Full fact-finding demands McCabe be called to the Judiciary Committee in public, under oath—along with others. Explosive claims cry out for clear-eyed exposure.
Stunning as McCabe’s account is, the Judiciary Committee should hear open testimony about why & when he discussed with top DOJ officials wearing a wire & invoking the 25th amendment. The American people & Congress need to hear from him directly.
Uncommon, unparalleled, unprecedented. Discussion among top DOJ officials of 25th amendment is a terrifying testament to their well-founded fears about our democracy.

Today I met with William Barr to ask him again to commit to release the complete Special Counsel’s report directly to Congress & the American public. He chose not to. This issue is transcendent at this point in our history. Therefore, I cannot support Barr’s nomination for AG.
I disagree with William Barr on policy issues from women’s health care & reproductive rights to criminal justice reform & civil rights. And importantly: I disagree with his decision not to commit to releasing the Mueller report or comply with a subpoena to release the findings.
For me, the issue of releasing the Special Counsel’s report is a defining & definitive test of a larger question: will Mr. Barr be the people’s lawyer or the President’s lawyer? The answer is unclear & that’s deeply concerning.

Special Counsel Transparency Act is about a simple, bipartisan principle: the public’s right to know. @ChuckGrassley & I are leading legislation to guarantee every Special Counsel completes a report w/findings & evidence—& directly discloses it to Congress & the American people.
Transparency matters. Our bipartisan bill would require a report whenever a Special Counsel finishes an investigation, is fired, or resigns; assuring that the results cannot be sealed or selectively censored.
A Special Counsel is appointed only in rare, serious circumstances involving grave violations of public trust. In those cases, the public has a right to the facts. Our bipartisan bill makes it the default that the American public have access to the full story.

If true, this is obstruction of justice, suborning perjury, & conspiracy to lie to Congress. Individual-1 will no longer be just an unindicted co-conspirator—he will be a criminal. washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/01…
Sometimes the cover-up is worse than the crime: Nixon encouraged witnesses to make false statements under oath. The evidence is remarkably similar here.
Even by AG nominee Barr's extremely narrow definition—it would be illegal for the president to direct a witness to lie under oath—this is obstruction of justice, plain & simple.

Here is an actual clause of the #USConstitution:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3

#buescher
#nominee
#Nebraska
Suppose that Article VI had a further Clause, Clause 4, that stated, “no racial identity shall ever be the basis for a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Now, such a clause would prohibit the President from granting or withholding an office based on racial identity, and, in like vein, would prohibit the Senate from withholding consent to a nomination, or granting it, on the basis of racial identity.

“I was embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated.” She remembers Kavanaugh standing to her right and laughing, pulling up his pants. “Brett was laughing,” she said. “I can still see his face, and his hips coming forward, like when you pull up your pants.” newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
By his freshman year, Kavanaugh was eighteen, and legally an adult. During his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kavanaugh swore under oath that as a legal adult he had never “committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature.”
A classmate of Ramirez’s said that another student told him about the incident either on the night of the party or in the next day or two. The classmate said that he is “100 per cent sure” that he was told at the time that Kavanaugh was the student who exposed himself to Ramirez

'yeah but if we leave the EU we can negotiate even better trade deals than the ones the EU did... we dont need to use the 34 EU deals with blocs and bilaterals that cover 60 other countries, we can do that all ourselves. Look @theresa_may is in Africa doing just that" say the..
2/ Brexiteers. oh man! You must've heard that by now? Guess what? Thats not true either. the #FACT is that these international trade agreements usually contain specific clauses that say something along the lines of "this is what is agreed, but if you agree something better
3/ with another country after we sign this then you have to give us the same level of benefits you give the new one" ... worded by a very expensive lawyer usually but you get the gist. What this clause means is that the very BEST the UK can get in trade deals is exactly what we
