\u201cWe are here today because we believe in the rule of law and we have a president who does not,\u201d said Myra Slotnick, one of the organizers of \u201cRally To Protect Mueller & Rosenstein – You Can’t Fire The Truth,\u201d<\/a> told the crowd of thousands\u2014probably upwards of 5,000\u2014on Boston Common near the Massachusetts Statehouse just after dark this evening. \u201cPresident Trump is not above the law. The Mueller investigation must continue to be protected in the Justice Department. \u2026 Whoever oversees the Mueller investigation must be an impartial public servant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rally was prompted by the president\u2019s firing of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHands off Robert Mueller!\u201d the crowd chanted.
\n\u201cStep up Congress! Do Your Job!\u201d the crowd chanted.<\/p>\n

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan told the crowd, \u201cWe do not let the person who is the target of the investigation dictate how the investigation is run.”<\/p>\n
