When President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, a group of Republicans felt an essential American value was at risk. Respect for the rule of law is central to America’s system of justice, and President Trump challenged that norm by attempting to influence the Department of Justice, specifically the special counsel investigation lead by Robert Mueller. Now, with Dept Attorney General Rod Rosenstein under fire, those concerns are front and center once again.
Chris Truax, a spokesperson for Republicans for the Rule of Law, explains the origins of the group, their concern for America’s future, and what they are asking elected leaders to do to protect the integrity of the Mueller probe.
