Демократы пользуется Днем Независимости, чтобы напомнить избирателям об отчете Мюллера и необходимости защиты от иностранного вмешательства.



Конгрессмен Джастин Амаш из Мичигана - единственный из республиканцев, который, внимательно прочитав отчет Мюллера, призвал к процедуре импичмента, в День Независимости вышел из партии. В своем заявлении Амаш цитирует Джорджа Вашингтона:

“The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty. <…> It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”
