#CallToAction:

Members of Congress controlling the committees investigating Russian interference & #TrumpRussia collusion have selectively leaked information intended to damage the credibility of key witnesses.

We deserve to hear the full context.

#ReleaseTheTranscripts Call members of the House Intel, Senate Intel & Senate Judiciary Committees. Ask them to release the transcripts of Fusion GPS' testimony.
Call your Senator/Representative only if they sit on one of the relevant committees. (See lists below)

Telephone numbers can be found here: theloyalopposition.net/rep-finder/

View the full set of talking points on our website: theloyalopposition.net/daily-ctas/dai… Talking points for calling your members of Congress about releasing the Fusion GPS transcripts.A list of members on the Senate Judiciary Committee.A list of members on the Senate Intelligence Committee.A list of members on the House Intelligence Committee.
The founders of #FusionGPS, which commissioned the #SteeleDossier, testified last year for 21 hours before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Intelligence Committee. politico.com/story/2018/01/…
#FusionGPS demanded the release of the full transcripts in a @nytopinion piece last Tuesday night because “Republicans have refused to release full transcripts..even as they…leak details to media outlets on the far right."
Releasing the transcripts is more important than ever now that @ChuckGrassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and @LindseyGrahamSC, have asked for a criminal investigation of #SteeleDossier author Christopher Steele.

Disturbingly, @SpeakerRyan sided w/(supposedly recused) House Intel Cmte Chair @DevinNunes in forcing the DOJ & FBI to turn over sensitive information related to the #SteeleDossier, despite objections from Deputy AG Rosenstein & FBI Head, Christopher Wray. cnn.com/2018/01/04/pol…

REALLY BIG DEAL:

The FBI may be finished with its probe of #Kavanaugh by MONDAY MORNING!!!

That's tomorrow.

The White House & accomplices in the Senate, including Grassley & McConnell, want to pretend they've done a real probe.

We need calls now... nytimes.com/2018/09/30/us/…
#CallToAction:

We have a democracy, w/independent institutions, norms & importantly, checks/balances.

But this is the kind of sham probe that occurs in de facto 1-party autocracies (like Russia.)

Call & demand a real probe ASAP. Race against the clock.

Here are 5 key figures you should be aware of.

Agalarov hosted Trump’s 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow, where his pop star son, Emin performed. They have introduced Trump to many Russian oligarchs & have carried messages between Trump & Putin.
