Money dominates campaigns.
Money dictates strategy.
And, in the end, money distorts public policy. I serve on the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. I support a full investigation into any potential abuses. But I share Ms. Fishburn's concern that any investigations must be fair, non-partisan and swift. If the investigations reveal that laws have been broken, then enforcement must be swift and just.
