22] – NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW. This is a MUELLER FIRING RAPID RESPONSE. Trump is publicly considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller, the person leading the Department of Justice investigation of possible illegal actions by members of his presidential campaign, and the efforts to conceal those activities. 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.
If Mueller is fired BEFORE 2 PM local time —> events will begin @ 5 PM local time. If Mueller is fired AFTER 2 PM local time —> events will begin @ noon local time the following day. This is our moment to stand up to protect our democracy. Let's mobilize to show that we won't let Donald Trump become the authoritarian that he aspires to be. The law applies to all of us, and it's essential that it also applies. If the firing happens, meet at the Baltimore City Hall, 100 Holliday St., Baltimore 21202.
