      why didn’t Grassley or Cornyn seem aware of that, or not mention it?https://twitter.com/seungminkim/status/1037751510556454912 …

      DOCUMENTS: --Rs say the "committee confidential" docs were cleared for release before 4 a.m. --Ds say the docs were cleared for release at about 10:31 a.m. this morning --REGARDLESS, they were cleared for public release before Booker and Hirono posted them on their websites.

      Maybe this is the operative story so they don't have to try to kick Booker out--it's a retreat?

          And someone who incorrectly and contemptuously designated/classified the documents does not lose his/her job in a public scandal.

          of course. Booker called their bluff.

          Are all committee confidential documents related to Kavanaugh cleared for disclosure or just the ones Booker released?

          This take makes sense to me. It’s a means to avoid having to do anything in response to the release. Repubs were probably told beforehand that Booker was going to release regardless and chose to re-classify them.

          Bingo—they couldn’t get 67 votes to expel him, and don’t want to look like weaklings by failing.

          Another thought is this is some post facto play to minimize any political capital Booker might have gained. If Cornyn knew the emails were cleared, he would have shot Booker down then and there. He didn't, which makes this look like a retcon in order to discredit Dem members.

          Hopefully the seize Kav’s perjury to say “this candidate has lied to this committee” and boot him. It’s the only way they save face.

          It also happens to make Booker & Hirono look like grand standers. I suspect that Burck’s staff slow footed letting the Dems know the docs had been cleared
