I see an even greater imperative to take action when it is an elected person, at any government level, who commits these crimes. When an individual asks for our vote to place that individual in a position of power, a position that directly or indirectly impacts our personal liberty or life, that person is asking for our trust. When an individual raises his/her right hand and takes that Oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic and promises to "faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God." voters have every right to expect that person, and every one like him/her, to do just that. And when such a person betrays that Oath and commitment, the people have the right and responsibility to hold him/her accountable. Betraying our trust may not be a crime but violating that Oath is, especially when people are hurt or damaged. Col. Vindman is a better American than a lot of people holding elected office in our government these days. From this voter and American, I am thankful he upheld his Oath and that it continues to guide his actions.
