CALL TO ACTION #771: HOLD BARR AND POMPEO ACCOUNTABLE AND COMPEL THEIR TESTIMONY (October 2, 2019)
397 Days
Until the 2020 Election
HOLD BARR AND POMPEO ACCOUNTABLE
COMPEL THEIR TESTIMONY
Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Zelensky to extort help – from a foreign leader – to smear a possible opponent in the 2020 election. He asked Zelensky to work with Rudolph Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr.
Barr has used the DOJ to chase several of Trump’s conspiracy theories, including seeking to discredit the work of the FBI and U.S. intelligence officers on Russian election interference. He is clearly acting as a political operative rather than Attorney General of the United States and should resign or be impeached. He must at least recuse himself from any involvement in these hearings other than as a witness. And he must be compelled to testify.
Mike Pompeo is following the standard Trump playbook for subverting Congressional investigations by defying subpoenas and requests for documents. He stated that he will not allow State Department officials to be “bullied” by Congressional committees. Perhaps he recalls his treatment of Hillary Clinton during the political theatre of the Benghazi hearings.
Pompeo was listening in on the Ukraine call. He himself will no doubt be called to testify, and he must. If he continues to obstruct the impeachment hearings he should be held in contempt and removed from office.
We The People Demand Accountability!
Defeat Trump’s Criminal Enterprise!
**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**
SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS MERKLEY AND WYDEN:
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling . . .
. . . to thank the Senator for his strong support of an impeachment inquiry. I am also asking him to continue to support the impeachment hearings, begin working for bipartisan votes should impeachment articles reach the Senate, and publicly state the House must compel AG Barr and Secretary Pompeo to testify.
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 . . .
. . . Donald Trump continues to commit impeachable offenses while obstructing Congressional investigations. I am asking Greg Walden to find the courage to put country over party. I am asking him to join his colleagues who are standing up for our democracy by supporting the impeachment inquiry. I am also asking him to demand an end to his party’s support of this administration’s obstruction and contempt both for Congress and the rule of law.
Through Greg’s actions and inactions — the silence is deafening— he continues to signal that he fully supports Trump, regardless of how much damage Trump is doing to our democracy and to world stability. Know that we are still here, we will hold him accountable, we are working to flip his seat BLUE — #2020IsNow!
Thank you.”
