David Cay Johnston tweet nails Senate GOP - & he wants us to call their offices

Tweeted minutes ago:





Using language I don’t like but @ChuckGrassley & @OrrinHatch will get, call @SenateGOP offices, tell them real men don’t hide behind a “girl lawyer” to interrogate a woman (Dr Ford) about attempted rape. What are you good old boys afraid of?

A bunch of withered old men drilling a sexual abuse victim isn't a good look. But it would never, ever occur to them that an easy way to avoid that is to--you know--have women on your side of the committee. Instead, they want to cower under their desks while a "girl" does their jobs for them.

Links to a 59 page letter from folks who used to work in Kozinki's office - Kavanaugh's former employer. They want to give testimony on Kreepy Kavanaugh, but no one will listen.

The letter, sent July 24, 2018 to Sens Grassely and Feinstein, describes problems in Kozinski's court with heavy porn access on court computers, including access to teen porn sites. The IT dept instituted controls on access, which Kozinski then had removed. There were also transfers of docs between court and private emails that created security risks for official and confidential court docs.

See page 55. tps://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4895867/Grassley-Letter-07-24-2018.pdf …

Weird stuff. This is Kavanaugh's mentor. Kav also hired Kozinski's son.

I really trust this man, he tells it like it is. I've seen the 'good ole boys' club in action many year. They're disgusting egotists. Thanks Mr. Johnston for helping us to see the reality.
