Rohrabacher,

Dear
Congressman,
Re:
Presidential Protection
Well, I
know it’s old news—I’ve been gone for a while—but I was tickled to read in a
report from Business Insider that Gen. John Kelly has been denying you access
to the president with your purported Julian Assange scoop. I wonder why? Could
it be because the good General suspects your information to be worthless? Not
only that, but also that it’s the kind of nonsense that Trump would readily
seize on with the misguided enthusiasm with which he listens to Fox news.
Your own
theory, I read, is somewhat different. You believe that “the White House staff
and other top people in the administration are trying to protect the president
from himself”—your words, it seems. “That’s what they think,” you added sagely,
“and in fact they are usurping his authority to make decisions—the important
decisions—for himself.” If this is the case, I hope to God you’re right. May
they continue to protect the president from himself and, by extension, the rest
of us from him.
By the
way, I also learn—this from the non-partisan Cook Political Report—that your
district is now “a toss-up” for the 2018 election. House Democrats, it seems,
are seizing the chance to put out anti-Rohrabacher ads to your increasingly
population of Spanish-speaking constituents. I’m hoping the work that many of
us are doing out here may be having some effect.
Respectfully,
Peter
Clothier, Ph.D.
