The indictment Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed with the court Friday sets forth specific facts and circumstances of a Russian conspiracy to circumvent U.S. election laws, disrupt our electoral process and elect Donald Trump president.

These are not wild accusations. The special counsel would not file such a document unless he had credible, admissible evidence to support each and every allegation.

Mueller has spoken. The time to act is now.

For over a year, this Republican president has done nothing to protect the American people from Russian interference in our democratic electoral process. His obstinate refusal to take any defensive action whatsoever in the face of this assault on our democracy is a major dereliction of duty.
