This afternoon, I spoke on the Senate Floor to raise the alarm about the looming Constitutional crisis we face – one that threatens the very foundation of our democracy.
We are watching a calculated, concerted, and coordinated effort to discredit the Special Counsel – led by a chorus of Pres. Trump’s defenders. That should worry every American.
The Senate must unite against the sycophants slandering the Russia investigation and FBI officials with baseless conspiracies. What’s at stake here is nothing less than the rule of law.
Pres. Trump has promised to stand with law enforcement. Apparently those promises only apply as long as they aren’t investigating him.
Firing Mueller would provoke a firestorm and outcry every bit as vehement as the response to the Saturday Night Massacre. It’s our job to make that clear now, before it’s too late. #ProtectMueller
As the investigations deepen, the Senate must demonstrate an unwavering commitment to protecting the Special Counsel and countering interference threats from the White House.
It’s never been more important for us to stand united against any attempts to smear or derail the vital investigations by the Special Counsel and Congress.
I’ll keep fighting to ensure that law enforcement and the judicial process move forward without political interference. No one is above the law – not even the President.
