The unthinkable could become reality. Trump is considering firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. By firing Rosenstein — Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s boss, the person overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election — Trump is obstructing justice. This means we are facing a full-on threat to our democracy and a constitutional crisis.
If Trump fires Rosenstein, this is an unacceptable red line, and Trump will have crossed it. Congress must act, immediately. Senators must “hold up, vote down”: hold up all Senate proceedings by denying all unanimous consent requests, and vote down all Trump nominations, until Trump is held accountable. All Members of Congress must publicly support obstruction of justice hearings. Learn more here and call your MoCs now.
