Call Your MoCs and Voice Support for Releasing the Mueller Report–to Them, and To Us, and Safeguarding the Underlying Documents, Too, March 27 Edition

March 28, 2019March 27, 2019 otycd1 Comment

Update: March 27, 2019. Not strictly an update, but we continue to beat this drum for obvious reasons. The Mueller Report is still not out, and Barr says he’ll let the White House ‘redact’ it before it goes to Congress.

That is, of course, unacceptable.

Congress needs to see the full report, without any White House meddling or shenanigans, and we need to see the most complete version of the report that can be released to the public, while also protecting ongoing investigations and national security. With his 19-page memo “audition” for the AG job, which caught Trump’s attention, and with his four-page summary letter released over the weekend, Barr has shown that he cannot be trusted to do right by the American people.

We need to keep calling our MoCs and making it unmistakably clear that that is what we expect. Nothing less.

Watch the NowRightNow bar for links to those who have the freshest updates.

Also watch MoveOn and its No One Is Above the Law protest network. Something is brewing. No dates yet, but in general, you’ll go back to the same spot where you protested a few months back.

Original text follows.

Call your MoCs and voice your support for releasing the Mueller Report–to Congress, in the most complete form possible, and to us, in the most complete form that can be made available to the general public. Also urge them to safeguard the underlying documents as well.

So. Damn near everyone was shocked when rumors swirled about Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivering his long-awaited report on Friday, March 22, 2019.

And what do you know, he did so late in the afternoon that day.

I’m taking a risk by writing this. It’s early Sunday morning and I’m awake for some goddamn reason (not anticipation of the report, fwiw). Attorney General William Barr, who Trump hand-picked to replace Jeff Sessions, who angered him by recusing himself from the Mueller probe, has the report, and has had it since Friday. He is evidently reviewing it and has promised to apprise Congress of its contents.

We expect this to happen sometime over the weekend. As I type this, it hasn’t happened yet. [The risk is I’ll write and queue this and something will happen to render the piece obsolete. I’m going to take that risk.]

It appears that neither Trump nor the White House has an actual copy of the report yet. They’re allowed to ask AG Barr for it. Actually giving it to them would pose yet another Constitutional issue. Let’s continue to hope he gives it to Congress first.

Trump is holed up in Mar-a-Lago, surrounded by toadies and lickspittles, some of whom have paid to be there. Instead of freaking everyone out with his guanopsychotic tweets, he’s freaking everyone out by NOT tweeting. Yeah. This is where we are now.

Anyone who says they know what’s in the Mueller Report, at least as of Sunday March 24, 3:30 am EST, is talking smack. Don’t believe them, don’t retweet them. It’s all speculation.

So, aside from engaging in self-care, what can you do?

Celeste Pewter, as always, is on it. Shortly after news broke of the report’s delivery, she tweeted:

If you’re wondering what we can all do right now? Basically: 1. Call electeds + say you support the report being released to Congress ASAP 2. Ask for a declassified version to be released to the public, 3. Preserving all Mueller-related documents.

Some of you have asked when the public gets to see the report. With the understanding I’m not a lawyer, we have to keep in mind Trump might try and cite executive privilege/try something related: [She linked to this Just Security piece titled Executive Privilege and the Public Interest: Why the President Can’t Block Release of the Mueller Report:] https://www.justsecurity.org/60708/executive-privilege-public-interest-president-cant-block-release-mueller-report/

In other words, don’t assume there are any guarantees right now. Right now, today, – is the moment to call your electeds and say you support the push for transparency. It’s time to be LOUD.

Then she posted this calling script, which covers all three of your Members of Congress:

So, there. You can do that.

Another thing to consider is to refresh yourself on where your nearest No One Is Above the Law protest took place. The powers that be at MoveOn are NOT currently calling for a protest over aspects of the release, or the failure to release, the Mueller report, but they’ve signaled that if they do call for a protest, we’re going back to the places we went on November 8, 2018, after Trump fired Sessions and replaced him with Acting AG Matthew Whitaker.

After you call, please show your appreciation for Celeste Pewter in some fashion.

Call Your House Rep · Stand Up for Civilization · Stand Up for Norms

Call Your House Rep and Urge Him or Her to Override Trump’s Veto of Congress’s Termination of His National Emergency Border Declaration

March 25, 2019March 23, 2019 otycd

Call your member of the House of Representatives and ask him or her to override Trump’s veto of Congress’s vote to terminate his bullshit national emergency declaration about the southern border.

