        See my solution: Senate Democrats submit written questions on Whelan/McGahn/Squi, like they did for Sessions during his confirmation and after his perjured. @steve_vladeck @McDeereUSA @EricColumbus @AshaRangappa_ @joshchafetz @Mimirocah1 @danielsgoldmanhttps://twitter.com/jedshug/status/1046388862245842945?s=21 …

        Jed Shugerman added,

        Jed Shugerman @jedshug
        4/ There is a remedy for Congress to ask some of these questions *without* relying on the FBI: When Sessions had been misleading in his confirmation hearings on Russia, Senators submitted questions for written answers. Felony false statement law applies: https://shugerblog.com/2017/03/03/sessions-committed-perjury-and-must-resign/ …

        Replying to @jedshug @emptywheel and

        2/ Ask for a list of whom Kavanaugh met or spoke with on Sun/Mon/Tues as Whelan started his work. Did K meet with Leo? Did he explain who Squi was? Will his answers be forthcoming? No. But silence is damning. Lies set up felony. And the truth is probably politically toxic.

        Legally speaking, can scope of law enforcement inquiry be contained? If law enforcement discovers illegal actions, don't they have to investigate?

        Yes but not if this wasn’t the understanding and especially because trump is saying one thing and doing another as he did with travel ban. Need injunction. Ex-parte. @ChrisCoons please find a judge. Drive to DC. Trump is defying his own words. You can accomplish this. Not hard.

        Possibly WH staff are running show (as op-ed stated) but still think law enforcement would/should pursue all claims bc that is their job.

        If Trump didn't order or approve this, McGahn should be asked to leave today. If he did, he should be out Monday. Should. Not will.

        McGahn knew ahead of the hearing that that there'd be issues;that's why all the coaching in the #WhiteHouse occurred; he didn't need any1 to tell that the scope needed 2 B limited

        It might be fair to assume that they already knew the lay of the land which is why they didn't want to have the FBI reopen the background check after Dr. Ford's accusation became public. This is Plan B.

        Why, why, why do they want Kav so bad? And if it is now Bush and Cheney whipping the votes, and McGahn on details...this is the powers that be, big time. Hard not to worry that there is some upcoming agenda they want greenlighted.

        Check Mark Judge phone records. Level of obstruction could be far worse than we’ve imagined.

        Even if it was Whelan, he’s just an agent for Kavanaugh.
