In an effort to rush through Kavanaugh’s nomination, the GOP set his confirmation hearings to begin on Sept 4—nearly 2 months before the National Archives said Kavanaugh’s documents could be released. This means no one will be able to look at his full record before the hearings.

NEWS: Cohen just described, in court, how he violated campaign finance laws by arranging payment for Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. He said he violated federal law "in coordination with and at the direction of a federal candidate for office" Meaning Trump.

If someone wrote the last hour as a chapter in a piece of Trump fan fiction, it would seem too over the top.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Within just minutes of each other, a federal jury found former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort guilty on 8 counts and Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to 8 counts.

Someone pulled down a confederate monument that was dedicated in a speech where the speaker reminisced about beating a "negro wench until her skirts hung in shreds," because she hurt a white woman's feelings. https://t.co/kil6qM0Led

[Jeffrey Toobin @JeffreyToobin]

Cohen committed crimes "In co-ordination with, and at the direction of" @realDonaldTrump . Thus, President appears to be co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor of a federal crime.
