#MuellerTestimony will lay out the urgent need for Congress to prevent future abuses of presidential power and restore the rule of law. A bipartisan democratic reform package is the clear path forward to help #RestoreAndRenew our democracy. #RetweetTheReport /1
We know Trump tried to force AG Sessions to shut down the Flynn investigation, fire Mueller, and end the investigation into his campaign’s coordination with Russia. This violates the historical norm of DOJ independence. #RetweetTheReport /2
Congress must preclude this type of behavior in the future w/measures prohibiting presidential interference in law enforcement decisions. #RetweetTheReport bit.ly/2GqP4rb /3
#MuellerTestimony will reveal Trump tried to stack investigation by dangling pardons to corrupt witnesses & their testimony, telling Flynn & Cohen to “stay strong.” It’s time for Congress to safeguard #PardonPower against corruption. #RetweetTheReport bit.ly/2M5JpKQ /4
No one is above the law, yet we know Trump’s lawyers tried to twist his official powers to avoid indictment. This sets a dangerous precedent that could erode the integrity of the presidency if not corrected. Congress must reaffirm criminal laws also apply to the president. /5
Trump has exposed the ways that our democracy is vulnerable to abuses of pres. power. #MuellerTestimony will sound the alarm not just for Congress but for our next pres. to lay out limits to their own executive power. #RetweetTheReport 6/6
