"Looks like it is ok!" - Harriet Miers
Read that and more in the latest set of documents from Kavanaugh's communications with OLC while in the White House. This latest set is from when he was staff secretary, so Grassley considered them "irrelevant" and didn't even ask for them.
Gotta love email chains with:
- Brett Kavanaugh
- Harriet Miers
- Rachel Brand (who is always everywhere)

BREAKING: Supreme Court denies the foreign country-owned company's request to stay a contempt order resulting from its refusal to comply with a grand jury's subpoena. Chief Justice Roberts' "administrative stay" is vacated, so the result is the contempt order is back in effect.
That order of the court follows this request, made Monday but put on the docket today, to file a cert petition in the case under seal. Not clear what will happen with that now, but the contempt order (and associated fines) will now be back in place.
REDACTED DOCUMENT: Here's the redacted motion at SCOTUS, noted previously, of what appears to be the foreign-owned company seeking to file its petition for certiorari in the grand jury dispute under seal. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

In the wake of yesterday's contentious hearing involving Concord in the Russian troll farm case, Concord's lawyers are STILL AT IT, in a new filing that could be one sentence and instead is four pages: documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
Here's @ZoeTillman on yesterday's hearing: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Concord's lawyers say that Judge Dabney Friedrich created "at a minimum an appearance of bias or prejudice in favor of the government" yesterday.

#Kavanaugh tweet storm beginning now:

1/
Today’s confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the most significant judicial victory for conservatives of my lifetime. All conservatives should thank @SenMajLdr & @ChuckGrassley for their extraordinary leadership through a grueling battle.

2/
Moving the court from 5-4 liberal to 5-4 conservative will have sweeping ramifications for the country. Most importantly, it will restore the rule of law & the Constitution. Democrat efforts to end run state legislatures, Congress & the executive branch will now be fruitless.

REALLY BIG DEAL:

The FBI may be finished with its probe of #Kavanaugh by MONDAY MORNING!!!

That's tomorrow.

The White House & accomplices in the Senate, including Grassley & McConnell, want to pretend they've done a real probe.

We need calls now... nytimes.com/2018/09/30/us/…
#CallToAction:

We have a democracy, w/independent institutions, norms & importantly, checks/balances.

But this is the kind of sham probe that occurs in de facto 1-party autocracies (like Russia.)

Call & demand a real probe ASAP. Race against the clock.

Kavanaugh / Mark Judge & blackouts

"One of the trickiest things about blackouts is that you don’t necessarily know you’re having one. I wrote a memoir, so centered around the slips of memory caused by heavy drinking that it is actually called 'Blackout'"
nytimes.com/2018/09/29/opi…
Here is a lonely tweet diving into the issue of Kavanaugh's blackouts by looking at that calendar ...

Who Won, Anyway?

@notclimatebrad makes a great point with this tweet
The calendar and yearbook are referencing Kavanaugh attending an Orioles double header but for some reason ... Kavanaugh doesn't know who won.

A link to the tweet & the science behind blackouts with loss of memory after heavy alcohol consumption

(1) My new #Kavanaugh thread, starting 9/28/18.

Long 9/22/18 thread:

Short 7/9/18 thread:

🦅"What is right will eventually triumph" -Reagan🇺🇸

#WomenForKavanaugh #WomenForTrump #VoteGOP #WalkAway
(2) So things have been clear as mud for a few hours. I will attempt to explain what I think is happening. I am not worried about eventually winning this thing. Not at all.

(3) The FBI is merely updating the file. It is not investigating a crime, bc no one has provided a date, time, place, or ANY substantiating or corroborating evidence. We already know that Ford's 4 supposed witnesses deny her *claims*.

Please remember: A claim is just a claim.

#Kavanaugh THREAD:

David Brock on NBC: “I used to know Brett Kavanaugh pretty well. And, when I think of Brett now, in the midst of his hearings for a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, all I can think of is the old "Aesop's Fables" adage: (1)
"A man is known by the company he keeps." And that's why I want to tell any senator who cares about our democracy: Vote no. Twenty years ago, when I was a conservative movement stalwart, I got to know Brett Kavanaugh both professionally and personally. (2)
Brett actually makes a cameo appearance in my memoir of my time in the GOP, "Blinded By The Right." I describe him at a party full of zealous young conservatives gathered to watch President Bill Clinton's 1998 State of the Union address — (3)

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
