Questionable, unethical behavior also happened; consequences matter!
Allegations against Brett Kavanaugh have already been investigated by the Senate Judiciary Committee and an additional FBI investigation will also take place. But a lot morewas going on last week beind the scenes, causing many to conclude injustices against both Ford and Kavinaugh occurred. What will be done about that?
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) announced today that two additional investigations will be conducted following the shameful debacle in the Senate last week:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office will be investigated to determine whether it leaked a confidential letter from one of Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers, Sen. Tom Cotton said Sunday.
Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, also said lawyers recommended to Christine Blasey Ford by Democrats will face a Washington, D.C., bar investigation for telling her that Senate Judiciary Committee staffers would not travel to California to interview her about her sexual-assault allegation.
“They have betrayed her,” Cotton said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “She has been victimized by Democrats … on a search-and-destroy mission for Brett Kavanaugh.”
Good!
It’s about time Democrats were held accountable for underhanded and devious tactics executed for personal or party gain without concern for the lives they destroy in the process. They’ve been doing this for decades! Lawyers must be held accountable! Democrat leaders and their staffs must be held to much higher ethical standards of behavior and be held accountable. Enough is enough!

Tina:
I admire your optimism. I think in my case my optimism was the first thing to go, just ahead when my mind began to need a walker, and a couple of months after the Whitewater investigation ended.
Like Hillary under oath, I can’t recall much, like how many crimes the Clintons have gotten away with, or what excuse we were given when Teddy was given a free pass at Chappaquiddick.
I don’t even bother wishing someone would investigate Obama for (what was it now?) his gifts to Iran, among numerous other anti-constitutional activities.
So forgive me if I don’t spend much time checking on the progress of any investigations of the investigations of Judge Kavanaugh.
But hang in there, It’s good to be optimistic when you’re young.
Cherokee, you are a peach for thinking that I’m a young woman.
I was an adult when Reagan was governor. Still around when he became president…through GHWB and then, (No new taxes – with kids out of high school) when Bill and Hill brought their criminal enterprise to DC. Started listening to Rush in 1988. Prior to that I lived in Montana for six years so missed his Rush to Excellence tours. My political feet have been wet for some time…been doing the back stroke for thirty years!
I can’t help being optimistic after watching all of the changes that have happened during my adult life. As a young supporter of Reagan I wasn’t all that political but he made sense when he spoke and I liked his ability to stand up to Sam Donaldson. He helped to expand my conservative politics. Back then all we had for support was William F. Buckley and his magazine, National Review. Whew, when I first started reading it a lot went over my head but persistence paid off.
Rush is terrific and he’s inspired others, like Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, to do radio and TV. The advent of the internet saw an explosion of blogs and websites, including ours. The four alphabet channels can’t control the narrative anymore…we are experiencing free speech like we haven’t seen in decades. The people are more informed and politically educated than ever before. People in different fields, the law, education, science, and even entertainment are working to make a difference in their respective fields. Trump came along and blew the dust off DC, tore away the curtain of pretense, and is showing politicians how to get things done.
We may be on our way out but we sure live in interesting times.
Political power swings back and forth but I see the conservative movement as being on the rise. The socialists that have overtaken the Democrat Party have become too extreme. Their ideas through the years have proven to not work and cost too much. The unintended consequences, in terms of the human condition, has taken too great a toll…they are on the wane.
In the everyday workings of politics it can look pretty bleak, especially when we watch the despicable way some of our leaders behave. But U like the general trajectory and I firmly believe that we can;t get what we want if we don’t constantly keep that alive in our intention.
Yes, good. It’s about time republicans grew a pair and are finally fighting back. We wouldn’t be in this situation with Kavanaugh if they had done so much earlier, like with Hillary and her foundations and Uranium One deals. The clock is ticking, if they’re ever going to investigate her they’d better get going.
Peggy it’s my understanding that the FBI in Arkansas has been investigating corruption and malfeasance in the foundation. The thing is, everything she’s done is connected and interwoven. I can’t begin to imagine the paper trail:
blockquote>The Wall Street Journal reported late last year that several FBI field offices, including the one in Little Rock, had been collecting information on the Clinton Foundation for more than a year. The report also said there had been pushback to the FBI from the Justice Department.
A renewed law enforcement focus follows a promise to Congress late last year from top Trump Justice Department officials that law enforcement would revisit some of the investigations and legal issues closed during the Obama years that conservatives felt were given short shrift. It also follows months of relentless criticism on Twitter from President Trump, who has repeatedly questioned why no criminal charges were ever filed against the “crooked” Clintons and their fundraising machine.
For years, news media from The New York Times to The Daily Caller have reported countless stories on donations to the Clinton Foundation or speech fees that closely fell around the time of favorable decisions by Clinton’s State Department. Conservative author Peter Schweizer chronicled the most famous of episodes in his book “Clinton Cash” that gave ammunition to conservatives, including Trump, to beat the drum for a renewed investigation.
