Sheila,

I prosecuted the Watergate criminals back in 1973 and 1974; what I've seen in this
administration is worse. In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee approved three articles of
impeachment in a bipartisan vote. Congress was ready to recommend President Richard
Nixon’s impeachment when he was told by the top three Republicans that the Senate would
convict him unless he resigned. Our case against him was damning. He had promised to
pardon his cronies. He paid off his cover-up accomplices for “legal fees.” He undermined
investigations. He lied to the public about what he knew and hid evidence from investigators. He
stonewalled Congressional subpoenas.

DEMAND IMPEACHMENT

We now know that candidate and President Trump did all of those same things and more. So
what’s the difference between 1974 and today? When the Watergate Special Prosecutor’s
grand jury - my grand jury - and Senate and House public hearings exposed Nixon’s crimes,
Congress held Nixon accountable.

It has been months since the Mueller Report provided solid evidence for Trump’s impeachment.
Last month’s hearing confirmed that Trump obstructed justice, welcomed and
encouraged Russian attacks, and lied to cover up his tracks. Trump is acting in the mold of
one of the most criminally corrupt presidents in American history, and Congress is letting him
get away with it. He has stonewalled not just the criminal investigation of the proven Russian
interference in our 2016 elections, but most oversight of his campaign and administration.

Our democracy cannot wait. Contact your Representative today and demand Congress
begin a formal impeachment inquiry.

As a former Assistant Watergate Prosecutor, I know the power of public outcry. We are 8 million
As a former Assistant Watergate Prosecutor, I know the power of public outcry. We are 8 million
voices and counting. If we speak together, we can spur Congress to move forward on
impeachment.
