Quote of the day...

Bob Menendez read the FBI report on Kavanaugh - "if that’s an investigation, it’s a bullshit investigation".

Kavanaugh in 2015: "'First and most obviously,' a judge cannot be a 'political partisan.' A jurist, he added, must 'avoid any semblance of…partisanship.'

Richard Blumenthal: "I have seen it and I want to re-read parts of it, but my very emphatic opinion is that this set of interviews is at best, most charitably, woefully incomplete. To put it bluntly, it smacks of a whitewash, even a cover up."
