9. And trump knows about such things instinctually. A lifetime of beating people

by out-lawyering and delay and bribery.

While we were all patiently waiting for Mueller, trump was laying the groundwork for protecting himself - putting Barr in. Then Kavenaugh.

When you control the law, you can do anything.

6. Just don't think Trump will be able to get away with this. He's already rigged the USPS, etc.

8. Is there still going to be an Oct surprise?

We've had too many surprises and I am tired...but I have to fight! The Dem senators want us to get involved in calling, writing, showing up and confronting GOP senators, etc. I'm going to do that, it makes me feel better and not as frustrated and helpless.

10. The only 2-3 expected surprises are likely to fall flat

1. Announcing a vaccine that hasn’t been fully tested and isn’t actually available.
2. Barr’s fake Durham report about the origins of the Russia investigation
3. Rudy’s Ukraine Scandal-O-Rama from a discredited Russian agent.

If it’s any or all of these anticipated “surprises”, I don’t the needle will move.

another Dem senator say on MSNBC that Americans can do something...we must pressure the GOP senators like they did in 2017 and the repeal of the ACA. We the people are the ones that got the ball rolling with all the Indivisible groups and others who had "die-ins", town halls, protests, emailed, called and volunteered.
Rachel Maddow had Indivisible's founder on two nights ago and he said we are set to fight for the SCOTUS seat to be filled by the next POTUS. They are targeting 12 specific senators.

14. Ron Johnson's Burisma Blockbuster Expose is apparently a Republican NothingBurger.

Kyle Cheney's Twitter thread discusses it. There's more detail but it comes to the conclusion that this won't be an "October Surprise," more of an "October MEH" of already-known info, none of it "damning." Womp womp.

SPOILER ALERT: Sen. Ron Johnson's much-hyped report on Joe Biden and Burisma is an 87-page rehash of previously known allegations (with minimal, if any, evidence), news articles and impeachment testimony.
