Trump’s latest actions rise to the level of abuse of power and obstruction of justice. Presidents have been impeached for less. http://wapo.st/2qK8hOj
-- Months ago, Trump asked FBI Director James Comey to pledge loyalty to him; Comey offered only “honesty.” http://nyti.ms/2q8BOQk
-- After firing Comey last week, Trump tried to silence him with threats of secret recordings.
-- Trump shared highly classified intel with the Russian Foreign Minister http://nyti.ms/2qlKIdc. He is a menace to our national security and our democracy.
--Important note: the law empowering an independent “Special Prosecutor” like Nixon nemesis Archibald Cox-- answerable to a nonpartisan judicial panel--expired years ago. http://bit.ly/2qKqE60
--The option now is to appoint a “Special Counsel”--answerable to the DOJ and therefore to Trump. That is why we must open other avenues of investigation—such as a bipartisan commission.
All Oregon MOC’s except Walden support a robust investigation. Senator Wyden plans to block a key Treasury appointment until they release Trump’s financial documents http://washex.am/2pNHjAt and has called on Comey to testify http://bit.ly/2qq69IB
But we need more. We must urge our MOC’s to HALT all Congressional business until thorough unbiased investigations are assured.

**ACTION 1: CALL YOUR US SENATOR**
SAMPLE SCRIPT:
“My name is [--] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. Trump is a menace our security and our democracy. I want to thank Senator [--] for supporting investigations into his Russia ties and release of related financial documents. This week I would like him to do more: to object on every motion and filibuster every piece of legislation until Rod Rosenstein appoints a Special Counsel. Congress should grind to a halt except for one item: Senate Bill 27, which would launch a bipartisan commission to examine Russian election interference.”
