Trump’s plot to smear the DOJ, the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is in full swing.
House Republicans have relentlessly attacked the investigation, even threatening to impeach or hold Mueller’s boss, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, in contempt for failure to hand over highly sensitive documents in the on-going investigation.
Legislation was introduced in April in the Senate and the House to protect Mueller and his investigation, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has refused to allow it to proceed.
It seems inevitable that Trump will move against Mueller and his investigation. Congress needs to act on legislation that will protect Mueller, the Russia investigation and the rule of law.
YOUR SCRIPT
[If leaving a telephone message, please leave your complete address so your call will be tallied.]
This is [NAME] and I’m a constituent in [ZIP].
Given Trump’s tweets slamming Special Counsel Mueller and his investigation, I believe it is inevitable he will try to fire him, creating a constitutional crisis. This must not be allowed to happen. I strongly urge [Sen/Rep ____] to support the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act (S. 2644/H.R. 5505) to protect Mueller and the Russia investigation and maintain the rule of law.
