Senator @maziehirono just told us she will cancel her meeting w Kavanaugh as a result of yesterday's developments. Says she will not extend the courtesy of interviewing a judge for a lifetime appointment, to a President who is an unindicted co-cosnpitator.
*co-conspirator - tweeting, while manning a camera and chasing down Senators. Pardon the typos.
.@PressSec calls comments from @maziehirono and other Dems about putting the Kavanaugh nomination on hold, "a desperate and pathetic attempt" to try to stop an excellent nominee
Spent the day talking to senators on the hill about the convictions of Cohen and Manafort and about what happens next. My full report on what @maziehirono @SenKamalaHarris @RonWyden and @SenJohnKennedy had to say. WATCH:
and now @maziehirono responds to @PressSec with a tweet that says: ".@PressSec What’s “desperate and pathetic” is lying for @realDonaldTrump from the White House briefing room every day."
Senator @OrrinHatch told my colleague @JessicaASmith8 : “This has nothing to do with the Cohen and Manafort news...Democrats, let’s be honest about it, they resent the fact that Hillary Clinton was not elected and she is not appointing these court justices.”
and @senrobportman told @JessicaASmith8 : “I don’t understand the connection. Honestly. I just don’t. It seems sort of silly.”
