While everyone debates whether or not Kavanaugh lied under oath about his drinking and the numerous sexual assault allegations against him, may I remind you that Kavanaugh repeatedly lied under oath during his Sep 5-6 confirmation hearing. REPEATEDLY.
#Maddow
FYI: A 2007 news story revealed that Kavanaugh had LIED under oath during his 2006 confirmation hearing. Dem senators asked DOJ to open a criminal probe into the matter. The request was denied by Benczkowski, now-Trump's DOJ Criminal Div Chief.
#Maddow
Kavanaugh lied under oath during his confirmation hearings in 2004 [he wasn't confirmed] and 2006, as well as his recent confirmation hearing in Sep. Kavanaugh has repeatedly lied under oath about a variety of his prior questionable activities.
#Maddow
"As we’ve learned with each new trickle of previously withheld documents, Kavanaugh didn’t start misleading [lying under oath to] senators just this week."

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 😂

On his way to a campaign rally in Kansas, Trump falsely dismisses the numerous sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh as "uncorroborated," says he will join SCOTUS "looking good."
TRUMP praises Susan Collins: "I thought that Susan was incredible yesterday. You could see how hard she worked. She didn't stop, and I know for a fact, because I spoke with her... she gave an impassioned, beautiful speech, and that was from the heart. I have great respect for SC"
CNN gushes over Trump.

@DanaBashCNN: "He has a pep in his step, and for good reason. He had a good week!"

@GloriaBorger: "He had what may be the best week of his presidency. He had [Kavanaugh], good economic numbers, trade deals"

@juliehdavis: "A vindication of his approach"

Sexual assault is a crime and so is making a false allegation. Somehow, we always tend to presume innocence for men accused of sexual assault, but we never presume the innocence of women accused of making up a rape story. The due process argument is a sham.
What would due process really look like for all involved? A trauma-informed, sensitive investigation. We didn't get that with #Kavanaugh. We don't get it in most criminal cases of sexual assault.
But presuming that men accused of sexual assault are innocent? It isn't due process and it can't be. It threatens the due process rights of the women making sexual assault allegations.

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh
