Comey previously testified that he briefed some of his “senior colleagues at the FBI” about his #loyalty conversation w/Trump.🤔
McCabe testified that Comey informed him of conversations he had w/Trump soon after they happened‼️🤗 2/
No surprise, McCabe’s testimony appears to corroborate Comey's prior account, including Trump's INSANE ask for a loyalty pledge‼️
Of course, Trump now denies that he ever made this ridiculous ask.🙄 3/
McCabe testified for *more than 14 hours* before members of the House Intelligence, Oversight & Judiciary committees.🤨
Republicans suddenly think the FBI is a “leftist” organization & want McCabe fired‼️🤬 4/
Taking cues from non-recusing Nunes, House Intel Republicans (of course!) grilled McCabe about how the FBI used the #SteeleDossier.🤨
Some Republicans were “dissatisfied” w/his responses.🙄
THE TRUTH HURTS, DOESN’T IT‼️ 5/
McCabe faced intense questioning from Republicans about the FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation, which many in the GOP believe was “unfair”. 🙄
.@HouseJudiciary Chair @RepGoodlatte defended the focus on the Clinton email investigation, saying it is consistent w/their focus on FBI decisions made in the 2016 elections.🤬
OMG...this guy. He needs to RETIRE already‼️ 7/
Once again, with EMPHASIS‼️
GOP @RepGoodlatte thinks it’s MORE important to investigate the FBI’s handling of Clinton’s email, than investigating how #Russia🇷🇺helped throw the election to Trump⁉️🤬 8/
Republicans are gunning for McCabe amid the release of PRIVATE texts sent btwn Peter Strzok, who was IMMEDIATELY removed from Team🇺🇸Mueller when the texts were discovered, & Lisa Page. The texts also criticized liberals, including Bernie Sanders & Chelsea Clinton.🙄 10/
👇🏼THIS👇🏼is what a Witch Hunt looks like‼️
Even worse, the #GOP is *refusing* to investigate the REAL crisis👉🏼#TrumpRussia🇷🇺

Ranking Member of House Judiciary @RepJerryNadler HAMMERS #NotSoGoodlatte: “This hearing is part of an ongoing Republican attempt to divert attention.”🙄
YUP‼️ 12/
The Republicans can play their “kabuki theater” all they want, but the TRUTH & #RuleOfLaw *will* prevail‼️
Trump's deputy campaign chair Rick Gates solicited proposals (#felony) from Israeli firm Psy Group to create fake online personas, use social media manipulation & gather intel to help defeat @GOP primary opponents (@tedcruz) & @HillaryClinton🤨1/ nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…
Gates wasn't interested in Psy Group b/c other Trump aides oversaw social media. George Nader & Joel Zamel (Psy Group owner) met w/Don Jr & offered to help *THROW THE ELECTION* at an Aug'16 meeting arranged by Erik Prince‼️
George Birnbaum (Arthur Finkelstein protégé/@GOP consultant who worked for Netanyahu & other Israeli officials) initially pitched Gates on using social media influence/manipulation to sway @GOP delegates toward Trump.🤨 3/
🔥@GOP operative Peter Smith raised >$100,000 to pay #Russian🇷🇺hackers to find Clinton’s emails. 10 days after telling his story to the @WSJ, he committed suicide, yet a friend spoke w/him about a new project hours before his death & says he was “excited.” wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
Smith continued his quest for HRC’s emails *after* the US warned of #Russian🇷🇺interference & went to extraordinary lengths to ensure secrecy, communicating via saved DRAFT (unsent) emails in a shared Gmail account.🤨
🔥One sent email said the >$100k in donations were to be sent to a DC-based scholarship fund for **Russian students**👉🏼“This $100k total with the $50k received from you (Smith) will allow us to fund the Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian students for the promised $150K.”
We Democrats realize that you are in a tough re-election battle, but backing #Kavanaugh only brings you more scorn from the @GOP and erodes your much-needed support from @TheDemocrats base.
Connie Chung to Dr. Ford: “I, too, was sexually assaulted—not 36 years ago but ~50 years ago. I kept my dirty little secret to myself. Silence for 5 decades...The exact date & year are fuzzy. But details of the event are vivid—forever seared in my memory.” washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinio…
Connie Chung: “Christine, I, too, am terrified as I reveal this publicly. I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. Can you? If you can’t, I understand. I am frightened, I am scared, I can’t even cry.”😰
Chung: “I wish I could forget this truthful event, but I cannot because it is the truth. I am writing to you b/c I know that exact dates, exact years are insignificant. We remember exactly what happened to us & who did it to us. We remember the truth forever.”
Charles Ludington, a former varsity basketball player & friend of #Kavanaugh at @Yale plans to deliver a statement to the @FBI field office in Raleigh on Monday detailing **violent drunken behavior** by Kavanaugh in college. 1/
Ludington says #Kavanaugh initiated a fight that led to the ARREST of a friend: “When Brett got drunk, he was often belligerent & aggressive...” 2/
“On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.”😳 3/
Rod Rosenstein suggested last year that he secretly record Trump to expose "chaos" consuming the administration & discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the #25thAmendment.
Will Trump use this as an excuse to fire Rosenstein⁉️
Rosenstein made his remarks about the #25thAmendment & secretly recording Trump in meetings & conversations w/other DOJ & FBI officials. Several people (briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by FBI officials, including McCabe) described the episodes.🤨
Rosenstein reportedly told McCabe that he might be able to persuade Jeff Sessions & John Kelly to mount an effort to invoke the #25thAmendment.
All of these incidents allegedly occurred around the time that @Comey was fired. Rosenstein was very distressed & felt he was used.🤔
