    But with today's tweet and similar, he's really calibrating the response of Republicans, like boiled frogs. Yesterday it was an attack on the FBI. Today, an attack on legit prosecutions of his corrupt supporters. Tomorrow? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Most of Trump's tweets abt RU investigation have been about three purposes: 1) Seeding hoaxes among his followers (bypassing the media), and devaluing truth 2) Attacking potential witnesses (tho Trump badly misunderstands who they'll be) 3) Reinforcing defense team BS

    Immediately after Sen publishes another op-ed saying (contrary to all available facts) that this is the most transparent SCOTUS process in history, Burck makes a mockery of his stmnt by sending Senate 42k pages of "confidential" docs the night before the hearing.

    Every time I watch Roger Federer or Tom Brady I want a computer simulation to let normal humans understand what they see as they instantly assess their field and execute muscle memory brutally. Imagine experiencing what that instant acute assessment is like?

    We spent the entire weekend talking about important it is to put country first. Will the same obsequious press call out Grassley for the radical obstruction he's part of on Kavanaugh confirmation?

    I'm too controversial for NYT but the New Yorker headlines Steve Bannon? I give up I don't understand New York.

    Barack Obama is such a powerful former President he could investigate and indict future crimes against Chris Collins that happen in Trump's White House.

    Better still, Collins committed insider trading while at the Trump White House.

    That we have gone from that argument on July 7 — — to this reality less than two months later is as aggressive a position as McConnell and Grassley’s move in 2016 to block movement on Garland’s nomination. And everyone should understand that.

    NYT, before nom: “The number of pages is said to run into the millions, which Mr. McConnell fears could hand Senate Democrats an opportunity to delay the confirmation vote ...” AP, tonight: “In all, 267,000 pages of Kavanaugh documents from his Bush years are being made public.”
