BREAKING: After another congressional closed-door interview, former FBI Director Comey comes out firing against President Trump’s “lying” and “mean tweets,” and Republicans who are trying to “slink away into retirement.”
Comey says he’s being questioned on Clinton’s emails and the Steele dossier, “while the president of the United States is lying about the FBI, attacking the FBI, and attacking the rule of law in this country. How does that make any sense at all?”

#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.

👉🏼Judge’s grandma lived nearby

👉🏼His unwillingness to go to the FBI

👉🏼His yearbook entry speaks to his ‘Animal house’ rather than ‘American pie’ character.

👉🏼Under penalty of felony?
.
🎯KavLies3🎯

Kav’s questionable temperament:

👉🏼His aggressive arrogance toward female senators.

👉🏼His belligerence on full display—likely he is a mean drunk.

👉🏼Yale classmates said Kav drank to excess.

Jeff Flake has caved to Resistance pressure, and he’s now calling for an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh before the full senate vote. Told you not to give up fighting!
Make no mistake, Jeff Flake will reluctantly vote “yes“ in a full Senate vote if he’s forced to vote. But he’s trying to finish Kavanaugh off so that there won’t be a full Senate vote. Will it work? We’ll see. But this is still very winnable for us.
By the way, did you think that Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Joe Manchin had that private meeting last night for nothing? They’re in on this together. Whatever “this“ is.

Sen Graham on Sen. Flake's support of Judge Kavanaugh:

"He has wrestled with this. He is trying to be fair. I cannot tell you what happened 35 years ago, I can tell you this: Through any legal system this would not get out of the batters box."
Women confronted Sen. Flake on Friday after he announced he will vote for Judge Kavanaugh, including one woman who scolded him saying that "You’re telling me that my assault doesn’t matter – that what happened to me doesn’t matter.” on.msnbc.com/2OeKn9d

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made a formal request for a copy of the letter Ranking Member Feinstein received in July alleging misconduct by Judge Brett Kavanaugh as a teenager.
While Feinstein eventually referred the letter to the FBI last week, which was then redacted and added to Judge Kavanaugh’s background file, Committee Republicans have not yet been able to access an unredacted version of the letter.
