My favorite part is when John Dickerson tells Tom Cotton he needs to stop reciting all the facts about the way the judiciary committee works or there won’t be enough time to get in the needed CBS production narrative.
*Important note* Dianne Feinstein should not be considered an individual senator in this ongoing scheme. Many political observers forget it is the position, not the person, that determines who is used in their corrupt processes. In the Kavanaugh Scheme, the position of “ranking member of the Judiciary Committee” is the value to the resistance, not the individual person.
So far, the DC UniParty is executing this flawlessly.
Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Trey Gowdy appears on Sunday Morning with Maria Bartiromo to discuss his upcoming meeting with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Consider this the official triggering of phase #3 in a well planned, thoughtful, well mapped-out process by professional Democrats and their media allies.
…”We live in a world where the president is an accused serial abuser of women” … “In that world, the F.B.I. is now being asked to investigate, on a seven-day clock” … “If truth were the only goal, there would be no clock” …”It is idiotic to put a shot clock on the F.B.I.” … “the process is deeply flawed, and apparently designed to thwart the fact-gathering process” …
See where this is going? Note the message. Note the distribution venue. Follow the strategy:

Senate Judiciary Committee member Lindsey Graham walks through the events of the past several days and outlines his hopes for how the senate confirmation process will progress.
Senator Graham is optimistic the FBI report will leverage Flake, Collins and Murkowski to support the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh against their expressed opposition. West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin doesn’t have to do anything as long as the republicans are the opposition. This type of protection agreement is the UniParty way; it works in both directions.
Graham is making the same bet as President Trump; likely it was Graham who convinced POTUS into the FBI/VOTE delay. Hopefully, they are correct; I’m not convinced. We’ll see… maybe, in a few weeks… possibly, hopefully, sooner; if we get lucky. The UniParty goal is to keep pushing until the gravity of the mid-term election gains an unbreakable grip on Kavanaugh.
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy discusses the mid-term elections and the ramifications for republican candidates and politicians against the backdrop of the Kavanaugh hearings.
There is a crescendo of frustration within the electorate, I call it “Cold Anger”, ready to be unleashed. Unfortunately, the traditional republican approach -represented by the Kevin McCarthy/Mitch McConnell mindset- with any political controversy, is to frame the argument such that GOPe politicians cannot vote against the will of the electorate.
In the example of Jeff Flake, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, the GOPe strategy is to position Brett Kavanaugh, such that Flake, Murkowski and Collins cannot vote against the nomination. This is the Decepticon way; the way of the swamp.
Unfortunately, what most MAGA voters fail to understand is: each of the aforementioned senators want to vote against the nominee; their self-interests are aligned with the UniParty in opposition, not in favor. This endless quest to find ways to force the Decepticon politicians to vote with the will of the people is emotionally and mentally exhausting.
Generally overlooked by overwhelming news surrounding SCOTUS nominee Judge Kavanaugh; the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) voted yesterday to release the transcripts of more than fifty witnesses who gave testimony during the 2017/2018 investigation into Russian election interference.
Following the vote to release, the transcripts must first be reviewed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, for potential redactions of any classified or national security content before they are made public. [View the Full List Here]
Additionally, it is important to note these are not interviews surrounding the much more interesting joint house investigation reviewing the FBI and DOJ conduct and corruption. The HPSCI interviews only targeted a review of Russian interference. That said, there are some interviews which could share light on the activity within the Obama administration and the engagement with the intelligence community as the inside group planned the soft-coup attempt.
The decision to release the materials by Chairman Devin Nunes will provide 53 transcripts, likely thousands of pages, of testimony. Not all interviews are being released, and there is no time-frame established for when they become public. [List Here]
President Trump heads to Wheeling, West Virginia for a MAGA campaign rally ahead of the 2018 mid-term election. The venue is the Wesbanco Arena, in Wheeling.
A recent poll of West Virginia voters shows 58 percent think Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the Supreme Court following his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee last Thursday. This puts massive pressure on Democrat Senator Joe Manchin. The same poll shows that 33 percent of Virginia voters are looking at Manchin’s vote on Kavanaugh as a key factor on whether or not they would re-elect him. Manchin is currently in a competitive race against Republican candidate Patrick Morrisey.

Someone tipped-off Trudeau. An emergency series of last-minute phone calls surrounding the U.S-Mexico trade agreement has temporarily postponed releasing key details of the Mexico-U.S. trade agreement. Within the granules of this most important economic negotiation, we’ll likely find out exactly why POTUS was highly preoccupied Friday.
According to Reuters reporting Justin from Canada called Mexico’s President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador Thursday and asked him to use his influence to call the U.S. government requesting a delay so the Canadians could put a last-minute proposal into the mix.
Apparently someone finally informed Justin from Canada a bilateral trade strategy was hours away from being deployed. Important Note: Justin did not call current Mexican President Peña Niéto, the call was made to President-Elect Lopez Obrador.
(Via Reuters) […] Lopez Obrador told reporters in Mexico City that Trudeau asked him during a Thursday phone call “to intervene and call on the U.S. government to reach an agreement” with Canada. “We agreed to that.”
He said that regardless of the outcome with Canada the language of the agreement between Washington and Mexico City was now final. “We are not going to re-open the negotiation. That you can be sure of,” Lopez Obrador said. (read more)
As with all financial media reporting on trade you have to read “through” the pro-globalist, pro-Wall Street, spin to see the more important background picture. Wall Street, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the multinationals -together with Justin- are going bananas trying to retain maximum pressure against the White House in this U.S-Mexico deal.

Tucker Carlson:
“Kavanaugh stood up for those people yesterday. He raised a middle finger to their tormentors; and they love him for it. Kavanaugh is far more popular with republican voters today than any single republican senator; and he’s incalculably more popular than the senate as a whole.” … “Kavanaugh now has a constituency, a powerful one; and they will long remember whether republicans defend him in his moment of need”..
