Presumed guilty until proven guilty
Team KAVANAUGH ACCUSER has revealed the terms under which the accuser will testify before the Senate.
Among the terms: Only members of the committee — no lawyers — can question her; Kavanaugh cannot be in the room at the time; and Kavanaugh should be questioned first, before he has the opportunity to hear Ford’s testimony.
Right, OK. The purpose of this entire spectacle is to slow down the Kavanaugh confirmation process and throw as much crap at him as possible to see if his confirmation can be stopped. The left doesn’t care if he is guilty or not, they do not care if they destroy his reputation, they do not care if they destroy his family. The ends justify the means for them, don’t you ever forget that.
The ACCUSER’s attorney said that she would appear as long as senators provide “terms that are fair and which ensure her safety.”
It was not immediately clear whether Senate Republicans would agree to Ford’s latest requests, but they reportedly have indicated they were considering them. Judiciary Committee Republicans have offered Ford the opportunity to testify privately, and have indicated they’re willing to fly out to California “or anywhere else” to question her there if she would find that more convenient.
Have we jettisoned the American judicial tradition where people are presumed innocent until proven guilty or are we going to just sit back and let the left commandeer the confirmation process to prosecute their pet #metoo cause? Kavanaugh would not be able to respond to any accusation if he “testifies” first. What’s he going to say, “whatever she says, I didn’t do it”? Come on, man. If the Senate Judiciary can’t stand up to this attempt to derail the confirmation of the president’s nominee to SCOTUS, the Republicans deserve to lose the Senate. What’s the point of having control if the Democrats are still calling the shots? Who would turn out to vote for these jokers on “our” side?

Mueller’s cozy relationship with the press
Newly released messages show how chummy the Mueller Witch Hunters were/are with the media.
Hundreds of pages of emails and text messages released from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) special counsel’s office through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request show an ongoing relationship between Robert Mueller’s team and the press, according to an investigation by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The documents, released in September, span months of communication and include messages from reporters ranging from a variety of outlets, including TheDCNF, The Washington Post and BuzzFeed.
A “vast majority” of the text messages ended with “no comment,” however “the messages expose Mueller’s team was willing to meet with a number of reporters in private meetings and over the phone.”
This is a hoot, these little babies throwing each other under the bus:
CNN’s Evan Perez, who had extensive conversations with Carr from at least May through August 2017, expressed frustration at a story co-authored by the network’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta.
After sending Carr a link to the story — which alleged that Mueller and the New York attorney general were working together on a probe into Paul Manafort based on “a source familiar with the investigation” — Perez lamented that “this is the kind of story that happens because of the situation we are in right now.” (RELATED: Manafort Cooperating With Mueller After Plea Deal)
“I had nothing to do with it. Didn’t see it until after it was published. I would not have published that. But I’m also in a poor position to stop things,” Perez said of Acosta’s reporting.
Perez then communicates concern that the story could damage the validity of the special counsel’s investigation because of the attorney general’s politics.
“By the way, this story and the pick up its [sic] getting makes it so the public will think Mueller is in bed with (one of) the most partisan left-leaning AG in the nation. I’m sure he has good people working there but the leadership has a pretty partisan agenda,” Perez says to Carr.
“Maybe that’s what the Special Counsel wants,” he adds.
