Stop Trump from firing Robert Mueller
Robert Mueller, the independent counsel investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, just charged Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort with conspiracy against the United States.
The Russia investigation has gotten closer to President Trump than ever -- but now prominent Republicans are actually calling for Mueller’s resignation. And the Trump administration has not ruled out firing Mueller.
Trump must know that he will face major consequences if he tries to fire Mueller to save his own skin. The Senate is considering two bipartisan bills that would prevent Trump from firing Mueller without cause, and every member of Congress from the Senate to the House of Representatives needs to sign on in support. Will you sign our emergency petition to demand that Congress support legislation that would prevent Trump from firing Mueller?
Below is the text of the petition that will be sent to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Paul Ryan, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and all members of Congress:
Robert Mueller must be allowed to follow the truth wherever it may lead. I call on you to publicly support Mueller’s investigation and to back legislation that would prevent any president from firing a duly appointed independent counsel without cause.
