Why I believe Christine Blasey Ford.
Why you should believe Christine Blasey Ford.
And why the #Kavanaugh nomination should come to a screeching halt.

<THREAD>
1) First the obvious. Dr. Christine Ford has 3rd party documentation dating from 2012. It doesn’t name Kavanaugh, but it names the circumstances. She’s got the receipts, baby!
2) Second, she has already taken a polygraph test. Has #Kavanaugh taken a polygraph test? No. And considering the number of times he has already been found to lie under oath, he probably should have!
3) That list of 65 women who are standing up for Kavanaugh. Well, well, well. Ain’t that just too nice of them. I don’t know about you, but I can’t count 65 men from my high school days, and unlike #Kavanaugh I went to a COED school.
4) And that friend of #Kavanaugh’s…the one who stood up for him and said that Brett could never do anything like that. Well, that character witness ain’t so hot. He has purged his Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc. Seems he has a bit of a Lolita fixation.
5) But let’s zero in on something I think is very important. #Kavanaugh lies. Yes, he has been caught in so many lies, and just recently he was caught in yet another lie when Senator Hirono of Hawaii asked him about personal sexual misconduct. He lied once again.
6) Another time #Kavanaugh lied is when he said he went into great debt over baseball tickets. I don't mean to insult a baseball team, but who would go into debt to the tune of $50,000 to $200,000 for baseball tickets to see the Washington Nationals?
7) And why does #Kavanaugh need to lie to his wife and keep his gambling weekend a secret?

This from him in an email exchange about a gambling trip: "Reminders to everyone to be very, very vigilant w/r/t confidentiality on all issues and all fronts, including with spouses.”
8) Does #Kavanaugh gamble and have blackouts? How does he explain this email exchange authored by him?

“Apologies to all for missing Friday (good excuse), arriving late Saturday (weak excuse), and growing aggressive after blowing still another game of dice (don’t recall)."
9) What about his multiple lies about his finances? For instance, how with less than $65,000 in the bank, did #Kavanaugh manage to cough up the $92,000 initiation fee to join the Chevy Chase Country Club? #WhoOwnsKavanaugh
10) As a federal judge, #Kavanaugh earns a salary of $220,600 a year. How & why did he have debt between $50,000 and $200,000 which he attributed primarily to BASEBALL SEASON TICKETS? Cough! Cough! Excuse me? That does not seem plausible.
11) #Kavanaugh ran up excessive debt, exceeding the value of his cash and investment assets. His debts on three credit cards, and a loan from his retirement account was between $60,000 and $200,000 in 2016. The next year the debt vanished LIKE MAGIC. #WhoOwnsKavanaugh
12) #Kavanaugh said he took a loan from his TSP to make the down payment on his home, but he had only $70,000 in his TSP at the time. (You're only allowed to take out 50% of a TSP account). So that was obviously a lie. Man! For a judge, that guy lies great! #WhoOwnsKavanaugh
13) #Kavanaugh bought a $1.225 million dollar house and would have needed. $245,000 for the down payment. At the time he reported a net worth of only $91,000. He only had $10,000 in the bank and he owed $25,000 in credit card debt. Smells fishy! #WhoOwnsKavanaugh?
4) How did #Kavanaugh quickly pay off 3 credit cards and a loan debt between $150,000 to $200,000 on his and his wife’s salary. I'm sorry, but they simply don’t make enough to pull that off. It doesn't make any sense! Very fishy! #KavanaughStinks #WhoOwnsKavanaugh?
15) How did Kavanaugh’s Bank of America account increase value from between $15,000 & $50,000 in 2009 to between $100,000 & $250,000 in 2010, if he reported no increase in income or gifts? Is there something we should know? #WhoOwnsKavanaugh #KavanaughStinks
16) #Kavanaugh must have a money tree. There's no way he and his wife could get rid of this amount of debt in one year with their incomes. And he doesn't own stock that he could have sold. We'er talking $200k of debt gone in less than 2 years? No Way!
17) Kavanaugh actively supported a judge who defended a state law banning interracial marriage and campaigned for an avowed segregationist. Then #Kavanaugh lied about that support under oath. He’s an awful man.
18) We now know that #Kavanaugh lied under oath in 2004, in 2006 and in 2018. He lied about his record. He lied about using stolen documents. He lied about his work on illegal warrantless wiretapping. He should not be considered for #SCOTUS!
19) Let’s remember that #Kavanaugh wasn't even on the original Federalist list and McConnell didn’t want him because there was too much of a paper trail that would make him a difficult candidate to pass through to nomination. But Trump wanted him, and you know why!
20) ...and remember, Justice Kennedy himself has reason for wanting Kavanaugh. They go back a ways. Kennedy, Gorsuch and #Kavanaugh. They’re all part of a good ole’ boys network.

