Former Senators: “We Are Entering A Dangerous Period”

By News & Guts

Forty-four former U.S. Senators, both Democrats, and Republicans, wrote a letter in the Washington Post that says, “we are entering a dangerous period, and we feel an obligation to speak up.” Donald Trump is not mentioned in the letter, but it’s clear who prompted the content.

This bipartisan letter from 44 former US Senators is a remarkable (historic) document. It applies to all 100 current incumbents, and in particular to the biggest cog in the democratic wheel — Kentucky Republican Senator and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/eaRpnHAFi5

The letter says, in part:

“We are at an inflection point in which the foundational principles of our democracy and our national security interests are at stake, and the rule of law and the ability of our institutions to function freely and independently must be upheld.”

The Washington Post just published a letter from 44 former U.S. Senators – Democrats and Republicans – warning the current Senate of what they are about to confront as the Mueller investigation draws to a close. I want to read it to you in it's entirety. #LetsGetAfterIt pic.twitter.com/c5PuBMkcRt
