Invoking a “constitutional crisis,” MSNBC host Rachel Maddow went on Twitter to endorse calls for far-left activists to take to the streets tonight in protests aimed at saving the Mueller probe.
It’s happening.
This is the “Break Glass in Case of Emergency” plan to protect the Mueller investigation.
5pm (local time) protests tomorrow/Thursday Nov 8.
We knew this would happen at some point — the day has arrived. https://t.co/pmv0aaxfYJ

CNN analyst Seth Abramson reported on the controversial decision.
I have it on very good authority (the best you could have) that rapid-action nationwide protests are being organized as we speak.

Trump took only hours to replace Sessions with Matthew Whitaker, who now also replaces DAG Rosenstein as “Mueller’s boss” & will oversee Mueller’s probe.
Whitaker is publicly hostile to Mueller’s probe.
This is a worst-case scenario.
Be ready to protest soon.#ProtectMueller https://t.co/xzur3YN9eU
