Friend, Robert Mueller testified yesterday about his report and told the American people directly — his report did not exonerate the President. What the Special Counsel demonstrated in the hearing is that the investigation was as far as you can get from the “hoax” Republicans are making it out to be: He and his team indicted 37 individuals and entities, detailed 10 instances where there is evidence the President obstructed justice, and showed that the President repeatedly instructed people to lie for him and cover up the truth. Mueller also made clear: if this was anyone else, they would be prosecuted. Fox News, Breitbart and the rest of the right-wing propaganda machine have proven they are willing to go to any length to prevent Trump from facing accountability. Their excuses for President Trump are getting crazier and more out of touch with reality every day. It’s more important than ever that we don’t allow their authoritarian strongman tactics to distract the American public from our investigation into the activity laid out in the Mueller report. That’s why I’m asking you for your help. I will continue to follow the facts where they lead and consider all appropriate remedies. There must be accountability for the behavior described in Mueller’s report and testimony today. No one is above the law. It’s time my Republican colleagues put the interests of America over their desire to protect Donald Trump from accountability. America deserves better. Thank you for defending our democracy, Jerry
