Read my statement on watchdog group @weareoversight's request to a federal court seeking to unseal a court-ordered report on possible violations of grand jury secrecy laws by #Kavanaugh. #WhatAreTheyHiding #WhatsAtStake
Divulging grand jury information is a serious offense that no judge will take lightly. It can put witnesses at risk, compromise important evidence, and threaten the integrity of entire investigations and prosecutions. #WhatAreTheyHiding #WhatsAtStake whitehouse.senate.gov/news/release/w…
We know Ken Starr played a dangerous game of using the news media to prosecute his case in the court of public opinion, and we know that #Kavanaugh was an important part of Starr’s team. #WhatAreTheyHiding #WhatsAtStake
This report may show us whether #Kavanaugh stepped over a critically important line for all prosecutors and help the American people decide whether Kavanaugh can be trusted on their Supreme Court.

I am glad to see action to bring it to light. #WhatsAtStake #WhatAreTheyHiding

#Veselnitskaya indictment top line: will she cooperate? Likely not.

Part of why Putin poisons and murders people is to discourage that kind of cooperation. But if she does, there’s gotta be a lot she could tell prosecutors.
apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/na…
Here’s the crazy loop: this indictment of Veselnitskaya/arose out of obstruction of a lawsuit /to seize proceeds of a fraud scheme /one of whose victims was Bill Browder/ whose lawyer Sergei Magnitsky /
was murdered for probing the fraud /which provoked the Russia sanctions /which were the intended topic of the #Trump Tower meeting /which Veselnitskaya attended.

This is such bull***t.

First it was a hoax.

Then the science was uncertain.

Then we were “alarmists.”

Then any fix was too expensive.

Now it will be fixed with “innovation.”

thehill.com/policy/energy-…
As the truth emerges, they just fall back to a more credible trench to defend the same industry and its same smelly lies and big fat subsidy.

Give me a break.

Want “innovation”?

Put a #priceoncarbon, so you can reward investors in #carbon reduction;

Strip this crooked industry of its $700 billon/yr subsidy (just in US, per @IMFNews);

Thank you to @MeetThePress for doing a Sunday show on climate change — at last.

Usually these Sunday shows are televised gossip columns, and climate change and other key issues are never discussed.
Good for you, @chucktodd.

At this stage, #climate denial is fraud, and it has been for a long time — particularly as practiced by the fossil fuel industry and its armada of phony front groups. thehill.com/homenews/sunda…
Precisely... axios.com/climate-change…

Below are 31 times Kavanaugh lied under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Please remember that lying under oath is a felony. It doesn't matter if it's about drinking or sex or using stolen documents or lying about political matters.

A lie is a lie.

<THREAD>
Lie 1) In 2004, Kavanaugh claimed nomination of anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ judge William Pryor was “not one that I worked on personally.”

Truth: Newly released emails showed Kavanaugh was involved in selecting Pryor, interviewing him, and working to confirm him.
Lie 2) In 2006, Kavanaugh denied he “primarily handl[ed]” nomination of racist Judge Charles Pickering, who reduced sentence of man convicted of burning a cross in front of interracial couple’s house.

Truth: Emails show Kavanaugh prepared documents on Pickering's behalf.

<#BelieveSurviviors #StopKavanaugh Thread>
Sen @JeffFlake said Kavanaugh wouldn't be confirmed if he lied to the Senate. Well @WeDemandJustice counts 20+: medium.com/@demandjustice…

Needs more attn, so I made a thread of 20+ sources proving his lies. Cont⤵
washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
1/
Lie: Kavanaugh said “When this allegation first arose, I welcomed any kind of investigation."
Fact: “Kavanaugh did not publicly welcome an investigation in two public statements denying the allegations and an in-depth interview with Fox News."
nbcnews.com/card/fact-chec…
2/
 Lie: Kavanaugh said he “never attended a gathering like the one Dr. Ford describes in her allegation.”
Fact: Kavanaugh admitted that his calendars “show a few weekday gatherings at friends’ houses after a workout or just to meet up and have some beers. washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…

THREAD: #KavanaughLied
The following is an ongoing thread of the multiple lies Kavanaugh told to Congress under oath. Which is enough to disqualify him for SCOTUS. #WithdrawKavanaugh
Never attended gathering like Ford describes.
Thursday 7/1/82 on Kavanaugh's Calendar he states he's going to Timmy's for beer with 2 people Ford claims that were at the gathering

He claims drinking was done on the weekends however calendar shows a Thursday brewski gathering.
Ford's witnesses say it didn't happen.
Leland says she believes Ford but doesn't remember being at a party with him. Judge & PJ don't deny the gathering happened, they just don't remember that specific gathering. Refuted can mean denied OR disproven. Cleaver way to muddy water.

🔥DEFCON 1🔥

“Every Senate source I’ve spoken with today is at DEFCON 1 and it’s beautiful.”

Trump’s presser = epic meltdown = utter sh*tshow #25thA

Two add’l anonymous allegations but can’t be corroborated b/c of anonymity. #4 & #5 #GOPdirtytrix?

🔥DEFCON 2🔥

Senior Sen Dem aide says there's a concern the GOP is "now releasing anonymous allegations in an effort to make all allegations look frivolous.

We’re focusing on the allegations that have names attached."

SJC asked Kavanaugh about 2 new claims of sexual assault
🔥DEFCON 3🔥

📌Did Kav violate GJ secrecy laws when he worked for IC Kenneth Starr by leaking info to reporters?

Latest assault allegation (4th) against Kav is from 1998, he was 33.

The 5th accusation against Kav is anonymous and involves a 1985 incident on a boat.

I was going to try to put together a list of all of the falsehoods, implausible claims, and questionable conduct by Kavanaugh solely as an ADULT.
But it’s hard to keep up.
And I’m worried the thread would be so long it would break Twitter.
Hell with it. Let’s break Twitter. 1/
2/ Let's keep this thread concise with links. Here is the @washingtonpost fact-checker. They gave him 3 Pinocchios on 3 different statements under oath for his use of documents stolen from Senate Democrats: washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
3/ Here's more on Kavanaugh and the stolen documents from the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee: slate.com/news-and-polit…
