@RepSarbanes .@RepSarbanes: “This new guy, Matt Whitaker, is a walking conflict of interest.” #ProtectMueller
@RepSarbanes .@ACLU_MD’s @DVStrategies: “Jefferson Beauregard Sessions was the worst Attorney General in the history of the United States.... Despite this, a cabinet official should *never* be dismissed as an attempt to obstruct justice and evade accountability.”
@RepSarbanes @ACLU_MD @DVStrategies .@commoncausemd’s @Effingood: “Look around you at all the people gathered here today. This protest is American values... Whether you’re a real estate magnate or someone here tonight, we should all be following the same rules.”
@RepSarbanes @ACLU_MD @DVStrategies @commoncausemd @Effingood After a chant of “Trump is not above the law,” the crowd is now singing “We Shall Overcome”
@RepSarbanes @ACLU_MD @DVStrategies @commoncausemd @Effingood .@RepCummings, our new House Oversight Chair: “I want to thank the people of this country for sending a resounding message that *no one* is above the law.... This is bigger than Trump. This is a fight for the soul of our Democracy.”
@RepSarbanes @ACLU_MD @DVStrategies @commoncausemd @Effingood @RepCummings More @RepCummings: “Trump fired Sessions to try to stop Mueller. But we’re not going to let that happen... The framers of the Constitution told Congress to be a check on the executive branch. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
@RepSarbanes @ACLU_MD @DVStrategies @commoncausemd @Effingood @RepCummings More @RepCummings: “Mr. Whitaker, the man Trump has appointed to take the place of Sessions, has said the Mueller investigation should be defunded. And just today he said he won’t recuse himself. But he doesn’t have a choice—he *must* recuse himself.”
@RepSarbanes @ACLU_MD @DVStrategies @commoncausemd @Effingood @RepCummings .@RepCummings: “I will go to my death fighting for this country. I will give it everything I’ve got.”
We are so lucky to have Congressman Cummings as our new House Oversight Chair.
