It's weird that evidence, which Republicans sought to hide, suggesting Kavanaugh has made false statements to Congress about at least five matters, aren't a bigger deal. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Republicans suppressed this info presumably because it appears to contradict his past testimony. So it's not realistic to think revelation of those contradictions alone will change GOP views. But big enough public reaction to his alleged fibbing could complicate confirmation.
Dem memos, wiretapping, torture, Pickering, Pryor noms. (Roe views, Kasowitz contact?) motherjones.com/politics/2018/…

Bada bing bada boom.
Manafort viewed Jewish concern about anti-Semitism as a tool to operationalize on behalf of a thug client.
This Israeli involvement in Manafort's effort to trade on the idea that Obama wasn't sufficiently anti-anti-Semitism is a big deal. "MANAFORT coordinated privately with a senior Israeli government official to issue a written statement publicizing this story."

The Senate Intelligence Committee has sent a letter seeking to interview Randy Credico, who Roger Stone claims was his WikiLeaks connection. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Credico plans to decline to voluntarily cooperate with the Intel Committee. That's based partly on advice from his attorney Martin Stolar, who says: “I don’t trust [Burr] and I don’t want to set Randy up to be charged with some kind of perjury even if he’s telling the truth.”
“It’s kind of like the fix is in," Stolar said. "They’re taking a line that is favorable to the president no matter what you tell them.”
“It’s a clown show. It’s a witch hunt.”

The FBI said Flynn lied. Flynn, in his guilty plea, also admitted he lied. But this Trump citation marks a banner day for the idiotic but unkillable idea that it's exonerating for Flynn that, before obtaining evidence showing that Flynn lied, FBI agents didn't know he was lying.
It's close to impossible to read Flynn's Statement of Offense, in which he admitted falsely telling the FBI he hadn't talked to Kislyak during the transition about sanctions, when actually he had, without accepting that he lied. It's on the internet: justice.gov/file/1015126/d…
There have been like 47 articles by Byron York et al. asserting that the agents who interviewed Flynn initially believed him, so somehow that means he didn't lie. That is nonsense. It just means he lied convincingly, as effective liars do. But evidence falsified his claims.

Interesting, the details of the complaint point to staff members on Mueller's team not Mueller himself. Don't have time to read the 76 pages though at the moment.
Are the black hats inserted into Mueller's team being exposed?
More details, aimed at staff of the Special Counsel.

Let’s break down some this #Kavanaugh bullshit down and have a little fun in the process - although I'm afraid my descriptions may be a little dark and stormy at times.

<I hope you will enjoy this thread>
2) First, can we all agree that while people are able to change their lives, most of us have our basic character established by the time we are 18 years of age? (And probably earlier than that.) Yeah sure. One can break the mold and change dramatically, but most of us don’t.
3) Given that as a truism, let us compare Merrick Garland’s year book to Brett Kavanaugh’s. Garland's shows a studious guy on the honor roll and student council. While Kavanaugh is absorbed with boofing, devil’s triangle and FFFF (Find em, feel em, f*ck em and forget em).

📌Mueller: “Acting as an anonymous source for media articles is not similar to conducting 'information warfare against the United States of America.’”

📌"Deception is an essential element of a conspiracy to defraud the United States," Mueller's team wrote.

Ok, let’s talk about this whole Brett Kavanaugh thing, shall we? #Kavanaugh
For the most part, I stay away from making sweeping generalizations about nominees for courts. I’m biased. While I oppose them regularly, I don’t think most Conservative judges are bad people. It’s ideological differences.
For instance- I don’t agree with John Roberts on Citizens United, guns, executive power, abortion, etc. I think he’s not some evil, lying POS. #Kavanaugh

Release the #Kavanaugh emails

JL:”Grassley, says they are producing the records required by law under the PRA
Durbin reminds him that they've actually circumvented that law & the process is being run by Kavanaugh's close friend & former employee, Bill Burck.”
⭐️LodeStar⭐️

Sen. Durbin:”Between 2001 and 2003, Republican Senate staffers hacked into and stole 4,670 files on controversial Bush judicial nominees from 6 Democrats, including me.

This scandal amounted to a digital Watergate, not unlike Russia’s hacking of the DNC.”
