BACKGROUND:
Trump has committed impeachable offenses: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Today the Judiciary committee votes on articles of impeachment and sends them for a vote in the full House. To support impeachment, we must:
- Call our Representatives, insist they do their duty and impeach Trump
- Call our Senators, insist they prepare the Senate for a fair trail
- Make plans to attend an Impeach and Remove Rally. Register now so you’ll notified as soon as the date is announced! – ( the night before the full House vote – likely Tuesday December 18th or Wednesday December 19th).
But Trump is not the only one who has committed impeachable offenses. We outlined Barr’s abuses as Attorney General here and he continued down this path this week. The Inspector General found the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election was justified not subjected to political bias but Barr “grossly mischaracterized and subverted the findings” and used the report:
- as another opportunity to undermine our intelligence community
- to push forward Trump’s lies about the Russia instigation
- to hurl accusations at President Obama.
The abuse of power at the hands of Trump and his administration threaten the rule of law and our democracy. Congress must do its duty – impeach Trump and Barr.