Ok, a recap. Trump has been jonesing for his damn border wall since the campaign, when he claimed he’d get Mexico to pay for it.

Of course, Mexico refused to pay for it. So Trump tried to force taxpayers to pay for it.

Congress, rightly, said no. There’s no factual basis for a wall that stretches across the entire 2,000-odd mile border between the U.S. and Mexico. It’d be a waste of money, and it won’t do what Trump claims it will. (There are better and more efficient ways to address the legitimate points he has on this score.)

When Congress said no, Trump decided to trample the Constitution instead by declaring a “national emergency”.

Presidents can declare national emergencies, and until now, they’ve been judicious and responsible in their calls. None have resorted to calling a national emergency when they didn’t get their way on something.

In March 2019, Congress called Trump out again. The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives voted to terminate the national emergency, and so did the Senate, after much whingeing and weaseling.

Trump vetoed the Congressional termination.

Congress can override his veto, but both chambers have to muster two-thirds of their members to be successful.

The House had little trouble voting to terminate the national emergency order, but that succeeded with less than two-thirds of its members joining the effort.

The second time around is harder, by design.

If the House of Representatives can’t get two-thirds of its members to vote to override, the override vote cannot proceed to the Senate, and the national emergency takes effect.

We need 290 House members to vote to override.

On the first go-round, the vote to terminate succeeded by 245 to 182.

We need to hold those 245 and add 45 more.

This is where you come in.

We at OTYCD want you to call your member of the House of Representatives and urge that person to vote to override Trump’s veto.

It is harder to get to 290 than it is to get to 245. It means that almost four dozen Republicans have to switch sides.

We probably won’t succeed. But we have to try.

We at OTYCD expect to make this a daily action until the point is moot.

As always, you need to pick up the phone and call, because that’s what Congressfolk pay attention to. If you can’t call, send email.

Sample script:

“Dear (House Rep Lastname), I am (Firstname Lastname of town, zip code). I am calling to ask you to override Trump’s veto of the termination of the national emergency he called over the border wall.

As an elected official in Congress, I expect you to uphold the Constitution and fulfill your role as a check on Trump. With this act, he is trying to do an end run around our system of laws, and of checks and balances. [If your House Rep voted to terminate the national emergency on the first go round, say thank you here. If your House Rep supported Trump, say something like, ‘This is your chance to show that you will fulfill the oath you took when you were sworn in/sworn in again in January.’ This is bigger than Trump, and is bigger than any one person. Please do the right thing and override Trump’s veto.”

Call Your MoCs and Push Back Against the Very Notion of Revoking Security Clearances From People Who Have Criticized Trump

July 24, 2018July 24, 2018 otycd

Call your members of Congress (MoCs) and push back against the very notion of revoking security clearances from about a half-dozen people who have criticized Trump.

Jesus Fucking Christ, this administration. We are truly in the time of constant swearing.

So! On Monday July 23, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Trump was “looking to take away” the security clearances of six individuals who have had harsh words for Trump:

Susan Rice, former national security adviser

Michael V. Hayden, former CIA director

James R. Clapper, Jr., former director of national intelligence

John O. Brennan, another former CIA director

James Comey, a former FBI director, who Trump fired

Andrew McCabe, a former FBI deputy director, who Trump fired, and was desperate to make sure got fired before he could claim full retirement benefits

The press secretary accused them of making money off their past employment and of making “baseless accusations” against Trump.

Never mind that two of the six, Comey and McCabe, don’t appear to hold security clearances any longer.

Clapper, for his part, told the Washington Post that he’s not currently doing any work that requires a clearance. An aide to Brennan said something similar.

Do we need to tell you this is the sort of shit that dictators do?

Do we need to tell you this is a threat to free speech?

Ugh. Just, ugh.

