Trump has fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and replaced Rod Rosenstein with Acting AG Matt Whitaker, who has openly called for defunding the investigation.

Whitaker, considered a Trump loyalist, is on record as calling for limiting the Mueller investigation<\/a>, and bringing it to a close by defunding it. His tweets<\/a> also reveal his disdain for the investigation, leading many to believe that Whitaker is too ethically conflicted to carry out his oversight role. These actions cross the red lines laid out by the national #TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw<\/a> effort, and trigger the national protest to take place at 5pm this Thursday, Nov. 8<\/span><\/strong>. <\/span>It is critical that everyone sign up to receive text alerts to be immediately notified about response plans (see below for more info).<\/strong>\u00a0Bipartisan bills (<\/span>S. 1735<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> S. 1741<\/span><\/a> in the Senate and<\/span> H.R. 3771<\/span><\/a> in the House) that would protect Mueller\u2019s investigation have been introduced. While they have not yet signed on as co-sponsors, Angus King, Susan Collins, and Chellie Pingree<\/span> have all expressed support<\/span><\/a> for Mueller\u2019s investigation moving forward.
