THREAD: Something very dangerous is happening right now. @realDonaldTrump is trying to make the Mueller investigation into just another partisan political battle, to downplay its significance & keep Americans from uniting against any wrongdoing that might be uncovered.
Trump and shameless allies like Nunes are trying to paint the Mueller investigation as a frivolous, politically-motivated “witch hunt” with no end. But this is a serious investigation that’s already indicted 19 people and delivered 5 guilty pleas.
Now, @realDonaldTrump is bullying the Justice Department into making highly sensitive information about an ongoing investigation available to Congressman Nunes, who has a demonstrated intent and history of abusing information to undermine the investigation.
The ultimate goal—and the huge danger to our democracy—is for Trump to get Republicans in Congress to help slow or shut down this investigation, and to do so soon, before Mueller can get to the bottom of Trump's own activities.
During Watergate, principled Republicans stood up and saved our country from a constitutional crisis. We need that again in 2018. If you’re worried about protecting the Mueller investigation, it’s time to make your voice heard in Congress NOW—before it’s too late.
