GOP's choice to interrogate Kavanaugh accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell, bureau chief for Maricopa Co sex crimes division, which botched a series of sex-crime cases during Sheriff Joe Arpaio's reign of terror.
#Maddow wapo.st/2OR4OGe?tid=ss…
While Rachel Mitchell was sex crimes division bureau chief, 400+ sex-crimes reported to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office between 2004 & 2007 [including dozens of child molestations] were inadequately investigated or not worked at all.
@Delavegalaw @kim #Maddow
2011: Senators KYL & McCain drew considerable attention when they spoke out against Maricopa Co Sheriff's Office. “Abuse victims deserve the respect of law enforcement. Their rights must be protected throughout the criminal justice process.”
=> Kyl will vote on Kavanaugh.
#Maddow
TLDR: The GOP's choice to interrogate Dr. Blasey Ford is Maricopa Co sex crimes division bureau chief Rachel Mitchell, who Sen Kyl [appointed to McCain's seat] spoke out against in 2011.

Dozens of Republican Senators are on record in support of Kavanaugh's nomination but AZ Senator Jon Kyl, Kavanaugh's former 'sherpa,' won't commit to vote for him: “I’m not making any comments on that until after Thursday."

Leonid Teyf, a wealthy Russian national living in NC accused of money laundering and plotting a murder-for-hire, has ties to Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin ["Putin's chef"], who was indicted by Mueller election tampering.

NEW ––> Trump admin makes FALSE case for crisis at border, laying foundation for Trump to declare a PHONY national emergency to build his useless wall. [FIFY, @PhilipRucker]

If there's such a crisis, why didn't Trump use all of the money he was allotted for the wall last year?

To avoid questions, Mark Harris, GOP candidate at the center of NC's disputed 9th District race which is in limbo over voter fraud allegations [against Harris' campaign], ran out an emergency exit, set off the fire alarm, and then sped away in a waiting car. WTAF 😂
omg
My bad. Mark Harris, who's under investigation for unprecedented election fraud perpetrated by his campaign, didn't speed away in a waiting car tonight – that happened when he was fleeing from reporters last month too. omfg 😂

Something very important is happening. Since Dr. Christine Blasey Ford so bravely came forward to tell her story of assault at the hands of Brett #Kavanaugh, many #RhodeIsland women have written me to share their own personal stories of survival.
I get mail every day about the various policies debated in Congress. But I have never had mail like this. This is bigger than the fight over a court nomination.
I’ve heard from women of different ages and backgrounds, some who have held their secrets for years. Those I quote have given me permission, even encouraged me, to share their words. For privacy, their names and other identifying information has been removed.

The Case against Kavanaugh Is Collapsing nationalreview.com/2018/10/brett-…
A very strange thing happened over the weekend: If you follow Twitter closely, you’ll notice that the debate over Kavanaugh moved significantly from the question — did he commit sexual assault? —
— to a raging debate about whether he lied about high-school slang, college drinking, and inside jokes, and whether he was just too “angry” to be a Supreme Court judge.

Let's talk about the Putin/Alt-Right/GOP propaganda machine—the REAL Devil's Triangle—as it relates to Brett #Kavanaugh:

[THREAD]
1/ This cozy little messaging arrangement, which operates happily in the dark most of the time, is now being exposed because of the fatally flawed candidate Donald Trump has nominated to the Supreme Court.
2/ The problem with Kavanaugh is manifold: first, that he had six-figure credit card debts paid off by creditors whose identity we still don’t know; second, that he lied during his initial testimony...

Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.

I hope the #Kavanaugh confirmation hearing is total chaos.
#Kavanaugh not sworn in and we're one hour into hearing. I am excited about the chaos that has transpired thus far and not sorry for feeling this way. I expect Kavanaugh will be confirmed. If the hearing is a shit how, then it won't be a total waste of time. #ExcitedNotSorry
#Kavanaugh leaves @fred_guttenberg hanging at confirmation hearing. #Parkland #GunReformNow
