Protect the Special Prosecutor Robert S. Mueller from Removal
The Issue
To Whom It May Concern:
NOV 2018 UPDATE:
The removal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions from the Department of Justice and removal of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein from overseeing the Russia Investigation crosses a red line set to protect the Russia Investigation. This investigation, one of the most important in U.S. history, must be allowed to run its course without interference. Please help protect the Special Prosecutor Robert S. Mueller from removal.
Sincerely,
Concerned U.S. Citizens

--- ORIGINAL TEXT ----
I am writing this petition to rally support for the protection of the special counsel to the U.S. Justice Department Robert S. Mueller. The investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election is one of the most important investigations in U.S. history and it should be allowed to run its course. This investigation is about more than party politics -- it hits at the absolute core of the American people's trust in the government we elect.
The revelations listed below, which have come to light at various points since Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert S. Mueller as special prosecutor, present serious concern that Donald J. Trump and the GOP establishment may be trying to subvert due process:
1.) Donald J. Trump tried to fire Robert S. Mueller in June 2017 -- His own White House counsel, Donald McGahn, threatened to quit and refused to order the Justice Department to fire Mueller (per NYT).
2.) Trump White House Releases Devin Nunes' Memo on FISA warrants -- The Justice Department classified the release of such memo "extraordinarily reckless" and the FBI has "grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy" (per CNN).
3.) Devin Nunes' return to lead the U.S. House of Representative's Russia investigation -- He previously had temporarily recused himself for potentially disclosing classified information to the Trump White House (per The Atlantic).
4.) Peter Strzok and Lisa Page text messages reveal a "secret society" at FBI - GOP establishment attacks two FBI officials for anti-Trump bias based on text message exchanges. Page no longer worked for the Mueller investigation at the time of the revelation and Strzok was immediately reassigned off of the team (per CNN).
Please sign this petition and show our elected officials how concerned you are that Donald J. Trump and the GOP establishment may be trying to undermine one of the most important investigations in U.S. history.
Sincerely,
Concerned Americans Everywhere
