The fucking MEDIA needs to get vocal about it and stop putting hate-filled, violent, self-righteous liars like Conway and Graham on the screen..

should file a criminal complaint against Kavanaugh for sexual assault and against Trump for obstructing the investigation into Kavanaugh.

If so, why hasn't she already? I would think Avenatti would have done this by now.
The Wizard
(12,541 posts)6. If it happened in Maryland
there is no statute of limitations for sex crimes. Maybe they want to serve a summons on Kavanaugh while he's on the Bench.

(51,584 posts)7. I hope they wouldn't want to wait and let it get
to that point. Do it ASAP!
The Wizard
(12,541 posts)8. The Bench could very well be
The DC Circuit where he currently sits.

Marty Lederman Retweeted Donald J. Trump
Hmmm. As Chris Wray surely knows, Don McGahn has no legal authority to direct or limit the FBI's background check. This tweeter is the only officer in the Office of the POTUS with the power to do so. So his word--not McGahn's--governs.

Note to @FBI: whatever instructions White House staff gave you, the Presidents tweet below is actually (no, really Im not kidding) an order from the President. DOJs legal view is that a presidential order need not take any special form; if the president orders it, it counts.
