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 down 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?

Thank you for continued vigilance on this crucial issue, team. I’m going to keep fighting to the high heavens to protect our Republic, and I’m heartened to have your support.

In solidarity,
Hank
