Monday 1/29 Call to Action

1. It almost looks like there might be some bipartisan support to protect the Mueller Russia investigation.  It's worth a call to see if we can get particulary Republican representatives (who seem to be divided) to support some legislation that will create hurdles to the firing of the special counsel.

Note that one of our Minnesota favorites, Jason Lewis seems to be full deer-in-headlights:

2. CNN also reports that Trump wants to fire Rod Rosenstein, so we should be asking about that as well (Rogan's list).

Following on the heels of the news that Trump tried to fire Robert Mueller last year, CNN is reporting
that Trump has expressed the desire to fire Rod Rosenstein as well: http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/371009-trump-talking-about-firing-rosenstein-report