But wait! There's more!
21) Justice Kennedy wasn't planning to retire, but reports surfaced about his son's shady #TrumpRussia deals. Kavanaugh was a reliable GOP operative who clerked for Kennedy along with Gorsuch. #Kavanaugh was financially polished up F-A-S-T so a nomination could be rammed thru.
22) It’s all so sordid. This entire #Kavanaugh nomination was rushed through in such a horrid way and for horrid reasons. And now we have this serious and extremely believable sexual assault allegation by an very credible person. I say again, this nomination must halt.
22) The glue which hold @SCOTUS together...which holds our entire legal system together is INTEGRITY. We simply can not have a #SCOTUS justice who has repeatedly lied under oath. #Kavanaugh must remove himself from consideration. Justice may be blind, but we are not.

Mitch McConnell says that this will "all blow over".

But the #KavanaughAffair deserves to be told and remembered. It's a political thriller which includes sexual assault, drunken violence, shady finances, perjury, and much more.

This entire story must be told!

<THREAD>
1) There are so many questions about the #KavanaughAffair.

Why was Kavanaugh chosen above others?
Why were his work records hidden away by a guy named Bill Burck?
Who prevented the FBI from investigating fully?
And why did Justice Kennedy announce his resignation so abruptly?
2) We know Kavanaugh was Justice Kennedy's law clerk & Kennedy wanted Kavanaugh to replace him on the SCOTUS bench.
Three questions:
a) Did Kennedy make a deal with Trump?
b) Why EXACTLY was it important for Kennedy to have Kavanaugh replace him?
c) When did the planning begin?

I have so many question about the #KavanaughAffair. The alleged sexual assaults, the lies under oath, the boozing, the shady finances. I want to know how Kavanaugh's name was chosen. I want to know Justice Kennedy's involvement. There's enough here for a book!

3) Let's try to answer c) When did the planning for Kavanaugh to replace Kennedy begin? A good place to look might be at Kavanaugh's own website. The one created to promote his candidacy for the Supreme Court bench. Gee! I wonder what the date of creation was?

Below are 31 times Kavanaugh lied under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Please remember that lying under oath is a felony. It doesn't matter if it's about drinking or sex or using stolen documents or lying about political matters.

A lie is a lie.

<THREAD>
Lie 1) In 2004, Kavanaugh claimed nomination of anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ judge William Pryor was “not one that I worked on personally.”

Truth: Newly released emails showed Kavanaugh was involved in selecting Pryor, interviewing him, and working to confirm him.
Lie 2) In 2006, Kavanaugh denied he “primarily handl[ed]” nomination of racist Judge Charles Pickering, who reduced sentence of man convicted of burning a cross in front of interracial couple’s house.

Truth: Emails show Kavanaugh prepared documents on Pickering's behalf.

Let’s break down some this #Kavanaugh bullshit down and have a little fun in the process - although I'm afraid my descriptions may be a little dark and stormy at times.

<I hope you will enjoy this thread>
2) First, can we all agree that while people are able to change their lives, most of us have our basic character established by the time we are 18 years of age? (And probably earlier than that.) Yeah sure. One can break the mold and change dramatically, but most of us don’t.
3) Given that as a truism, let us compare Merrick Garland’s year book to Brett Kavanaugh’s. Garland's shows a studious guy on the honor roll and student council. While Kavanaugh is absorbed with boofing, devil’s triangle and FFFF (Find em, feel em, f*ck em and forget em).

I think this morning we need a little thread about Brett Kavanaugh and gambling. What do you think? Wanna join me for a quick game?

<THREAD>
1) It’s starts with the massive debt Kavanaugh accrued by allegedly buying baseball tickets. He carried $60,000 to $200,000 of debt on credit cards which he SAYS was for baseball tickets. slate.com/news-and-polit…
2) "Kavanaugh would have had to buy nine top-tier season tickets to reach the LOWER limit of the debt that the White House says he accrued because of baseball."

Hmmmmm. Very interesting.

Brett #Kavanaugh doesn't have the integrity to be on SCOTUS. Kavanaugh committed AT LEAST 5 instances of perjury. This is judicial misconduct. Let me spell some of it out for you and tell you what YOU can do. #StopKavanaugh #PerjuryBrett

<THREAD>
1) In 2002 Manny Miranda stole thousands of documents belonging to Dems. Kavanaugh worked alongside Miranda. During a 2004 confirmation hearing Kavanaugh denied receiving any of the documents Miranda stole. In 2006 he lied again under oath. We now know he committed perjury.
2) At a 2006 confirmation hearing, Kavanaugh told @SenatorLeahy that he knew nothing of an illegal warrantless wiretapping program until the New York Times broke the story in 2005. Now we know he was lying. He committed perjury.
