1. Kick

[triron]

6. The pundits seem unable to handle more than one thing at a time.

Except Rachel and maybe a couple others.

[Botany]

9. My guess is that it was "the Judicial Crisis Network"

They spent millions to stop Merrick Garland and they see that packing the courts is their way
to keeping power despite the demographic changes.

https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Judicial_Crisis_Network

Before he was acting A.G. Mathew Whitaker was working with the Judicial Crisis Network
to stop Merrick Garland. I believe the amount of money they spent was $18 million so spending
$1,500,000 to pay off Kavanaugh debts and mortgage is just pocket change to the likes of
the Kochs and the Mercers.

[dalton99a]

12. Yep. "A $28.5 million donation from a single unknown donor"

Kavanaugh's debts are small change for that bunch

[Wellstone ruled]

20. My guess is,

we might see the person behind this at the big DOJ celebration that is to take place in the near future.

As you mention,Koch Brothers and Mercers were or are major money behind these Libertarian Shadowy Groups.

[SayItLoud]

36. YES, this

question and dozens of others will come to light and justice if, IF, and only IF IF IF IF IF
we take back the Senate, keep the house and the potus is #VoteBlue ! Just sayin...

[MBS]

55. Yes! We need to take back the Senate! n/t

[Danascot]

59. To my knowledge there's nothing that says a supreme court judge can't be indicted, tried and convict

convicted.

Under those circumstances I don't think senate action would be required for him to forced to step down. It makes no sense to have a supreme court judge who's a felon and possibly incarcerated.

[Me.]

2. Good Question

[Zoonart]

3. Hey journalists... want a Pulitzer?

Wakey, Wakey!

[MBS]

56. + 1000 n/t

[malaise]

4. I just want to be alive to watch his big fall

I shall cook an Iron Chef like dinner menu, serve white wine and champagne for those who like it and dance all night.
Truth will out and he will expose himself again literally or figuratively - it's in his DNA.

[cilla4progress]

14. I want

what YOU'RE HAVING, malaise!

Thank you for your OPTIMISM!

[malaise]

15. LOL

My dinner or my optimism or both?

[Lonestarblue]

18. I want your dinner and your optimism!

Good food, a few bubbles, and the removal of a corrupt SC Justice—oh happy day!

[malaise]

25. Great discussion on AMJoy

A nest of vipers - that they are pedophiles, rapists, purveyors of sexual assault.
yes that's this kakistocracy.

[cilla4progress]

29. I think this is the

vast right wing conspiracy HRC told us about in the 1990s!

[malaise]

30. Wasn't there a ring of them exposed during

GHW's administration?

[cilla4progress]

31. Not

ringing a bell?

They need to crawl back into the woodwork where they belong!

[monmouth4]

21. If you're cooking, I'm swimming over. Sounds delish..LOL. n/t

[malaise]

26. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[pandr32]

22. Sounds like a plan!

I'm in!

[malaise]

28. Let's lock them up first

[yellowdogintexas]

47. the 2020watch party will turn into a celebration which may

last for days if we manage to get rid of #45 and take back the Senate

Getting rid of #MoscowMitch would just be lagniappe

[malaise]

57. Haven't seen the word lagniappe in like ages

Were you a boy scout?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. Me, too. First thing I'll do is run to the liquor store and buy

a bottle of really good champagne. Maybe several bottles. And I'll drink it right from the bottle while I dance in the street to Beethoven's Ode to Joy.

[Pachamama]

53. I will join you at this one Malaise

I would offer to bring a dessert (still will) but the dessert will be watching Bart O’Kavanaugh exposed for who he is (no, I do not want to see him exposing himself )

[Takket]

5. Yeah... but...

Let’s just hold on to that little nugget of info until after the election when hopefully we have a Dem Congress.

We won’t have 2/3 in the Senate but we’ll have enough to get a fair trial of Kavanaugh started without McConnell impeding.

At some point drumpf is going to be arrested and convicted of a crime, probably starting Jan 2021. When his treason is finally exposed Dems should demand that a traitor’s lifetime appointments to SCOTUS should not be allowed to stand.

Kavanaugh will not be removed but could be voted to remove by the majority of the Senate if not the 2/3. It is going to be up to the people to organize protests to demand Gorsuch and Brett resign. We will need to surround and shut down SCOTUS and refuse to let the body meet until they step aside.

