Nationwide protests planned if President Trump moves against Mueller or Rosenstein
WFAA - ABC Local ^ | April 25, 2018 | by Fredreka Schouten,

More than 360,000 people have committed to take to the streets in nationwide protests should President Trump fire special counsel Robert Mueller or Rod Rosenstein, the Justice Department official overseeing Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

A coalition of roughly 100 mostly liberal groups is helping plan the 900 demonstrations, which organizers say would launch within hours of the firing or other significant action to thwart the investigation.

“No one is hoping for a constitutional crisis,” said David Sievers, campaign director of MoveOn, one of the groups behind the “Nobody is Above the Law” demonstrations. “But we have to be ready for one.”

About a dozen groups, including MoveOn and Public Citizen, began protest preparations last summer in the months after Trump fired then-FBI director James Comey, who was overseeing the Russian investigation. Their numbers have grown dramatically in the months since and have expanded to include the American Federation of Teachers, the Sierra Club, Service Employees International Union and Common Defense, a veterans’ group.

Organizing for Action (OFA) is a nonprofit 501(c)4 organization and community organizing project that advocates for the agenda of former U.S. President Barack Obama. The organization is officially non-partisan, but its agenda and policies are strongly allied with the Democratic Party. It is the successor of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign and of Organizing for America, which itself succeeded Obama's 2008 campaign.

Founded after Obama's re-election, the group seeks to mobilize supporters in favor of Obama's legislative priorities. OFA is registered as a 501(c) organization, which may advocate for legislation but is prohibited from specifically supporting political candidates.

“Nationwide protests planned if...”

(Yawn) They’ve been “protesting” since November 8, 2016. What else is new?

“Nobody is Above the Law” demonstrations

Yet, dead silent for the eight Obama years when he was playing dictator hundreds of times. The irony is rich. Trump is restoring the rule of law that Obama thoroughly destroyed.

Soros is one evil rich bastard. But I doubt that even he could pay for 360,000 protestors.

But this is all a moot point. Muller ain’t going to be fired. And I doubt he will resign either. He lacks the integrity and moral courage to leave and go away.

He will just be a useless hanger-on till he himself is indicted and arrested.

Mueller and the corrupt cabal are imploding on their own. Every day reveals more and more of the corruption. Public opinion is strong against Mueller and in favor of Trump.

If there are even 1-2 cooperating witnesses, the biggest players are going down.

Rosenstein asking for more time before delivering the Comey memos is only a desperate attempt to put off the inevitable.

The real question is, why aren’t millions of Trump supporters (us) out on the streets NOW demonstrating against Mueller and Rosenstein’s attempted overthrow of the President?

Weaponizing the government against Conservatives and Republicans is already a constitutional crisis. Sievers should be happy that our side has to get up early to go to work almost every day or they would see demonstrations that would make these hysterical little OFA girls go back to hiding in the closet again.

Ditto...

Oh no, they’re gonna protest some more! Be sure to bring your skateboards(?) and bike locks(?). (What’s that saying about bringing a knife to a gunfight?)

Whatever...

There seems to be some dispute as to who is the Chief Law Enforcement Official in the United States. I am sure this will all be worked out through the grand jury process.

Just bring some Tide pods for them to eat. They’ll be in the hospital instead of protesting.
