Don't damn me for posting from an anonymous supposed WH dissident. It might just get others feeling a little more hopeful today.

I was raised Baptist so it took me going to Episcopalian churches to get familiar with that style.

I'll add a Pagan "So mote it be!" for good measure, but still, agreed.

Talking to Mark Judge. Maybe they've had a falling out. Judge surely knows all the skeleton s in Kavanaugh s closet.

If you’ll remember, K said under oath that Judge had battled drug addiction for decades, as if K is in a position to be judgemental. I thought at that moment that Judge must have some real juicy shit on K.

but, Judge is also a RW activist, so I would think he'd toe the party line if it came down to it.

He does not know what the FBI knows. Is he so stupid that he would risk prison and lie to save Kavanaugh when he doesn't know what the FBI knows, possibly subjecting himself to charges of lying to the FBI? Maybe he is stupid, but he probably is not that stupid.

seriously, I wondered to myself if that might tempt Mark to come forward about things he knows. I doubt he'd come clean about the assaults, but I'm sure there's other damaging information he has on Bart.

Wed Oct 3, 2018, 05:19 PM

but I think at this point it's a toss up

The FBI is not stupid - there is plenty of perjury, etc already existing.
If they got damning evidence from Judge, and don't have to call anyone else then it's an easy win.
Even though the gop could STILL ram it though.

But they are political - and have pension etc. So I really don't know which way this will go.

My fear is that they turn up *some* stuff, but not the whole enchilada (because of the restrictions) and the gop still votes yes.

Though the Dem senators cannot mention specifics with regards to the FBI report, they could say that bombshell revelations in the report should be a confirmation disqualifier. Instead, they claimed that it was a sham investigation. Therefore, for that tweet to be accurate, the White House would have to have reprinted the report and excised out the damaging parts regarding Judge before they sent it on to Congress.

most of those "rogue" accounts aren't real. there were one or two real ones when drumpf was first sworn in and then people went and made accounts for every office in government and they all magically keep getting inside info of things anyone who hates drumpf would want to hear.
