Democrats Planning Nationwide Protest Over Mueller Investigation, Believe Firings Imminent
Daily Caller ^ | 1155 AM 04/13/2018 | Joe Simonson

Democrats believe President Donald Trump will take action to stop the Russia investigation this weekend and are contacting local organizers around the country to plan protests, leaked emails to The Daily Caller News Foundation show.

Connecticut Democratic Rep. Jim Himes sent an email out to field organizers in Norwalk and other towns in his home state Friday outlining his concerns that the president will fire either Attorney General Jeff Session, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, or special counsel Robert Mueller.

A source connected to the Himes campaign told TheDCNF that the Democrats need “contingency plans” set up in case Trump takes action. The same source said other Democrats nationwide are sending similar notices out to staff members as well.

The leaked email, authored personally by Himes, says that the congressman believes “that in the next 48 hours, it is more likely than not that the President acts against Attorney General Sessions, Deputy AG Rosenstein, and/or Special Counsel Mueller. His intent will be to end Mueller’s investigation.”

It is not clear how Himes has gotten this impression, but it should not be seen as an effort to drum up the base or as a fundraising effort.

“I have a hard time believing that Jim would send this out without being 85 percent certain” about the firings, the source told TheDCNF.

Himes also writes that he believes it is “likely that the President will order an attack on Syria” this weekend.

“In both cases, constitutional order and rule of law are at stake. As a consequence, it is important that we speak and act in a coordinated manner,” Himes wrote to Connecticut party officials, referencing the need for organizers to begin planning.

Look who Mueller has taken out.

Page - plant. Former FBI plant.
Flynn - Flynn is safe. Patience.
Manafort - another plant, consider his background.

Patience.

Trump should just let them swing in the breeze. Tell them something like when you least expect it, expect it. Push on their crazy button until they all are in the nut house.

Aren’t you overlooking Mueller’s entire team is filled with Rat mercenaries?

‘Flynn - Flynn is safe. Patience.’

Because who needs a house anyway; they’re overrated.

"Democrats Planning Nationwide Protest Over Mueller Investigation, Believe Firings Imminent...."

.... Pretty sure they're just worried they will have to talk about actual genuine pertinent issues facing America if the Russia Collusion Investigation was concluded before the Mid Terms.

More spur of the moment demonstrations of righteous indignation put on by the Leftists and Dems. Wonder how many will be paid this time. Of course, the Leftist media will present it as spur of the moment and put on by just regular citizens. They are really good at that.

Nationwide Democrat protest means only coastal NY or LA.
