Trump conspired to con Americans. He is being held accountable under the law. | Letters
The felony former President Donald Trump committed was concealing a scheme to intentionally quash critical information before the 2016 election. That was information the public deserved to know before deciding to give him power as the president of the United States (“Trump Guilty,” May 31).
It’s the people who believe in democracy’s rule of law that are holding him accountable. Without fear or favor, the Manhattan District Attorney provided the 12 jurors with the facts from 22 witnesses and documents including call logs, emails, recordings, checks, invoices, bank statements and calendar appointments. The jurors unanimously found him guilty.

Trump knowingly conspired to commit this felony to con Americans. Do we believe in the rule of law or one man? Does character matter as a president of the United States anymore?

A former U.S. president is now a felon. Let that sink in.
Whether or not this moves the needle in the sycophants who persist in supporting a criminal, there is no possible way to rephrase this fact (“Trump Guilty.” May 31).
Former President Donald Trump and his followers will definitely try. Unfortunately, we'll be hearing the whining and complaining for the next five months.
What a waste. Why are taxpayers restoring an elk herd only to have hunters kill them off?
Blame the media. Every angle of Trump's trial has been analyzed except the law.
But the fact of the matter is Trump is now a felon. A former president is now a convicted felon. Let that sink in.
