Need help, supersleuths!

Can anyone find any reference to Paul Manafort having any business dealings or interest in anything involving South America, or Ecuador in particular?

TIA!

Kavanaugh is an Alcoholic, isn't he?

Or does being highly functional de facto mean one is not an addict?

So why isn't that term being used instead of "he likes beers?"

Kavanaugh the Alcoholic Supreme Court Nominee

I think that what Flake actually did, was..

... agree to vote it out of committee, and *suggest* that he *might* vote no on the floor if the FBI investgation and/or one week delay does not happen.

What are the "best" sections of Fear?

I have a short free trial, so have the audiobook, but not enough time to hear it all. Can anyone point to sections that are very interesting and mostly not reported in the media? Something I'm not likely to have already heard about? Thanks much!.

Same for Omarosa's book, while I'm at it...

I'll bet Kav's friend tries to take the fall

They'll say she's mixed up, but that Kavanaigh was the one at the door (bad enough itself).

Is it just me, or does Beto O'Rourke look like RFK?

Just saw him on Colbert and that was my first impression.

Doesn't hurt that his birth name is Robert Francis...

IF KAVANAUGH VOTE CAN BE DELAYED

Then no matter what, this is no nothing-burger!!

(Sorry for yelling.)

The way things have been going lately, with huge stories breaking daily, every single day that Kavanaugh is not yet on the SC is a win.

I cannot understand why there are so many posts on DU downplaying this! Is there a risk it's another Dan Rather situation? Of course, but: we are at the point where it behooves us to try *anything* to delay this confirmation! No matter what. Any effort we make now will pale in comparison to what we would have to do *later* to reverse this abomination!

We've been begging and screaming for the Dems to do something, and then Booker stepped up. Now DiFi does something and some people are dismissing it before really knowing any facts!

We are fighting a ground war right now, where every single inch of territory gained is a victory!

There’s a big #KremlinGate story in the works, patriots. Don’t know when it will break, but it’s coming in the near future. Stay tuned.

Did DiFi just throw a hail Mary and win the game?

Is it conjecture or hyperbolic to say Kavanaugh's nomination is over?

ETA 2: yesterday, the Intercept was the only one covering this story, so we were waiting to see if any action would be taken, which apparently has happened.

In short, DiFi has referred to the FBI a letter that she has received regarding a woman's complaint against Kavanaugh, seemingly related to something she says happened during High School, which they attended together.
