Hannity, taking things in stride, calls the Nunes memo "the biggest abuse of power, corruption case in American history."
HANNITY: "The Mueller investigation does need to be shut down. And the people responsible who we will name tonight, many need to go to jail."
HANNITY: "This shredding of the constitution it is unprecedented in American history... They have aided and abetted what is a massive constitutional violation. Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein and others all need to be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
LOL Hannity seems to think he's really making a citizen's arrest of Comey over the Fox News airwaves
Hannity calls for Rosenstein's firing, and argues that since Rosenstein appointed Mueller, that means "the special counsel needs to be shut down immediately."
He also calls for charges against Manafort and Michael Flynn to be dropped.
Hannity concludes his monologue by asserting that the Nunes memo "should shatter the conscience of law-abiding American citizens." He suggests more memos are to come.
"Stay tuned -- tick tock."
During interview with Trump attorney @JaySekulow, Hannity claims James Comey "has a big legal problem" because the FBI used unverified info to obtain a warrant against Carter Page.
Trump's attorney agrees, says "that's not the way it works in a constitutional republic."
LOL -- Sekulow starts to talk about James Comey's harsh treatment of Hillary Clinton, realizes halfway through that the facts contradict the conspiracy theory he's now pushing, starts stammering, and then brings it back to attacking Comey
HANNITY: "If I was General Flynn tonight and [with] my lawyers, I'd be in a room tonight coming up with strategies. Same with Paul Manafort. I believe it should be disbanded."
Wow. @RepMarkMeadows agrees with Hannity's assertion that "this is the biggest abuse of power, corruption, scandal we have ever had," then accuses Hillary Clinton of "colluding" with Comey
After Hannity calls for Mueller's immediate firing, @RepMarkMeadows says "much of the information that actually called for a special prosecutor was tainted."
"You have to look at the fruit of a tainted investigation. And it's very troubling."
Unreal. Rep @Jim_Jordan calls for appointment of a "second special counsel" to investigate Comey/Clinton collusion. Says that person shouldn't be someone "from the swamp," but should be a "retired federal judge." (Mueller was made FBI director by Republican POTUS before retiring)

TRUMP: "[Haley] has been at the UN right from the beginning, & worked w/us on the campaign...it has been a long time, very intense & she told me probably six months ago, 'you know maybe at the end of a 2-year period, but at the end of the year I want to take a little time off.'"
HALEY: "I'm such a lucky girl to have been able to lead the state that raised me and to serve a country I love so very much has really been a blessing, and I want to thank you for that... the US Is strong again. The US is strong in a way it should make all Americans proud."
Nikki Haley describes Jared Kushner as "a hidden genius that no one understands."
Trump is about to deliver a speech to a gathering of police chiefs. Follow me for a video thread.
Trump on Hurricane Michael: "It's looking like it could be a very big one... good luck."
Trump lies, claims "before I took office less than two years ago, our nation was experiencing a historic surge in violent crime." (Violent crime has been steadily declining for more than two decades.)
TRUMP on Rod Rosenstein: "I actually have a good relationship other than, there's been no collusion folks!"
TRUMP attacks Democrats over Kavanaugh process: "The way they tortured him and his family, I thought it was a disgrace. It was one of the most disgraceful performances I've ever seen."
He then lies and says "there was no corroboration of any kind" for Dr Ford's accusation.
TRUMP: "I think a lot of Democrats are going to vote Republican because I have many friends that are Democrats. The main base of the Democrats have shifted so far left that we'll end up being Venezuela...I think a lot of Democrats are going to be voting Republican on Nov. 6."
Trump is about to deliver a speech in Topeka. Follow me for a video thread.
TRUMP: "I want to thank our incredible Republican senators for refusing to back down in the face of the Democrats' shameless campaign of political & personal destruction... radical Democrats launched a disgraceful campaign to resist & demolish right from the beginning."
TRUMP: "If you allow wrong people to get into office, things could change. They could change fast. We will not let that happen. It can go very quickly. We cannot let that happen. You don't hand matches to an arsonist and you don't get power to an angry left-wing mob."
Ahead of @SenatorCollins' speech on the Senate floor, protesters chant "believe women!" from the gallery
COLLINS is using her speech to criticize opponents of Kavanaugh as "frenzied," "spreading outright falsehoods," and representing "special interest groups."
COLLINS: "The president has broad discretion to consider a nominee's philosophy, whereas my duty as a senator is to focus on the nominee's qualifications as long as that nominee's philosophy is within the mainstream."
It sure sounds like she is going to announce a yes vote.
.@ChuckGrassley, who is struggling to read a statement on the Senate floor, baselessly accuses @SenFeinstein of "shameful" handling of Dr Ford's accusation because she didn't violate Ford's wishes and make an issue of it immediately
Grassley flat out lies, claims Ford's accusations are "refuted."
Grassley, getting angry, says "resistance" in a very odd way, closes by urging senators to "say no to mob rule by voting to confirm Judge Kavanaugh." #wut
