Gentlemen:

AMERICA NEEDS YOU
We are at a critical point in our history, and it's time to call on your inner statesman and put country before party. History will not be kind to you if you shirk or ignore your responsibilities under the Constitution and your oath of office.

There are two key things that happened today (Monday, January 29, 2018) that DEMAND your attention and action, even if you are not on the relevant committees of not. What action? That depends on you. But make no mistake: action IS required, and NOW.


1. RUSSIAN SANCTIONS
From the beginning of Mr. Trump's Presidency he has routinely flaunted convention, norms, traditions, common decency and even the law and the Constitution.

Meanwhile, Congress has routinely abrogated its responsibilities in holding him accountable. As of today, he has gone too far in asserting his autocratic tendencies into our democracy, when he refused to follow the law Congress for new sanctions against Russia for meddling in our election. You've given him tacit approval for his lawlessness prior to this, but if you refuse to hold him accountable for this, you will send the signal that he can get away with even more lawlessness. Given his admiration and even affection for autocrats and dictators, and his own strong autocratic streak, we will all reap the whirlwind if you do not step up to the plate and fulfill your responsibilities as part of our Constitutions' checks and balances, as well as your own oath of office.

2. RUSSIA INVESTIGATION
Anyone who follows this investigation to any extent can see plainly that there has been coordination with Russia in meddling in our election, and that Russia / Putin probably has something they're holding over Trump's head. It's plain as day. As many pundits have pointed out, Trump and others in his administration "are not acting like people who are innocent." People who are innocent don't have meetings they later lie about repeatedly. People who are innocent don't leave millions and millions of dollars and scores of meeting off their Federal forms. People who are innocent don't need to try to obstruct justice. And so forth.

All of that is bad enough, but now the Trump administration and his allies in the House have taken their "fighting back" too far. They are attacking one of the world's premeir law enforcement agencies, the FBI. They are going after competent, professional, career individuals in ways intended to make them leave the organization or make them appear tainted so as to undermine the investigation and in fact the FBI as a whole. This is wrong, and Congress needs to step up to the plate on these efforts to counter this attempt to obstruct justice. Trump must be told: NEITHER THE DOJ NOR THE FBI ARE FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE. This is a democracy, not a Trumpocracy.


Again, history will not be kind. We can slip into a very dark place if things are not set aright here, if they're allowed to slip further. Trump would be delighted to seize the reins and make himself Monarch of the U.S. if given half a chance. Jared and Ivanka have already been discussing which of them is next in line for the Presidency.

Trump is clearly showing you how easy it would be IF YOU DON'T STEP FORWARD AND STOP HIM.

Sincerely,

parties?

At some point, patriotic Senators may reason that a quick switching of parties by TWO Senators will Really upend the apple cart. With times as crazy as these, anything can happen.

I think it's unlikely, tho. I can't think of any of them I'd WANT in the party with their sick Republican ideology.

I've been pissed off since I read about it this morning and it was on the MSM news for a nanosecond...distraction memo did the trick as planned. Rep Adam Schiff said so on Rachel.
