Like a page ripped out of a really bad spy novel, Trump critics appear to be slipping secret messages in their resignation letters. But put away that decoder ring: the code has been cracked.

The latest to telegraph a hidden message is Berkeley professor Daniel Kammen, who announced Wednesday he’s calling it quits as a science envoy for the State Department.

Like others who have resigned from government advisory councils in recent days, Kammen accused Trump of not adequately calling out white supremacists after the violence in Charlottesville. Here is part of the letter:

Mr. President, I am resigning as Science Envoy. Since 1996, I have served in the Departments of Energy, the US Environmental Protection Agency, and the State Department in a number of roles…. Your response to Charlottesville enables racism, sexism, & harms our country and planet. My decision to resign is in response to your attacks on core values of the United States. Your failure to condemn white supremacists and neo-Nazis has domestic and international ramifications.

But look closely. The first letter of each paragraph spells out: I-M-P-E-A-C-H.

Kammen, who is married to a Nigerian woman and has bi-racial kids, said, “I can’t stand with this President and then go home and tell my kids, ‘Gee, I’m working with someone who seems to be promoting neo-Nazis, racism, sexism.’ It was sadly easy to step down because I view what the President is saying as inconsistent with what’s in the best interests of the country and my mandate as science envoy. But it was hard to step down because I really value the relationships with the individuals (at the State Department) and the relationships with these foreign governments, and I don’t want to step away from that.”

The swamp has been more difficult to drain than anyone predicted, and no one president can do it from within D.C. That’s why millions have joined the Convention of States Project, a national grassroots movement dedicated to calling the first-ever Article V Convention of States. Click here to learn more.
