The entire NYT story smells like a Trump ambush. Trump knew ANONYMOUS sources would be too tempting. His “stable state allies” fed it. This is an elaborate plan to fire Rosenstein. This could set the country on fire. https://t.co/6C9kBU7qWr

The New York Times is being played.

Someone in the White House leaked this to them so Trump would have an excuse to fire Rosenstein and replace him with someone who will obstruct the Mueller investigation.

Y'all let yourselves be used. Just like in 2016. https://t.co/QACFAgSdDR

A former DOJ official says any reference by Rosenstein to 25th Amendment would've been a joke because he knows the law and that 25th is harder to invoke than impeachment. Earlier on that point: https://t.co/98p26KQMyV

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Please get briefed on why sexual assault victims don't report. From gymnasts to altar boys & girls to wrestlers to students, there are many cases where victims don't report.

Dr. Ford did report the assault to her therapist in 2012, & passed a lie detector. https://t.co/hjv1JLRHkU

Post doesn’t come out and say it but seems overwhelmingly likely Kavanaugh knew about Whelan’s nutbar theory, possibly played some role in concocting it. https://t.co/LEXPF9l6Tk pic.twitter.com/6Wlgbdy6OS

Wow, via @ScottCLandis, here’s a now-deleted tweet from @OrrinHatch’s deputy CoS @mattdizwhitlock previewing the Whelan hit job. Hatch has been in close contact with Kavanaugh, already floated odd “Kavanaugh says he wasn’t even there” defense. (Also fiercely defended Rob Porter.) pic.twitter.com/ro15sVJBz9

Here's an idea. Kavanaugh can clear this part of the current crapstorm up by saying: "I had no part in this thing Whelan did, I do not endorse it, and have never suggested anyone take such a story forward."
If he can't say that, he should be done.

CRC Public Relations, a powerhouse conservative firm, guided Ed Whelan on his Twitter fiasco, according to Politico.

Its current clients include the Federalist Society and the Judicial Crisis Network, the chief outside groups working to confirm Kavanaugh.https://t.co/yzvbGDNXzG

So we have the bizarre spectacle that the DUP appear to have paralysed Northern Ireland, then the UK ands now Europe in their campaign against special status for Ni which the majority of Northern Ireland parties elected to the last Assembly actually WANT. This is madness. https://t.co/EcdIszQ9tM

The people with the strongest opinions about the EU have turned out to be the people who knew the least about it. Remarkably, they knew even less about the Good Friday Agreement. Understand this & it all makes sense of sorts…
But still they spout their nonsense.