Several GOP members of Congress have recently urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions to appoint a special counsel to look at the myriad issues surrounding the Clintons. Justice officials sent a letter to Congress in November suggesting some of those issues were being re-examined, but Sessions later testified the appointment of a special prosecutor required a high legal bar that had not yet been met.
Officials also said the Justice Department was re-examining whether there are any unresolved issues from the closed case into Clinton’s transmission of classified information through her personal email server. Former FBI Director James Comey in 2016 concluded Clinton was “extremely careless” in handling that classified information and that there was some evidence of legal violations, but he declined to recommend charges on the grounds that he could not prove Clinton and her top aides intended to break the law.
His decision was roundly criticized by Republicans, and recent revelations that his statement was watered down by edits and that he made the decision before all witness interviews were finished have led to renewed criticism.
A senior law enforcement official said the Justice Department was exploring whether any issues from that probe should be re-opened but cautioned the effort was not at the stage of a full investigation.
One challenge for any Clinton-era investigation is that the statute of limitations on most federal felonies is five years, and Clinton left office in early 2013.
It may be too late for some of t…if anything is going to happen we will hear about it soon.
If we don’t hear soon at least we’ll know that our Constitutional Republic is gone. Mark Levin has said for years we’re in post-constitutional times. But, we kept hoping there was a little life left in the old girl that was enough to bring her back to life.
Equal justice must be applied to members of both parties. Otherwise, we’re going to tear each other apart trying to obtain it and prevent the other from having it.
Equal justice where it’s due for sure.
In my experience Republicans have been held accountable much more often, at least for things that are known. It’s been the norm since Nixon. Democrats, on have escaped the hand of justice much more often. Kennedy and the Clintons are the most prominent examples but the are many others that managed to serve even after their corruption/criminality was uncovered.
To my mind THAT is the injustice that has made us a divided nation. The illusion that Democrats are gods and we are satan has been firmly established.
Democrats believe their doo doo has no odor and Republicans are always guilty, always evil…look at the horrendous names they attach to all of us with broad strokes! Trump IS Hitler and we ARE his SS. Look at the ways they get away with describing the effects of our policies….starve children…kill old people…put blacks “in chains”…separate families.
Trump has been in office for nearly two years. Where is the evidence that any of these accusations is in any way accurate?
Democrats are anything but “woke.” They are manipulated, lied to, kept in the dark, and TAUGHT TO HATE.
As Lincoln realized a country so divided will not stand. It’s very important that we win in this communications game.
Trump is delivering on jobs, he’s winning in the minority communities, but those determined to regain power to open our borders, keep America down, invite criminality and destroy our overall economy will continue the propaganda and hate.
We must not give appeals that suggest overall moral equivalence of the two parties any weight. If justice is to be served it must be about individuals that have broken the law or become unfit to serve. It must NOT be indictment of groups.
Afraid the norm of Republicans being responsible began prior to the Civil War. How many students and college grads believe the Dems freed the slaves, wanted civil rights, were under those tens of thousands white sheets burning crosses and supported the Jim Crow laws. Dems did it all, but to hear them, the media and educators republicans did everything listed above and it was the Dems who took the role of the republicans.
The big fat lies they’ve been telling since the Civil War has snowballed with one lie leading to the next, with the need for another lie to cover up the first and repeated for generations to hide the truth and expose our real history.
People wouldn’t put up with the Antifa, BLM violence if they knew it was founded in the KKK. No history book ever written said the KKK was the military arm of the Democrat party.
The Dems can’t afford to loose. They can’t take the chance of their lies being exposed. The only way to prevent the truth from coming out is to maintain control and the power. If they have to destroy a man and his family doing so would be a justified means to the desired end.
And they’re sooooo close, just one more supreme court justice away, then rest of us deplorables will be ruled by the power of the court. No more laws by legislators. Judges will write the laws and their puppet in the Oval Office will have his pen and phone. Our Republic will be gone.
Side note.
Did you by chance see Lindsey Graham on the Hannity show tonight? He had an ingenious idea. If Kavanaugh doesn’t get the votes needed before the election, he said Trump should nominate him again. He predicted a red wave that would fill the senate with enough republicans to gain the votes needed to put in on the court. Novel idea and one that could work.
Swinestein was blown away when someone on the Judiciary Committee asked her if she’d leaked Ford’s letter. Her first comment was that she hadn’t asked staff. (Gee, I wonder why)
Then, when she was asked again, she said “I just did” referring to a question to one of her aides sitting behind her. Kavanaugh had a better performance than Swinestein did.
Taxifornia doesn’t have much of a choice for Senators this time around. Swinestine or DeLeon, who is even further Left than she is!
Feinstein expects to be believed…without an FBI investigation…hmmm, connect the dots , hypocrite!
And today from the New York Post . . . . .

Why am I NOT surprised??????????????????????????????
“I was sexually assaulted, and nobody believed me. I didn’t tell anyone, and you’re telling all women that they don’t matter . . . That’s what you’re telling all of these women. That’s what you’re telling me right now. Look at me when I’m talking to you! You are telling me that my assault doesn’t matter . . . Don’t look away from me. Look at me.”
Total, emotional crap. His vote has nothing to do with her assault or any other protesting woman’s assault. It has nothing to do with the inherent value of any woman.
This incident was bullying, pure and simple.
The lesson to be learned from all of this is that women and girls should be “courageous” in the moment and report to the authorities IMMEDIATELY! The best time to investigate is within the first hours when memories are sharp and witnesses can be found and interviewed. It is the best tie to collect evidence…bruising, scratches…
I’m so done with stupid emotional women who in the next instant claim to be capable of performing on par with men. They don’t get act like manipulative little girls one minute and capable glass ceiling crashers the next.
Very interesting read.

Cherokee, after watching the Kav hearings a man I greatly respect, Victor Davis Hansen, has written an article that supports your point of view, “Epitaph for a Dying Culture.”
He goes on to list the anti-Western standards and later writes:
VDH is a great historian. I trust his assessment. But I still hold out hope that there are enough of us to turn away from the cultural depravity and narrative manipulation that is so destructive. It’s a great article and well worth the read.
Tina: I still consider you as young. I remember sitting in front of the RCA Victor, listening to FDR’s “Infamy” speech.
In my shorthand, the bad guys have taken over our educational system, just how they said they would, and have trashed our culture. That’s pretty hard to overcome.
The Libby’s have slouched their way in. Think incurable disease.
Have a nice day, young lady.
Victor D.Hansen is a great writer and patriot – wish we had more like him. Great find, thanks for sharing.
Looks lie we now need to investigate Ford and the other accusers. Their accusations appear to be lies and false statements.
Top Senate Republican questions Christine Blasey Ford’s truthfulness after sworn statement from ex-boyfriend contradicts some of her testimony:

This is not only illegal but cowardly, but considering who’s office staff (congress woman Shelia Jackson Lee) and some of the allocation’s voiced against her over the years, I am not surprised.

“They” have been investigated. You simply will not accept the results.
Now, this, I mean … if this don’t burn your butt … your hypocrisy works on the cellular level.

current info on the Doxxing of Senators personal info:
AUSTIN, Texas — A Houston Democratic congresswoman has fired an unpaid intern after he was arrested by the U.S. Capitol police for allegedly posting online the home addresses of Republican senators backing Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
The Dallas Morning News reports that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee fired 27-year-old Jackson Cosko after he was charged with making public restricted personal information, identity theft and other federal offenses.
Cosko had worked in Jackson Lee’s office for about a month.
I may have transposed Jackson Lees name wrong in first post, sorry
Karma!

As many (some?) may know in these pages, I have never been a Trump fan. I could not bring myself to vote for him and I find much of his behavior non-presidential when it is not simply disgusting, juvenile and idiotic. Nevertheless, so far I am impressed which many things he has done as in reducing repressive regulations, lowering taxes, redrafting trade, increasing economic optimism across the board, telling NATO countries to clean up their parasitic act, actually making progress with North Korea, choosing Nikki Haley as ambassador to the United Nations, SCOTUS picks, driving Rats, leftists and MSM toads completely bonkers (which may be my fave) and much much more with which I am quite pleased.
Nevertheless, while I still find much of Trump’s behavior disgusting and idiotic, “I can tell you this” (to borrow a phrase I keep hearing these days) —
After the after the despicable, disgraceful, outrageous and possibly criminal treatment of Brett Kavanaugh by the Rat party in the advice and consent process (which the Rats have essentially destroyed for a third time in 40 years) I will crawl through broken glass to vote for Trump in 2020 even though my vote in this god-awful and insane Rat machine controlled state means absolutely nothing.
