BACKGROUND:

Donald Trump has committed many impeachable offenses.  For instance:
Tax fraud is a felony, as is obstruction. Trump has obstructed investigations into his taxes, and the Mueller investigation.
Mueller’s report confirmed that Trump’s campaign was eager to benefit from Russian interference in our elections and cited 10 clear instances of Trump’s obstruction of justice regarding the Russia investigation.
Refusing to provide Congress with complete information on Russian interference severely hinders efforts to protect this nation from foreign criminal cyber espionage and attacks on our elections.
Trump has stated that Congress does not really have the power to investigate the Executive branch, denying its constitutional authority.  He has ordered administration officials not to testify and declared “we will fight all subpoenas”.
He has defied the rule of law and threatened our constitutional balance of powers.  If Congress does nothing, they will be validating his actions. They will open the door for the next Trump-like president to act with impunity
Call your MOC’s.  Mueller must be subpoenaed if necessary and testify before Congress immediately.  Congress must start impeachment hearings now. A.G. Barr and Secretary Mnuchin have aided and abetted Trump’s defiance of the rule of law and must be held in contempt.
