Video -Why We Need the Full Mueller Report
The Mueller Report is Done, Almost
Historically, when there has been a Special Investigator’s Report commissioned by Congress, the report is made public quickly if not immediately. The Starr Report delivered the Full Report and boxes of supporting documentation. So there’s something very suspicious about the way the Republican’ts want to sweep it under the rug. Like Nixon did to his Shafer Commission Report.
Our founder Tom Steyer recorded a quick video that walks through why it’s so important that we see the entire Mueller report, and how critical it is that we double down on the fight for impeachment.
As of May 31st, the Mueller report still hasn’t been released to Congress and the American public.
While we fight for transparency, we can’t lose perspective on what we already know about Mr. Trump: He’s committed at least 10 offenses that clearly render him unfit for office.
Add your name today to say that it’s time to impeach this illegitimate president.

Muellertime Delay UpdateLeading Off: 300 > 4 |
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report is over 300 pages long, but all we’ve seen is a problematic four-page summary, written by a partisan attorney general with a “preordained” opinion on the Mueller investigation and obstruction of justice. Attorney General William Barr cherry-picked info from the report to fit the Republican narrative, left a ton of unanswered questions, and — tellingly — did not consult Mueller. What are you covering up, Barr?
Here are the few things we do know: Mueller did not exonerate Trump. The Special Counsel presented evidence of obstruction of justice, but apparently left the decision of criminally charging Trump to Barr. (Important to note: the standard for pursuing criminal charges is very different than for starting impeachment hearings.)
And Trump is still guilty of being unfit for office. His campaign benefited from hacking perpetrated by Russian Military Intelligence, and from misinformation spread by an oligarch-owned company, confirming Russian interference. Trump officials lied about their contacts with Russia (even this week!) and Trump lied about his business ties with Russia. As our founder Tom Steyer wrote in Newsweek, “the case to impeach Trump is as strong as ever.”
This grassroots movement is continuing to combat the lies and complacency in D.C. Here are three things you can do to make a difference:

The Fight Doesn’t Stop with the End of the Mueller Investigation
|
The House Oversight and Reform Committee, led by Chairman Elijah Cummings, is asking an accounting firm for 10 years of Trump’s financial records. This is to corroborate Michael Cohen’s testimony earlier this month that Trump illegally inflated his net worth and deflated assets.
Meanwhile, Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib introduced a resolution that would direct the House Judiciary Committee to open an investigation into Trump’s impeachable offenses.
We support Rep. Tlaib’s call for an impeachment investigation. Last week, more than 170 NTI volunteers made over 83 visits to 51 representatives’ offices to talk about impeachment during the March recess in-district work period. Let’s keep the momentum going when Congress returns home for two weeks in April: Sign up to meet with your representative.

A Tale of Two Congressmen
|
California Congressman Adam Schiff is under fire from Republicans, who are calling on him to resign as chair of the House Intelligence Committee. In response, he gave an impassioned speech outlining the many connections between the Trump campaign and Russia, as Trump’s cries of “no collusion” ring hollow. Add your name to our petition thanking Chairman Schiff for not backing down in the face of Republican intimidation, and for being on the right side of history.

Meanwhile, House Majority Whip James Clyburn is ready to move on from the Mueller investigation, calling it a “chapter that’s closed.” We’d have to disagree: How can we move on when we haven’t seen the full report? The South Carolina Congressman has a lot of influence among House Democrats: Send him an email to stand for impeaching the most corrupt president in U.S. history.
