Dr. Jose Ignacio Segurola-Canto (1929-2017)

----

My late father’s cousin, Dr. Jose Ignacio Segurola-Canto, died in Miami this week in 2017.

Ignacio grew up with my father & two brothers in Sagua La Grande, Cuba.    Eventually, the boys grew up and pursued careers.    Ignacio became Dr. Segurola, a physician of a great reputation in the island.

As a young boy in Cuba, my brother, sister and I loved whenever he paid us a visit.   He always brought gifts and surprises.   It was like having an extra uncle!

Like many others of his generation, he ended up in a political prison.   This is what Comite internacional de ex-presos politicos cubanos wrote about him:

NOTA DE DOLOR. El Dr. Juan Ignacio Segurola Canto fallece en Miami, Fl.

Segurola fue condenado a 12 años de prisión política en la Causa 461/ 1964 de La Cabaña, aunque estaba preso desde finales de 1960 cuando fue acusado en el Hospital de Topes de Collantes donde ejercía su profesión de estar colaborando con las guerrillas anticomunistas de la Sierra del Escambray.

Fue un profesional preso que dedicó a sus hermanos todo lo que estuvo a su alcance para ayudar, primero en las difíciles condiciones del basement del Hospital de Topes de Collantes donde estaba preso con más de seiscientos, luego en el Hospital del Reclusorio Nacional de Isla de Pinos y más tarde en la Sala de Penados del Castillo del Principe en La Habana. Número en el Presidio de Isla de Pinos # 27336. Falleció en Miami el 08 de Octubre del 2017.

We will miss him a lot.   He was a great man in so many ways!

Listen, do you want to know a secret?

The Democrats want to impeach President Trump and keep it a secret.  Why won’t the House leadership put impeachment to a vote?

Aren’t we entitled to know what President Trump is guilty of, as Byron York just wrote:    

In his much-criticized letter to Congress, White House counsel Pat Cipollone said Democratic handling of the impeachment investigation “violates fundamental fairness.” He meant fairness toward the target of the proceeding, President Trump. But there is also the question of fairness toward the American people trying to follow an impeachment process shrouded in secrecy. Don’t they have the right to know what the president’s accusers say?

Again, when are we going to have a vote and hearings to present the charges?

The Democrats are really playing with fire here.  It’s one thing to hate President Trump, but it’s totally another to deny him due process.

This is why I support President Trump’s approach here.  The White House should not participate in these  “secret” meetings until there is a vote that makes impeachment official.

Why don’t we have a vote?  Insist on a vote and the outline of specific charges.  The country is poorly served by these “Kavanaugh” tactics against President Trump.

Vote to impeach President Trump or move on to governing.
