Dianne Feinstein: "I am writing to request an immediate postponement of any further proceedings related to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. I also ask that the newest allegations of sexual misconduct be referred to the FBI for investigation."
BREAKING: White House says new allegation against Judge Kavanaugh is "the latest in a coordinated smear campaign by the Democrats designed to tear down a good man" and it "stands firmly behind Judge Kavanaugh.”

Left: An email Avenatti says he sent to the Senate, which refers to a woman being “used for sex by multiple men.” Right: Mark Judge’s ex in the NYer, describing his recollection of an “incident that involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman.”

I go case by case. @ronanfarrow fresh from sliming @SenFeinstein and exposing Prof Ford against her will comes with a threadbare story that detracts from Dr. Ford’s serious accusation. Accuser, even by her own account, could not remember because drunk. IMO this hurts Dr. Ford.

My e-mail of moments ago with Mike Davis, Chief Counsel for Nominations for U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary. We demand that this process be thorough, open and fair, which is what the American public deserves. It must not be rushed and evidence/witnesses must not be hidden.

I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge. We will be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee and will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify. The nomination must be withdrawn.

With another credible, corroborated allegation of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh, it’s time for him to do the right thing. Withdraw your nomination, Judge Kavanaugh.

The defendants below, who could be very dangerous, were released because they could afford bail. Then law enforcement freaked out and they were put back in custody. Another example of why money bail is an irrational system. Danger to society should not be based on cash on hand.
