Hi John -- I want to make sure you
saw this email from Hank. This is a truly troubling time for
American democracy, and everyone needs to be in the loop about
the unjust behavior happening in the Justice Department.
If you've read Hank’s email, make sure you’ve also signed his petition
to demand that AG Barr resign. It’s important we get everyone’s
name with how quickly the attacks on our democracy are
escalating. I’m dropping a secure link below where you can sign:

Hi everyone. I’m finding it
increasingly difficult to deny that our nation is in the grip of
a slow-moving coup d’etat and that our very freedom is at stake.
Let me get you up to speed:
President Trump took the Presidency after encouraging,
then accepting and benefiting from Russian interference in the
2016 election. Roger Stone was intimately involved in that
collusion. So was Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort. Today they are
all convicted felons.
As you may remember, these criminal associates were only
brought to justice because former Attorney General Jeff Sessions
lied about his own Russian contacts. So he recused himself from
the investigation and appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to
investigate Putin’s scheme to help Trump steal the election.
President Trump was always furious about this decision, and
wanted a new Attorney General who would kowtow to his corrupt
demands. Well, when he appointed William Barr he got his man.
* AG Barr withheld the Mueller report from Congress while
misstating its conclusions in a successful effort to mislead the
public.
* AG Barr disparaged and cast doubt on a Office of Inspector
General (OIG) report that claimed there were sufficient grounds
to investigate the Trump campaign.
* AG Barr downplayed the impact Russia had on the election,
saying that the FBI under President Obama was a greater threat
than Russian inference.
And now, dear friends, it’s
getting even worse. It is clear that every time President Trump
gets away with a crime, he becomes emboldened and commits an even
more egregious one. For example:
* The day after Mueller's testimony before the House
Judiciary Committee about his report, President Trump made the
“perfect” phone call to President Zelensky seeking Ukrainian
assistance to help him get re-elected, using $391 million in
desperately needed security assistance as leverage to force
Ukrainian compliance with his demands.
* And now, after being acquitted by the Senate in a sham “trial”
rigged by Moscow Mitch, Donald Trump is taking a “victory lap” by
purging all those witnesses who dared stand against him and is
trying to free cronies like Roger Stone and Michael Flynn.
Through all of this, AG William Barr has been subverting
justice to help Donald Trump every step of the way. Barr is using
his position to help shield Stone and Flynn from their just
punishment -- to public applause from the President!
If Barr gets away with helping Trump’s friends, he will
use his position to punish Trump’s enemies for exercising their
constitutional rights. Our very freedom, my brothers and sisters,
is under attack!
That’s why I am renewing calls for everyday Americans to
sign on to my petition demanding that AG Barr resign. It’s clear
this is going to be a long fight, but the more grassroots
supporters I have by my side the harder I can fight for justice.
If you haven’t signed, will you step up for our democracy today
and add your name?