BUT.... this all has to wait until drumpf is PROVEN in court to have betrayed the US. So long way to go.

[triron]

8. That would make me want to have a party.

[YOHABLO]

7. All I can say is WOW! Man I tell you what, we've got to get to the bottom of this.

House Dems have their work cut out for them, and only have aprox 40 days to do it.

[Phoenix61]

10. Wonder if the whistle blower report

has something to do with that? Who investigates lying on financial disclosures? Could it have been kicked to the FBI?

[Faux pas]

11. Kickin'

[brewens]

13. I'd bet there are a lot of people out there with the goods on that guy. Thay may just be waiting

until we at least have a Democrat in the White House.

I would imagine bartending at some of the elite watering holes in DC is kind of a time honored confidential thing. I'd like to see word put out that anyone that has something they need to tell Congress or other investigators about doesn't need to worry. They will be protected and someone will take care of them.

[MontanaMama]

16. Kick.

I don’t think judge boof is going anywhere but kick and rec anyway!

[B Stieg]

17. Oh, c'mon. Kavanaugh paid off his debts like anybody else...

with rubles!

[triron]

19. Kavanaugh got financial assistance from one of Putin's buddies.

[Botany]

23. You damn liberals know nothing. Kavanaugh found the money in his couch.

[Sneederbunk]

38. Looks like a Deutche Bank couch.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

44. those cushions look boofy

Maybe he picked up extra money at parties, getting paid to wave his penis while drinking beer and boofing.

[Marie Marie]

49. those cushions look boofy...

[Pepsidog]

24. The first item when Dems take over is to investigate Trump, Barr and Senators who pushed kavenaugh

through the nomination process. Justice department needs to be held accountable. There must be a reckoning.

[Polybius]

27. If someone owes you money and pays you back you have to report it?

Didn't know that.

[lastlib]

32. Yuppers.

Especially on federal financial disclosure forms if you hold or seek an office. The rules are pretty stringent. Failing to disclose is perjury.

[Polybius]

34. Gotcha

It makes sense with big money owed and returned. Not so much if the guy down the streets pays me back the $20 that he owes me.

[zentrum]

33. The Mercers.

The billionaires who backed his rise and his nomination. That's my best guess.

[Lulu KC]

35. THIS is the question

I really love Adam Schiff and think his quiet persistence is going to go somewhere on this. He's someone I go to when I want to know what the smart people say.

[Leghorn21]

37. Hey t, why don't we ask Barr's daughter, Mary Daly, who now works at FinCEN, to investigate this??

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/13/politics/barr-family-justice-department-moves/index.html

[Duppers]

39. Wow! Good catch!

Smells more than rotten fish.

[dalton99a]

41. +1

[triron]

45. FinCEN? Acronym for what?

[Leghorn21]

46. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network - "forensic accounting"

If you do funny-money deals, they’ll get ya!

Kav’s sudden lack of debt looks like a slam dunk, eh? YEAH

[triron]

50. Thanks for the edification.

[spanone]

40. this is the most corrupt administration America has encountered...PERIOD.

[triron]

43. By far-like in a "galaxy far, far away".

[BigmanPigman]

48. Every day it gets worse somehow.

If someone were to make a list of all the corrupt acts by the GOP it would be long enough to go around the world a couple of times. I know Dems aren't saints either but there is no comparison.

[lame54]

42. Who did he owe?- Squee?

[brush]

51. Probably the same people who swung the deal for Kennedy to retire.

Wonder how much a SCOTUS seat goes for on the open market...er ah...under-the-table-and-into-Swiss-bank-accounts market.

[MBS]

54. good reminder.

And if Walter Shaub is still concerned, even more reason not to let this go.

[kyburbonkid]

58. Probably someone connected to the Federalist Society

Federalist society is nothing but a brainwash organization picking judges that support attack the liberties if the working class.

[SayItLoud]

60. Why did Justice Kennedy suddenly retire?

His son, Deutsche Bank, loans and the tRUMP Crime Family....it's all connected.

[disndat]

61. All the money 2020 elections can buy

Mercers, Putin, Russian Oligarchies, Koch.etc.
So scare!

[Jose Garcia]

62. Did any Democrats ask this question at the confirmation hearings?
