Today’s Action: Tell Mitch McConnell to protect Mueller

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is in a courtship with a constitutional crisis.

With a vote of 14-7, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bipartisan bill to protect Special Counsel Mueller and the Russia investigation from Trump’s attempts at sabotage. The bill has broad bipartisan support, but it may never come to a vote because McConnell has vowed to keep the bill from the floor.

Now, even members of his own party are starting to push back against McConnell’s obstruction of the Senate’s constitutional obligation to act as a check on a lawless president. McConnell is the gatekeeper for what’s voted on in the Senate, and we need to put the pressure on him to open the gate for justice.

Call or email your Senators today. Tell them to stand up to McConnell’s obstruction and demand the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act be brought to the Senate floor.

The special counsel’s investigation into Donald Trump’s crimes and possible collusion with Russia to win the 2016 Presidential Election has already yielded 22 indictments and seven guilty pleas.

In his desperate attempt to elude justice, Trump has fired the top two people at the FBI, and if Special Counsel Mueller is next, it could send the United States reeling into a constitutional crisis.

The Senate must pass this bill to help ensure the Russia investigation continues uninterrupted — and we need to make sure they know it.

Email or call (202.224.3121) your Senators and tell them to stand up to Mitch McConnell, and demand that the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act be brought to the Senate floor.