Here’s a Washington Post piece on Trump’s latest Constitution-threatening move:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/rand-paul-says-hell-ask-trump-to-revoke-former-cia-director-john-brennans-security-clearance/2018/07/23/8eb11ccc-8e7c-11e8-b769-e3fff17f0689_story.html?utm_term=.a81c8ef98959

Here’s another Washington Post piece on the question of whether a president can just up and yank a security clearance. Apparently, the answer is yes, but c’mon, that won’t stop a critic from being critical because we have a wonderful little thing called The First Amendment.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/07/23/trump-can-revoke-critics-security-clearances-if-he-wants-but-it-likely-wouldnt-change-much/?utm_term=.37e2e3a6ee25

You’ve heard all the arguments about whether Trump does this or that as a distraction from some other horrible thing he’s done, or wants to do. Babies are still in cages. Migrant parents are still being deported without their kids. (Watch for a standing reminder post on that later this week.) The GOP is still wrecking the judiciary (same, assuming Trump doesn’t do something else stupid that forces us to scramble our lineup AGAIN).

Hell, Trump shot back a crazy all-caps tweet at Iran’s leader just hours before this security clearance bullshit, and in the interest of really trying to stick to the ethos of One Thing You Can Do, we’re only mentioning it here, right now. (But check @Celeste_pewter’s Twitter feed for a script on that, posted on July 23, 2018, if you have the bandwidth to tackle more than one thing.)

Also? If Trump actually tries to do this? He will be SO VERY SUED. Like, EPICLY SUED, THE LIKES OF WHICH WE HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE, as Benjamin Wittes of LawFareBlog noted in this July 23, 2018 tweet:

That sound you just heard is thousands of lawyers all reaching for their phones at the same time to call former senior national security officials to represent them if and when the President tries to strip them of their security clearances.

Doesn’t matter WHY Trump is doing what he’s doing, or if there’s a strategy or not. This is bullshit and we need to yell about it, just as we yelled about McFaul last week, to make it DAMN CLEAR RIGHT NOW that yanking security clearances from critics is NOT ON.

As usual, Celeste Pewter (@Celeste_pewter) got there first with a script. Scroll all the way down for ways to support her work.

Another note: Apparently Trump got this idea from Rand Paul, Republican Senator from Kentucky. Paul confirmed as much in a pair of tweets on July 23, 2018:

Just got out of WH meeting with @realDonaldTrump. I restated to him what I have said in public: John Brennan and others partisans should have their security clearances revoked.

Public officials should not use their security clearances to leverage speaking fees or network talking head fees

So! If you’re from Kentucky — and ONLY if you’re from Kentucky–call Rand Paul, too, and rip him a new one for planting this idea in Trump’s head. Tell him what he did is shameful and dictator-like and demeans the principle of free speech, which the founders deemed so vital that they enshrined it in the First Amendment.

Note also that Paul is NOT up for re-election in 2018, but oh, we will let you know who his Democratic challenger is when the time comes.

Also worthy: Follow Benjamin Wittes on Twitter (@benjaminwittes) and support LawFareBlog, which we’ve recommended in the past.

Also, if you are generally pissed about this, make a relevant sign and join the #OccupyLafayettePark nightly protest in Washington, D.C., or join a #StandOnEveryCorner protest near you. If there isn’t one, consider starting one.

Learn How To Get Your State to Rescind A Resolution Calling for a Constitutional Convention

May 10, 2018March 25, 2018 otycd1 Comment

Learn how to get your state to rescind a resolution calling for a Constitutional Convention.

A cadre of right-wing folks have been agitating for years to call a new Constitutional Convention (also known as a “Con Con”) with the notion of reshaping the U.S. Constitution. They want to pass a balanced budget amendment, evidently to curtail spending on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

See OTYCD‘s past post on how to thwart a Constitutional Convention:

https://onethingyoucando.com/2018/03/24/thwart-a-constitutional-convention-by-electing-democrats-to-state-legislatures/

A minimum of 34 states are required to call a convention, and anything hatched at the convention would need 38 states to pass.

Set aside the fact that a Constitutional Convention would bring a heap of chaos–the Constitution does not lay out any procedural rules, and Article V, the part of the Constitution that allows conventions, has never been invoked before.

The fact remains that the push for a Constitutional Convention is a right-wing hobby horse, pursued by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and other dubious folk.

Working to elect Democratic state legislators helps thwart these plans, as we note in the previous post. But there is another step that should be taken.

A state that assents to a Constitutional Convention is not locked in. It can rescind its resolution agreeing to the Con Con.

Some states have rescinded. In 2017, Nevada, Maryland, and New Mexico all did so.

If your state has passed a resolution calling for a Con Con, you can petition your legislature to rescind it.

