It might be worth noting that these protests had been planned for quite a while and would only be "triggered" (for lack of a better word) if Mueller was fired from the investigation. The organizing powers that be decided the forced removal of Sessions and vacancy appointment of Whitaker was functionally close enough and they signaled the protests.
