        Why is Trump doing a press conference Wed 5pm? He never does them. Reminds me of that evil Bannon stunt he pulled at the 2nd debate to try to throw HRC off her game.

        Perhaps Trump hopes to distract people from new victims coming forward?

        Good point. Chris Matthews thought maybe to squeeze the airtime on both sides of Thursday. I just want to know if I have to find some xanax!

        Educated guess - they’ve gotten info that’s when another victim will be going on a national broadcast and he’s trying to diminish the exposure.

        If they go thru with the vote, then we can be sure that this is a sample of things to come. November is our last chance to stop an authoritarian fascist state. Vote like your life depends on it.

        Well, Grassley claims that just part of regular procedure... they must schedule hearings 3 days in advance. But I *much prefer* your theory. Avenatti has yet to deliver, in any case.

        Assuming Avenatti represents a client w/ a legitimate complaint, I have to wonder if GOP operatives know of this "victim" and Avenatti knows they know. Is he dangling this client like a Sword of Damocles?

        Definitely wouldn’t shock me. We’re getting a justice Kavanaugh regardless of what comes out. From what I’ve read regarding Hatch’s amicus brief he filed in a case being heard by SCOTUS in the next session they want him seated and nothing is gonna stop that.

        Do they have the votes? Is this their way of disposing of a problem.: vote him down and move on to someone else more palatable?