A pro-Con Con group, COS Action, tracks its progress with a map. Yellow states have passed the bill in one chamber. Green states have passed the bill outright. Blue states are those where the bill is “active legislation.” White states are inactive–they have not passed Con Con legislation and don’t appear to be targeted for legislation.

See the map by scrolling down to the header ‘So, Are You Making Any Progress?’ and click on the progress map button:

https://conventionofstates.com

If you don’t know who your state house rep and state senator are, go to the link below and plug in your address and zip code to get their names:

https://whoaremyrepresentatives.org

Is your state colored green on the map? Are your state legislative representatives open to sponsoring a bill to rescind a call for a Con Con? If so, ask them to get to work, and check in on them periodically to make sure they’re on it.

If your own state legislators would favor this move, do some research and see if there are other legislators in your state who would support it. Recruit friends in that part of the state and ask them to ask their reps for this.

Is your state colored blue on this map? Call your state legislators, say you oppose calling for a Constitutional Convention, and ask them to fight any state bill that calls for one.

Yellow states are trickier. The COS map indicates that the bill has passed in one state chamber, but does not say which one. In this case, call your state legislators, say you oppose calling for a Constitutional Convention, and say what you know–a pro-convention interest group indicates that one chamber has passed a bill but you’re not sure which one.

Ask for help finding out which state chamber passed the bill. When you have that information, you can take the next step. If the bill passed in the house and is now in the senate, ask your state house rep to prepare a bill to rescind, and ask your state senator to vote no on any state senate counterpart that might be live. If it’s the other way around, act accordingly.

And as stated before, continue to work to elect state-level representatives who aren’t on board with a Con Con. In general, that means voting for Democrats, sane Republicans, and sane Independents.

Russian Scandal, Emoluments Clause

Remember: Even If He Ends Up Working with Democrats to Pass Good Legislation, Trump Himself Needs to Go

April 24, 2018March 31, 2018 otycd

This OTYCD entry originally posted in November 2017.

Remember: Even if Trump carries through and works with the Democrats to pass genuinely good legislation, Trump still needs to go.

We at OTYCD are skeptical this will actually happen but we’re going to write this post anyway.

It also feels weird to preventatively write a post that basically says, “Hey, don’t forget, but Trump is bad, mmmmmkay?”

We’re moved to do this based on this October 7, 2017 Vox story based around a Trump tweet with the same date that said:

I called Chuck Schumer yesterday to see if the Dems want to do a great HealthCare Bill. ObamaCare is badly broken, big premiums. Who knows!

See the Vox story here:

https://www.vox.com/2017/10/7/16440920/trump-tweet-schumer-health-care

This isn’t the first time Trump has worked with Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Back in mid-September there were mutterings about Trump striking a deal with Schumer and Pelosi on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program:

Trump is doing this because he values wins, period, full stop, and he does not care who gets them for him.

If Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan can’t give him the wins that he craves, Trump has no problem turning to the Democrats for help instead.

So let’s say Trump works with the Dems and gets his wins–things that the Dems would regard as wins as well.

And let’s say things stay on track for 2018, and we get the blue wave that has been widely predicted, and the Democrats retake the House of Representatives. As of October 2017, it looks unlikely for the Dems to take the Senate, but hey, who knows? Maybe they’ll succeed in defending all their seats and picking up a few.

If by then the Democratic leadership and Trump are–we know this is hard to imagine, but hey, indulge us–chummy, and legitimately useful stuff is getting done, we still need to press for Trump’s removal.

He will have become no less incompetent, unfit, or dangerous.

Even if Trump becomes “useful” to the Democratic Party, he still needs to go, for the good of the nation.

What form Trump’s departure should take is debatable. Maybe Mueller’s probe will reach maturity by or just after the midterms, and it’ll deliver thumpingly clear evidence for impeachment. Maybe Trump’s flouting of the Constitution’s emoluments clause will become too obvious for even the most thick-headed Republican to ignore. Maybe he’ll try to drop nukes on North Korea and is stopped only by John Kelly tackling him, and that leads to invoking the 25th amendment. (Please oh please let it not come to that.)

Regardless, we have to hold firm on Trump’s fundamental unfitness to serve as the president of the United States, and hold firm on the need for his removal.

We cannot bend on this, or be seen as bending on this, if Trump starts doing things that the Democratic Party wants.

Just sayin’.
