Республиканская атака на Мюллера и ФБР продолжается на нескольких фронтах.
Заместителя директора ФБР Эндрю Маккабе мурыжат допросами в Конгрессе и пытаются вынудить уйти в отставку. Одновременно республиканцы выписывают повестки другим сотрудникам и руководителям ФБР.
Congressional investigators tell Fox News that Tuesday’s seven-hour interrogation of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe contained numerous conflicts with the testimony of previous witnesses, prompting the Republican majority staff of the House Intelligence Committee to decide to issue fresh subpoenas next week on Justice Department and FBI personnel.

Группа республиканских конгрессменов во главе с пресловутым Нунесом плетет тайный заговор в координации с Белым домом, пытаясь использовать дискредитацию досье.
A group of House Republicans has gathered secretly for weeks in the Capitol in an effort to build a case that senior leaders of the Justice Department and FBI improperly — and perhaps criminally — mishandled the contents of a dossier that describes alleged ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, according to four people familiar with their plans.
A subset of the Republican members of the House intelligence committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes of California, has been quietly working parallel to the committee's high-profile inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. They haven't informed Democrats about their plans, but they have consulted with the House's general counsel.

Демократы бьют тревогу. Вчера в Сенате с предупреждением об опасности увольнения Мюллера выступал Марк Уорнер .
Congress must make clear to the President that firing the Special Counsel, or interfering with his investigation by issuing pardons of essential witnesses, is unacceptable, and would have immediate and significant consequences.

Сегодня в Палате представителей 171 конгрессмен во главе с Максин Уотерс подписали письмо Розенштейну и устроили пресс-конференцию "Protect Mueller".
“We write to express our support for the work of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III, and to urge you to ensure that he be allowed to continue his investigation – unfettered by political influence or threats to his authority – to its natural and appropriate conclusion based on the law, the facts, and the evidence.”

По адресу https://www.trumpisnotabovethelaw.org идет запись на публичную массовую акцию протеста в случае увольнения Мюллера.
We need to be ready to take action quickly if #Mueller is fired or his investigation is imperiled. Many groups have coordinated plans for a rapid response when this occurs.

Date: 2017-12-21 11:01 pm (UTC)"Firing Mr. Mueller or any other of the top brass involved in this investigation would not only call into question this administration's commitment to the truth but also to our most basic concept: rule of law. It also has the potential to provoke a Constitutional crisis. In the United States of America, no one, no one is above the law, not even the President. Congress must make clear to the President that firing the Special Counsel or interfering with his investigation by issuing pardons of essential witnesses is unacceptable and would have immediate and significant consequences. I hope my concerns are unfounded. In many ways, I hope I would never have to make this kind of speech, but there are troubling signs. It is critical that all of us as elected officials and as citizens speak up against these threats now before it's too late."

Date: 2017-12-21 11:21 pm (UTC)Комментарий конгрессмена Каммингса (http://puppet-djt.livejournal.com/39476.html):
I believe the Republicans were completely surprised and taken aback when Deputy Director McCabe immediately agreed to their demands for yet another emergency interview this morning. I cannot discuss the substance, but I can say that he showed everyone in that room today—with his answers to question after question—that he is a man of great patriotism, integrity, and honor. Like Sally Yates, Robert Mueller and many others, Deputy Director McCabe is a guardian of democracy, and we need more people like him in public service.
The oath we take as Members of Congress is not to Donald Trump—it is to the Constitution of the United States. I believe the Republicans in Congress have either forgotten that vow, or they are forsaking it.
