Thursday 6/8 Call to Action

Thursday
Well, picking today’s call to action is easy.

1. High level Justice Deparment and FBI Officials, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, National Security Agency Director Admiral Mike Rogers, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday. What was remarkable about this event was the fact that Rogers and Coats refused to answer questions for no valid legal reason. This refusal to participate is disturbing and very unusual.
