He always looks like he’s holding in a fart.
Why does Mitch almost always look like he's about to cry when speaking?

I wonder if the Turtle has the votes, why is he on the floor almost in tears right now?
I can't tell if he looks defeated or just tired of the whole process or both.I wonder if the Turtle has the votes, why is he on the floor almost in tears right now?
We have witnessed a criminal coverup by elected officials and a sitting president.
Remember the details because this will bite a lot of complicit officials in the ass.
The FBI - made sure of one thing- complete accurate do entation of exactly how badly the white house/GOP
tied their hands.
Mid terms will be interesting.
was that reported?
Yes in Snowflake Nation News.
maybe in some decades, but not now. over-classification is the natural reflex in DC
They know they will be accused by both sides. They knew going in - it was a no- win.
They would have gotten to the truth and still would have been accused. They were blocked from a true investigation and will nowbe called inept - so someone- somewhere will leak the WH investigation order.
The single copy of the FBI's Kavanaugh report is behind closed doors. Here's what senators have to do to see it
All 100 senators will be able to review the supplemental background investigation throughout the day.
A reminder that barring some dramatic disclosure in from that inquiry,
95 senators have already made up their minds.
How the remaining groups sees the new background information -- and how it factors into their decisions -- will drive the day.
It all comes down to five senators -- three Republicans and two Democrats
-- and what they see today behind closed doors.
Here are the rules senators are following to review the do ents.
Judiciary Committee Republican staff got the first look at the FBI's findings starting at 8 a.m. ET. At 9 a.m. ET,
Democrats took over the room.
Control of the room is scheduled to rotate, every other hour, for the rest of Thursday with most, if not all, of the 51-senator GOP conference is expected to file into the room at 10 a.m.
The staff that is cleared to review the material will provide briefings, likely to groups of senators, and
the senators will be able to review the raw 302s themselves.
The rules
- This FBI's work is not public. It will likely never be public. There will be no summary. There will be no release.
- There are 109 people who have clearance to access what was delivered to Capitol Hill at 2:30 Thursday morning -- 100 senators, four majority committee staffers and four minority committee staffers, one committee clerk. That's it.
- There is a single copy of the FBI's findings. It is currently in a vault, in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility -- or SCIF, if you'd like to use the Washington short hand. It cannot leave the room.
- Senators can't bring their phones into the SCIF when they go to review the do ents. If they take notes, the notes must be left in the room when the senator leaves.
- Senators are not allowed to discuss or characterize in detail what they've read (though they most certainly will try.)

Oligarchy/Repugs running a secret, authoritarian govt that LIES to its own legislators.
I wonder what oligarchy's payoff will be to McC now and in retirement?
And I guess most of you assholes think America, your AmeriKKKa, is a democracy.
It never was, and if the oligarchy continues to rule, it NEVER will be.
Democracy!
Freedom!
Liberty!

Shining Light on a Hill!

Remember who Grassley is: A british patriot warned the USA about Russia having Kompromat on our criminal traitor president.
Grassley & Graham instead of thanking Steele- issued a criminal referral on Steele. Grassley already participated in a coverup.
Team Red is ok with this.
(bogus criminal referral went nowhere - but it got TSA and other traitors excited lol)
Lol, British patriot
This is just the beginning.
Same thing was said about the Muller probe

The narrative running that has women lashing back at Republicans in the midterm elections might not hold water. In fact, you just might be talking to the wrong women – conservative ones resent the political weaponization of sexual assault allegations – The Atlantic reported Thursday.

Here’s a list of people the FBI did NOT interview. Okay with this, Flake and Collins?
a lot of new reporting has now emerged that starkly illustrates just how much about the new allegations was not investigated by the FBI.
It’s important to note that this probably was not a failing on the FBI’s part but rather
was the result of restrictions the White House placed on the probe, a process that itself remains shrouded in disingenuous rhetorical games.
Here’s a list of the people who we know have not been interviewed:
- A suitemate of Kavanaugh’s has now told the New Yorker he remembers hearing at the time about the incident Deborah Ramirez has recounted. Ramirez, who has been interviewed, had claimed that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a dorm party at Yale. The suitemate, Kenneth G. Appold, now says he is “one-hundred-per-cent certain” that he was told the culprit was Kavanaugh. He does say he never discussed this with Ramirez, but he claims an eyewitness described the episode to him at the time. Appold has tried to share this story with the FBI, but there’s no indication the FBI is willing to hear from him.
- A classmate of Kavanaugh’s at Georgetown Prep now strongly challenges one of Kavanaugh’s assertions under oath. The person told the New Yorker that he heard Kavanaugh talk repeatedly about Renate Dolphin as someone “that everyone passed around for sex” (the witness’ words), and even heard Kavanaugh singing a rhyme that included the words “you wanna get laid, you can make it with REE-NATE.” Kavanaugh (and many others) described themselves in their yearbook as a “Renate Alumnius,” but Kavanaugh has denied under oath that this was a sexual reference, claiming, ludicrously, that it was intended to show “affection.”
- This classmate is not named by the New Yorker. But he put his name on a statement to the FBI and Judiciary Committee that makes this claim, and he is prepared to talk to the FBI. There is no indication this happened.
- James Roche, one of Kavanaugh’s roommates at Yale, has written a piece for Slate that claims Kavanaugh lied under oath about his use of slang and his drinking. Roche claims that Kavanaugh “regularly” blacked out. Roche has offered to talk to the FBI, but there’s no indication this happened.
- Roche also pointedly added of Kavanaugh: “He said that ‘boofing’ was farting and the ‘Devil’s Triangle’ was a drinking game. ‘Boofing’ and ‘Devil’s Triangle’ are sexual references. I know this because I heard Brett and his friends using these terms on multiple occasions.” Roche concluded that Kavanaugh “has demonstrated a willingness to be untruthful under oath about easily verified information.”
- NBC News reports that the FBI has not contacted dozens of people who could potentially corroborate the allegations against Kavanaugh or testify to his behavior at the time. This includes many people who knew either Ford or Ramirez at the time, and people who actually approached the FBI offering information.
- The Post reports that Ramirez’s lawyers provided the FBI with a list of more than 20 people who might have relevant information, but “as of Wednesday, Ramirez’s team had no indication that the bureau had interviewed any of them.”
- Neither Ford nor Kavanaugh have been interviewed by the FBI. As the Brookings Ins ution’s Susan Hennessey points out: “It is inconceivable they could close a real investigation without re-interviewing Kavanaugh.”
