“This is now the second time in history, that a United States President has tried to fire his way out of an investigation, and it didn’t end well for Richard Nixon, either,” stated Congresswoman Cheri Bustos on Wednesday, November 7, 2017.
“This is a clear attempt by President Trump to bury the Mueller investigation, just hours after learning that Democrats won [majority control of] the House [of Representatives.] By appointing Matthew Whitaker, who has publicly expressed his political opposition to the [Robert] Mueller investigation, this is not only an obvious hatchet job, but also presents a Constitutional crisis, one day after voters across the Nation rebuked the President.”
“Democrats won on a pledge to restore accountability to Government, and that is exactly what we will do.”
