If Rosenstein departs, Noel Francisco should not oversee the Special Counsel investigation. His previous firm Jones Day represents the @realDonaldTrump campaign in the Special Counsel investigation. This is a huge conflict of interest.

It’s not even clear yet if Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is actually going anywhere. But Trump’s lawyers still want his exit to block, if temporarily, the Russia investigation

Looks like the White House is lying to the American people by claiming that Rosenstein verbally resigned to WH Chief of Staff John Kelly. Who ultimately oversees the Russia probe could well hinge on whether he resigned or was fired, so this isn't just any white lie from the WH

Having Kavanaugh withdraw on his own, and doing so as soon as possible, is by far the least-worst scenario for the GOP, politically. Everything else is really, really risky.

80,000 votes in 3 states put Trump in the White House. Now a meticulous analysis of online activity during the campaign makes a powerful case that cyberattacks by Russian hackers and trolls were decisive:

We are calling on the Committee and Senator Grassley to immediately request that Mark Judge testify under oath about the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. They should not be hiding witnesses. The Committee works for the American people and this is a search for the truth.

Senator Feinstein is right. This is a lifetime appointment - there is zero reason to rush. The committee and the FBI should do a full investigation, giving Republicans time to do some soul searching.

As a former prosecutor, I know that people who engage in deviant sexual behavior don't just do it once. This appears to be the case with Kavanaugh. There are many judges @POTUS can nominate who don't have multiple sexual misconduct claims against them. Kavanaugh must withdraw

That is a HIGHLY irresponsible response to serious allegations of sexual misconduct. We are considering a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. It's critical that Ms. Ramirez's allegations are investigated by the FBI & I thank her for the courage she has shown by coming fwd.
