September McGee

I don’t want to get even. I don’t want revenge. I want justice. I want justice for the American people, whose government Donald Trump was entrusted to serve, not exploit. And this does not begin and end with January 6. I want justice for Americans whose votes he tried to overturn. For public servants threatened because they would not put his demands above their duty. For officers attacked defending the constitutional transfer of power. But I also want justice for American businesses forced to pay emergency tariffs he imposed without lawful authority. Justice for families who had to pay this illegal consumer tax. Their money was real. The damage to their livelihoods was real. Howard Lutnick's family getting rich off the tariffs was real. Presidential power does not include the right to reach into Americans’ pockets without legal authorization. I want an accounting of the private fortunes being made around public power. The crypto ventures. The foreign money. The business relationships that leave Americans wondering whose interests their president is actually serving. Trace the money. Identify the buyers. Establish what they received. If access was sold, expose it. If an official act was purchased, prosecute it. If people were defrauded, pursue restitution and accountability. And as much I currently despise Trump supporters, that includes them too. Voting for a man does not mean you deserve to be exploited by him. Your loyalty is not permission to take your money or betray your trust. I want justice for Epstein’s survivors. They deserve protection, truth, and accountability. Not another fight to discover whether powerful people will ever be made to answer. Release the rest of the files. Protect survivors’ identities. Investigate any evidence that officials concealed wrongdoing or obstructed justice, whoever it implicates. Republican or Democrat. Their suffering is not a partisan possession. Their rights are not negotiable to protect somebody’s reputation. I want an accounting of how our national secrets were handled. Those records concern the security of the American people. They were never one man’s belongings to retain, display, or dispose of as he pleased. I want foreign policy examined wherever public duty and private business intersect. Americans deserve to know whether decisions affecting our allies, our security, and our service members were made for this country or for the financial interests of the people making them. And wherever there is credible evidence of unlawful killing, torture, or war crimes, investigate it. No invocation of presidential authority or national security should end the inquiry before the evidence is heard. Not every destructive policy is a crime. That distinction matters. So does refusing to use that distinction as an excuse to investigate nothing. We are the people to whom an accounting is owed. This is our treasury. Our government. Our security. Our votes. Our Constitution. The injuries to this republic are injuries to its people. Calling our demand for justice “revenge” does not make those injuries disappear. It asks us to accept them quietly. I will not. The spirit of 1776 was not that one powerful man could demand our submission. It was that government derives its authority from the people and must answer for how that authority is used. So preserve the records. Put witnesses under oath. Follow the money. Bring every charge the evidence supports. Give every accused person due process, and impose lawful consequences wherever guilt is proven. No fabricated charges. No punishment by decree. No exceptions purchased with money, influence, or a devoted following. I do not want a government that persecutes my enemies. I want a government that refuses to protect its own from the law. We are not subjects asking a ruler for mercy. We are citizens demanding an answer for what was done with the power we entrusted to him. And justice is not too much to ask.
