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.

I guess that settles it. It must be an effort to drum up the base or as a fundraising effort.
Let them have their “Day of Rage”. It will expose them for the babies they are.
Blast from the past :
Awan brothers / Pakistani spies
(snip)...eight members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issued a demand that their staffers be granted access to top secret classified information. The signatories to the letter were Andre Carson, Luis Guiterez, ***Jim Himes***, Terri Sewell, Jackie Speier, Mike Quigley, Eric Swalwell and Patrick Murphy....(/snip)
No need to fire Boris Karloff mueller; just smash into his home, his office, his lawyer’s office, take his hard drives, thumb drives, tax records — and get some indictments on him. Let him see if he still wants to take Trump down from his presidency.
We all know who the guilty are yet we allow these Cretans to go on and on and no one goes to jail, I am dumbfounded by this all, it couldn’t be more plain to see, the media is stopping us from upholding the laws? absolutely preposterous!
bwahaha...
maybe they can give the high schoolers day off and nice T-shirts.
I am a critic of the action but his timing was good. in line with the speech may have distorted some and middle of night in ME.
and mad dog made statement that syria may not have used chemicals. makes it look like draw down while planning action.
