To the Editor:

Re “Impeachment Is a Form of Hope,” by Brenda Wineapple (Op-Ed, May 18):

Ms. Wineapple has flipped my position on impeachment. Previously, I (along with Nancy Pelosi) focused on the probability that the Republican Senate would not remove President Trump from office. But now I realize that if the House impeaches him, the Senate must still conduct a trial, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. presiding.

Let the senators hear all the evidence presented before a watchful country, and then let them all show the American public where they stand. If they preserve Mr. Trump’s presidency, they will very publicly discredit themselves.
