Mattison letter: Risch and Comey

Idahoans need to let Sen. Jim Risch know that we did not elect him to defend and excuse President Trump’s behavior, no matter how outrageous it is. We elected him to represent the interests of citizens and to protect our democracy. Risch’s admonishment of James Comey for not standing up to President Trump is nonsensical when no one in the Republican Party is willing to stand up to him.
