Rachel: Today Putin stuck his hand up our POTUS's jacket and moved our POTUS's mouth

She just now said that. Only she didn't say Putin; she said the other president who was the subject of the Mueller report. But that wouldn't fit in my title! Much more clever than saying Putin's puppet.

Are you watching Rachel tell why Mueller is extremely unhappy with Barr?

Rachel calling it Barr's wash, rinse repeat cycle.

Deutsche Bank, Anthony Kennedy connection...is Kavenaugh a link in this web?

From NYT article:

"The bank recruited a handful of Goldman Sachs traders to lead a push into commercial real estate. One was Justin Kennedy, the son of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy."

"Over the next few years, the commercial real estate group, with Mr. Kennedy now in a senior role, kept lending to Mr. Trump, including to buy the General Motors building in Manhattan. Occasionally, Justice Kennedy stopped by Deutsche Bank’s offices to say hello to the team, executives recalled."

How does this all tie in? Anyone remember the particulars better than I do? I remember it was like Kennedy in effect chose K to be his replacement but don't recall the details. Just how thick is this plot line?

Katie Porter on Lawrence: "I spend 2-3 hours reading/prepping before a hearing." She is GOOD!

This in answer to Lawrence asking her if she thought she would be able to pack so much into the allotted five minutes and giving her kudos for doing so. Imagine reading! She is brilliant. Cut right to the chase and pulled no punches in the Wells Fargo hearing.

SHe said we should neither impeach nor not impeach for political reasons, but for constitutional reasons.
