Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Angus King’s (I. ME) re-election campaign:
As you know well, I believe it’s absolutely essential that the American people learn the full truth about Russia’s interference in our election system. Right now, I’m concerned that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is in jeopardy.
The 2016 election may look more and more distant in the rearview mirror, but not so with Russian meddling. Putin isn’t a Republican or a Democrat – he sides with nobody but himself – and we should all be concerned about the future of our electoral system. The 2018 elections are coming up quickly, and we have yet to take adequate measures to prevent more Russian interference. At the very least, we must allow Mueller’s investigation to come to fruition so the American people can learn the facts.
The White House has made assurances that Mueller will not be fired, but I believe he needs more than assurances. Mueller needs legislative protection. Some time ago, I signed on to support a bipartisan bill to protect the special counsel with proper safeguards – but no safeguards are yet in place. Will you join me in calling on Congress to protect the integrity of Robert Mueller’s investigation?
Please, add your name to tell Congress: Protect Robert Mueller so he can complete his investigation.
Russian interference in our electoral system has been one of the most serious attacks on our nation in recent memory.
Some who would like to see this investigation end argue that there’s just no story here, but we’ve already seen multiple guilty pleas and nearly 20 indictments come out of it. Looking at that alone, the claim that there’s nothing to see here simply doesn’t hold water. The fact that Russia interfered in our elections in 2016 is not up for debate. Nor is the fact that they’ll do it again.
The integrity of our democracy is at stake, and we must allow Mueller’s investigation to expose the whole truth. Will you add your name to show support?
Tell Congress: Protect Robert Mueller so the American people can learn the full truth about Russian interference in our elections.
Thanks so much for speaking out.
