OP-EDS

***June 1, 2019: “Message to Democrats: Quit Buying Fear of Impeachment Hearing--the Politics of Truth is Winning Formula” in OpEdNews by Robert Weiner and Ben Lasky

Weiner and Lasky begin, “Message to Democrats: Quit buying into political fear of Impeachment hearings -- The politics of truth is a winning Formula, and the media will cover the hearings' substance. In the hearings, if done right, which will be the case because the controlling majority members and especially their majority staff are professional, substantive points will be made by witnesses like Mueller who can simply be asked to read from the report., which he said would be his testimony. He will be taken seriously because the House has the power and authority as the official body to conduct the event. The media will cover the substantive points.”

***May 30, 2019: “Russian Election 2016 and 2018 Trolling Suppressed African Americans” written for the Michigan Chronicle by Robert Weiner and John Black

Weiner and Black write, “At the National Press Club, National Urban League President Marc Morial reported that Russian election ‘trolling’ by the millions of hits was far worse than reported in suppressing African-American voting in 2016 and since. Roles by the Supreme Court and state legislatures in voter suppression have been a known entity for years, but Russian interference has flown ‘under the radar,’ including in the Mueller report, Morial said in releasing the Urban League's Annual Report on The State of Black America. ‘The extent has not been reported.’"

***May 29, 2019: “Immigration Needs Humanity, Not Just Legality” in the San Antonio Express-News by Robert Weiner and John Black

“With the news that a sixth child has died in U.S. captivity in the past eight months, Sen. Lindsay Graham's eased deportation legislation but with reports of thousands of immigrants in solitary confinement for no legal reason, and President Donald Trump's new immigration ‘reform’ executive order, it's now clear that immigration policy must address humanity, not just legality.”
