Be Prepared: Mueller firing rapid response plan

This would be a constitutional crisis for our country. It would demand an immediate and unequivocal response to show that we will not tolerate abuse of power from Donald Trump.

Our response in the minutes and hours following a power grab will dictate what happens next, and whether Congress—the only body with the constitutional power and obligation to rein Trump in from his rampage—will do anything to stand up to him.

That's why we're preparing to hold emergency "Nobody is Above the Law" rallies around the country in the event they are needed.

1. I honestly think it's too late for that

And yes, I've been saying for decades just how evil and corrupt the entire GOP party is, but I just don't see this happening.

Instead I see a propaganda campaign to smear Mueller and the investigation, in the hope that his supporters will stick with him.

2. In today's tweets, Trump continues to delegitimize the FBI and Mueller probe

I think it's probable that he may look to fire Mueller. He did the same prior to Comey's firing. I think it's important to be prepared to take to the streets asap if this happens.

4. I can hope Mueller has ears in the White House and his own rapid response plan

And the second he confirms Two Scoops is moving, a few well-timed Federal indictments are unsealed in coordination with a state AG or two at the state level. Pre-emptive retaliation.

It's kind of feels like a Mob investigation where the crime family looks less intelligent as the arrest count goes up. We all know what the crimes are, and because we have a robust legal system with presumption of innocence, it's going to be done right and it's going to stick.

5. If Trump finds someone down the chain of command

to fire Mueller the public needs to have mass protests in the streets, dwarfing the Womens' Marches last January. We cannot count on the Republican-controlled Congress for any relief or aid.

with the anti- tRump signs I keep in my trunk for just such an eventuality. The organized rally in my city is too far away with too much traffic. Let's not wait for someone to organize us. Get out there on your own if need be!
