SPECIAL COUNSEL INDEPENDENCE AND INTEGRITY ACT

FEDERAL DAILY ACTION: FRIDAY, JULY 27, 2018
Submitted by Jean Sealey
PROTECT MUELLER INVESTIGATION
Call Senator Rubio (202 224-3041 or 904 354-4300), Senator Nelson (202 224-5274 or 904 346-4500) and your House representatives and tell them to support the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act (S. 2644/H.R. 5505). Even as some members of congress seek to fire Rod Rosenstein, which some see as a first step to firing Mueller, Mueller is opening channels of investigation that may yield answers and bring the investigation to a revelation of the facts.
TODAY IS NATIONAL COLLUSION CALL-IN DAY. KEEP THEIR PHONES RINGING ALL DAY.
RESISTBOT: Text the word “resist” to 50409. You will be prompted through to your MoC. It is easy, and your representative receives a fax.

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.

Tweet attacks on James Comey and Jeff Sessions may be clues to Trump’s potential obstruction of justice.

ENSURE LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR IMMIGRANT CHILDREN
The more than 2,000 children who were forcefully separated from their parents at the border are now going through the process of immigration hearings. Because seeking asylum is not a crime, the standard requirement for court-appointed attorneys is not in place for these children. The result is that children as young as 3 years old are left to rep
