A group led by prominent Democratic legal and national security experts is spending six figures on a new television ad backing special counsel Robert Muellers investigation into President Donald Trumps ties to Russia, following the forced departure of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Sessions resigned Wednesday at the request of the president, who named Matt Whitaker as acting attorney general now overseeing the Russia investigation instead of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Democratic lawmakers and others fear that Whitaker, a Trump loyalist, might soon move to dismiss Mueller and end the investigation.
The 30-second ad from Protect the Investigation will start airing on cable networks Friday and is part of a six-figure ad purchase.
Democracy cant exist in the dark, a male narrator says in the ad. But thats where this president wants to leave us. Tell Congress to protect the Mueller investigation.
Protect the Investigation is led by an advisory board including a number of prominent Democratic legal and national security experts, including officials at the Center for American Progress, the Leadership Conference on Human and Civil Rights and the Truman National Security Project. Former CIA analyst Ned Price, a top aide to President Barack Obama who is now the director of policy and communication at National Security Action, is among the advisers.

(102,419 posts)2. Yup... I happened to be in the Northern CO front range city of Ft Collins & attended with
about 300 others in a rather "nippy" post-sundown event.
I had my dog with me and while she was getting antsy with the crowds, let out a perfectly timed "WOOF" exactly when a speaker stated that "Nobody is above the law!"
She got the attention she was seeking...
