The focus should not be on 'who benefits and who doesn't benefit,' Chris Traux tells Newsweek. 'The focus has to be on the rule of law and defending America's democratic institutions.'
RRL was established last March when reports surfaced of Trump's intentions to potentially dismiss then-special counsel Robert Mueller. The highly-anticipated 448-page redacted report into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign, released by Attorney General William Barr in April, revealed that the president had indeed attempted to discharge the special counsel in June 2017, but former White House counsel Don McGahn refused.
U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media at the United Nations General Assembly on September 24, 2019 in New York City. Republicans for the Rule of Law voiced their support for an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, announced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday.
Truax notes that RRL is"in favor of establishing the facts," through the impeachment inquiry because of the"administration's refusal to cooperate with normal congressional oversight." However, he asserts that lawmakers should remain focused on gathering evidence and"not jump the gun." "It might well require formal impeachment, but that's because at that point Donald Trump would be a clear threat to American democracy."
