Nobody is Above the Law

If you aren't aware that Robert Mueller was appointed to be special counsel to investigate the Trump Russia Affair then you really need to pull your head out of your ass and Google it. 

The Republican Party has been running interference for Trump.  The Dallas News has an article describing the campaign donations made by Russian oligarchs to Republican campaigns. We also know that the Republican National Committee was hacked by Russia in 2016 and unlike with the DNC hack the Russians never released the data.  So we don't know what the Russians got.  We know they got something.  The RNC presumably knows what they got.  So what did the Russians do with the information they harvested from the RNC servers?  We know that the Republicans took money from Russian oligarchs and we know they are running interference for Trump in the Russia Affair.

So what we know is that we should not expect any support from the Republican Party in safe guarding Robert Mueller's investigation.  Mueller has now indicted four people associated with the Trump campaign and he's moving forward.  Fox News and the Republican Party have increased attacks on Robert Mueller.  Robert Mueller who served as a combat soldier in Vietnam and spent a lifetime in public service.  The types of attacks are setting the stage for Trump to fire Mueller. If Mueller is fired and Republicans do nothing it would mean that Donald Trump will not be held to rule of law. 

Nobody is above the law. 

The Republican majorities in Congress and the Senate can't be trusted to act when Trump fires Mueller.  That leaves the people.  When Trump fires Mueller we the people need to shut this country down.  We need to fill the town and city squares.  We need to be loud and we need to be visible and we need to not go away. 

Moveon.org has started organizing for an emergency response. Coordinators across the country are organizing to have local demonstrations ready to go.  Here's Moveon.org's basic guideline:

  • If Mueller is fired BEFORE 2 P.M. local time —>  events will begin @ 5 P.M. local time
  • If Mueller is fired AFTER 2 P.M. local time —> events will begin @ noon local time the following day
We need to be organized and we need to be ready.  When Trump fires Mueller we need to know where to be and when and we need to be there.
