Democrats are trying to cut off any further action by Trump.
From TPM
Dear President Trump:
The decision to release a partisan and misleading memo over the objections of your own Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director and the Department of Justice (DOJ) was a transparent attempt to discredit the hard-working men and women of law enforcement who are investigating Russia’s interference with our Presidential election and that nation’s ties to your campaign.
We are alarmed by reports that you may intend to use this misleading document as a pretext to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, in an effort to corruptly influence or impede Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s investigation.
We write to inform you that we would consider such an unwarranted action as an attempt to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation. Firing Rod Rosenstein, DOJ Leadership, or Bob Mueller could result in a constitutional crisis of the kind not seen since the Saturday Night Massacre.
Sincerely,
Senator Chuck Schumer
Representative Nancy Pelosi
Senator Dick Durbin
Representative Steny Hoyer
Senator Patty Murray
Representative Joe Crowley
Senator Mark Warner
Representative Adam Schiff
Senator Dianne Feinstein
Representative Jerrold Nadler
The Democrats did a wonderful job of taking to the airwaves and the internets to undercut the Nunes #NothingBurgerMemo before it came out. Writing a counter memo was great and now they can just discuss most of what’s in their memo without releasing it. Schumer and Pelosi have called for the removing of Nunes. Dems on the Intel committee had a statement ready to go, and now this letter was obviously planned in advance.
With as little as Dems have to fight with, they’ve handled this really well.
Keep fighting Dems!
RESIST!
