David Apol, Acting Director & Gen Counsel for Office of Gov Ethics, sent a letter faulting Wilbur Ross for omissions & inaccurate statements submitted to OGE, citing 2 sales of Invesco stock after Ross certified at the beginning of November 2017 he complied w his ethics agreement
Invesco is the parent company of W.L. Ross & Co., private equity firm Ross founded. OGE says Ross later submitted a transaction report that included the Invesco sales dated December 21st, 2017. Bloomberg says the sales amounted to $20 million dollars. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The OGE also faulted Ross for opening short positions that "appear to have been an ineffective attempt to remedy your actual or apparent failure to timely divest assets per your ethics agreement."
Ross responded to Apol's letter with a statement posted on the Commerce Department's website. The statement includes a link to Apol's letter and quotes Ross as saying he takes his "ethics obligations very seriously." (commerce.gov/news/press-rel…)
Ross admitted to making what he called "inadvertent errors." But he said, "my investments were complex and included hundreds of items. I self-reported each error, and worked diligently with my department's ethics officials to make sure I avoided any conflicts of interest."
Ross said his ethics agreement allows him to retain some private equity holdings, but that "to maintain trust, I have directed that all of my equity holdings be sold and the proceeds placed in U.S. Treasury securities."
Ross profited significantly during and after the mandatory divestment period, according to an investigation by @ProPublica publicintegrity.org/2018/07/05/219…

Senator Collins is waning on about interest groups against Kavanaugh but IGNORES dark money interest groups in support of Kavanaugh.
Senator Collins references Kavanaugh’s judicial record. She disagrees w notion he will eliminate ACA protections, pointing to his dissent in Holder. She argues that his views on severability is narrow.
She addresses the concern about Kavanaugh protecting the POTUS. She argues that Kavanaugh defers to legislative authority. She argues Clinton got 2 justices confirmed while under Whitewater investigation and 3 Nixon appointees ruled against Nixon ruled against Nixon.

1/ Here is what really bothers me about Kavanaugh: he feels he deserves everything he has and will have because he has earned it. This is a uniquely Calvinist-origin ideology. It is also precisely one of the things which **theologically** distinguishes Catholics from Protestants.
2/ The implications are enormous if one considers the reverse scenario: those to whom life has brought hardship are unworthy, lazy, and have not “earned” their way. Protestant-Calvinist thinking is deeply entrenched in American culture, especially at Yale. christianity.com/church/denomin…
3/ If Kavanaugh adhered to Catholic teaching, he would have by this age internalized that it is mandatory we give a preferential option to the poor. He would practice the Corporal Works of Mercy. He would NOT insist that his success is due to his own merit or worth.

A new article discussing Deripaska, Steele, Waldman, and Assange by @IgnatiusPost requires some serious unpacking. Christopher Steele worked for Deripaska in 2012. (washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-gop…)
Deripaska was interviewed by the FBI in 2015, 2016, and possibly in 2017.
In 2009, while Mueller was FBI Director, the FBI conducted a covert outreach to Deripaska to locate missing CIA contractor Robert Levinson. (I believe this was accomplished through John McCain).

1/ Let’s look behind impious Catholics and their pink flamingos () and Catholic Kellyann Conway self-righteous-types tub shitters (), and dissect the “Kavanaugh Catholic” — with the caveat I, too am a Catholic.
2/ First, we all witnessed Kavanaugh last night make several public pronouncements, to wit:
“I was a virgin.”
“I was busy studying.”
“I was the Captain of my football team.”
“I have never sexually assaulted anyone, ever.”
3/ Kavanaugh had his wife by his side, who vouched for him throughout. He also claimed to have spent his career as a champion for women and women’s issues. Neither Kavanaugh nor his wife (whom he met after high school) addressed the bevy of mounting evidence against him.

What this means is that the Kremlin is weighing in. Drudge Report is a Kremlin conduit. This party just got started.
Here's how the Russians targeted Ohio for the 2016 election (using Drudge Report) dispatch.com/news/20180220/…
As of mid-September 2016, Drudge Report had linked to state Russian media 91x in 2016. It's a Putin arm. mediamatters.org/blog/2016/09/1…

In accordance w the Violence Against Women & Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2013 (“VAWA 2013”), officers and/or investigators may not require victims of sexual assault to submit to a polygraph test or other truth-telling devices.
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE
POLICY AND TRAINING CONTENT GUIDELINES — The Senate Judiciary Committee is doing everything WRONG.
The unwarranted exertion of control by @ChuckGrassley over a putative sexual assault victim violates every single guideline recommendation of the Intl Assoc of Chiefs of Police.
