Leftists worried the FBI’s Russia collusion probe could be halted as a result of Jeff Sessions’ resignation were encouraged to take to the streets on Thursday.
Calling it the “Break Glass in Case of Emergency” plan, MSNBC talking head Rachel Maddow on Twitter endorsed calls for leftist mobs to take to the streets on Thursday in protests aimed at saving FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing probe.
“We knew this would happen at some point — the day has arrived,” Maddow wrote Wednesday.
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

Other prominent leftists, such as CNN analyst Seth Abramson, also approved of the panicked, last-minute action.
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

Even leftist lawmakers, such as Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, wanted in on the action.
First order of business: we must protect the Mueller investigation from Trump. It's time to be heard. Visit https://t.co/TL6CqS8tr5 for protest and rally details. Trump's counting on us being exhausted. Let's prove him wrong and defend America!

Calls for an impromptu protest came in the wake of a shock announcement by Trump that US Attorney General Jeff Sessions would be resigning from his post, leaving Matthew Whitaker as acting AG.
Whitaker has previously voiced displeasure with the Mueller probe, calling it a “witch hunt” and saying the probe was “crossing a red line.”
