Why was it essential that the FBI investigate whether Kavanaugh lied to the Senate about his yearbook posts? Because, as I discuss in thread, as a 25+ year federal prosecutor I examined hundreds of witnesses & learned that "little" lies frequently hid much deeper & darker truths. 1/ First, I believe high school yearbook posts typically are a frozen-in-time window into the attitudes, moors, likes, dislikes and memories of students. Even if exaggerated, they are a contemporaneous reflection of Kavanaugh's mindset while he attended Georgetown Prep.

On May 24 I delivered a letter to AG @jeffsessions demanding DOJ investigate the murky relationship b/t @NRA & sanctioned Russian officials regarding the $30 million in dark money NRA spent to elect @realDonaldTrump. This illicit relationship raises many unanswered questions. Four years prior to the election of Donald Trump, known Russian spy, criminal and mobster, Alexander Torshin, arranged high-level meetings with senior NRA officials both in the US and Moscow.
