CALL TO ACTION #663: Barr Lied; Trump Committed Impeachable Offenses; Congress Must Hold Them Accountable (April 24, 2019)

BARR LIED

TRUMP COMMITTED IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES

CONGRESS MUST HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE


Congress is recessed until April 29th. Upon return, Democrats will consider starting an impeachment inquiry. Meanwhile, we must read the Mueller report and educate ourselves on the impeachment process.

Links to the full report, chart of its findings and information on the impeachment process are below.

ORD2 Indivisible’s daily calls-to-action will cover Trump’s impeachable offenses and other violations. Today it’s Barr’s role in the Mueller report.

We don’t believe Attorney General Barr. Trump has committed and continues to commit impeachable offenses.  Repeatedly. Congress must hold Trump accountable – starting with immediate investigations and testimony from Mueller. According to the Mueller report, Trump:

  • Obstructed the Mueller investigation–repeatedly
  • Welcomed Russian help to win the election
  • Lied about doing business in Russia during the campaign
  • Lied about the June 9th meeting between his campaign staff and Russians seeking to help Trump win

Congress must hold Barr accountable, too. Barr repeatedly tried to pre-spin the report in Trump’s favor, acting more like the President’s lawyer than our Attorney General.

When Barr testifies before Congress on May 2, Congress must demonstrate how he has lied to the American people. Then they must censure him, call for his resignation, then keep investigating.

Truth Matters!

Hold Trump and Barr accountable!


**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS WYDEN AND MERKLEY:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .

. . . contrary to what Attorney General Barr said, the Mueller report declares that Trump at the very least obstructed justice multiple times—which is an impeachable offense. There is more than enough to warrant action. Today I am calling specifically about Barr’s lies about the Mueller report.  

  • First, I want the Senator to count me among constituents who are calling on Congress to censure Barr and demand his resignation.
  • Second, I want the Senator to use his voice to call for Congress to hold Trump accountable for his impeachable offenses by launching an immediate investigation and securing testimony from Mueller.

Thank You.”

**ACTION TWO: CALL COMPLICIT GREG WALDEN**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WALDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .

. . . contrary to what Attorney General Barr said, the Mueller report declares that Trump at the very least obstructed justice multiple times—which is an impeachable offense. There is more than enough to warrant action. Today I am calling specifically about Barr’s lies about the Mueller report.  

  • First, I want Greg Walden to count me among his constituents who are calling on Congress to censure Barr and demand his resignation.
  • Second, I want him to use his voice to call for Congress to hold Trump accountable for his impeachable offenses by launching an immediate investigation and securing testimony from Mueller.

Greg seems to be declaring through his actions that Trump is his POTUS—right or wrong—regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and world stability.

Thank you.”
