Sen @OrrinHatch: "You volunteer in the community, coach youth basketball. You are the sort of person many of us would like to have as a friend and colleague. You also apparently like to eat pasta with ketchup. But nobody is perfect... you are a smart, decent, normal person." 🙄

NBC FAKE NEWS, which is under intense scrutiny over their killing the Harvey Weinstein story, is now fumbling around making excuses for their probably highly unethical conduct. I have long criticized NBC and their journalistic standards-worse than even CNN. Look at their license?

.@SenatorLeahy points out that while he was chairman for the Kagan hearing, "We had 99% of her records from the White House made public 12 days before the hearing. With Kavanaugh we have 7%, and only 4% are public... what's being done here is unprecedented. What are we hiding?"
