I wanted to take a minute to talk about the OUTSTANDING work of @SenAmyKlobuchar over the past few days and dedicate an entire thread to it. She's been steady, compassionate AND persuasive, despite incredible misogyny from Kavanaugh and fellow senators. Let's start here...1/ The disrespect, contempt and combativeness displayed by Kavanaugh to @amyklobuchar was amplified to the women who questioned him. Here Kavanaugh continues to attack her, despite the fact that she is a sitting senator, interviewing him FOR A JOB. Watch how angry he gets. 2/

Here is the sworn affidavit of @MichaelAvenatti client Julie Swetnick, who claims she witnessed both Kavanaugh and Judge "cause girls to become inebriated...so they could be gang raped and also says she was a vicim of such a "gang rape" at a party where both men were present. 1/ In addition to claiming, under oath, that she was gang raped at one of the house parties attended by both Kavanaugh and Judge, Julie Swetnick specifically references "Beach Week" on page 2 of the affidavit that has just been filed on her behalf by @MichaelAvenatti. 2/

In this @CNN video claiming to present the "average female viewer" we have:
✔︎Gina Sosa, failed GOP Trumper candidate for #FL27
✔︎Irina Villarino, Trump supporter and operative who helped with GOP tax bill
✔︎Lourdes Castillo de la Peña, Ted Cruz operative and fundraiser 1/ .@GinaSosa, second from the right, is a tremendously unsuccessful GOP politician that got less than 2% of the primary vote in #FL27 who is working hard for any relevance within the party. huffingtonpost.com/entry/candidat… 2/

The George Papadopoulos defense sentencing memo is out and I am struck by several things, including what we know to be true based on common sense observation of patterned behavior by Trump and his associates and what can be proven in a court of law. 1/ documentcloud.org/documents/4807… The first thing that struck me was the continued mentioning Papadopoulos' lack of experience and qualifications regarding US and Russian diplomacy. He was hungry and eager but he was completely out of his depth and had no real connections for Trump at the time. 2/

I have read the #NunesMemo and will now break it down, point by ridiculous point. 1. 2nd pp: "Page is a US Citizen who served as a volunteer to the Trump Campaign-"Nunes states this as a fact-this directly disputes what Trump says: Page was never involved in his campaign. 2. Nunes details HOW the FISA warrant was obtained/references the direct reasons justifying it despite never having read the FISA warrant and not providing the underlying intelligence to the public to determine if this assessment is correct-we're supposed to take his word for it.

THREAD: As a lawyer and the daughter of a judge, I am HORRIFIED by the incompetent Trump nominees before the Senate Judiciary Committee, who stand to get appointed FOR LIFE. 1/ I know that so many of you feel helpless to stop many of the actions of Trump and a Congress who will not show leadership to stop these unqualified nominees, BUT I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP. 2/

This is a complicated indictment that will take a while in prep and trial-Mueller is using Manafort and Gates to fry bigger fish. 1/ These charges, if proven show that Manafort and Gates acted WITH INTENT which brings this to the criminal level. 2/

Felix Sater's email for the Trump Tower Moscow references "world peace" and "making lots of money" and was sent to Trump's lawyer, Cohen. 1/ Sater claimed in an email to have lined up financing for the Trump tower project from VTB Bank, Russia's 2nd largest bank. 2/
