PASS ALONG THIS ACTION ALERT, ESPECIALLY TO FRIENDS IN RED STATES. TELL THEM TO KEEP CALLING!
BACKGROUND:
Yesterday, William Barr, Trump’s Roy Cohn, masquerading as AG, held a sham news conference to discuss/distort the Mueller Report before reporters even had it!
Here are the Report’s important initial take-aways:
- Widely-reported facts about Trump and his business/campaign entanglements with Russia were confirmed https://bit.ly/2GtCUhC
- Substantial evidence exists that Russia sought to help Trump get elected, Trump and his minions sought to benefit from Russia’s assistance, and did benefit from it https://bit.ly/2GtCUhC
- Substantial evidence exists that Trump obstructed the investigation https://politi.co/2V6vp8F
While Mueller might have lacked enough evidence (or the ability) to indict Trump, experts agree that there’s plenty of evidence of wrong-doing. https://bit.ly/2V7MAqu
The investigations must ramp up:
- Nadler must subpoena the unredacted Report and all underlying documents
- Mueller must testify before Congress
- Deutsche Bank/Trump documents must be scrutinized for evidence of bank fraud/money-laundering
- Trump/Trump Organization tax returns must be obtained
- Barr/Rosenstein’s role in handling the Report must be examined
- Investigations that have been referred to other offices must be protected from DOJ interference. Barr cannot be trusted to uphold the rule of law.
- State investigations into Trump’s sham foundation, insurance fraud, state tax violations, money-laundering and garden-variety fraud must continue.
We demand accountability!
