Trump: "Rudy, you're my lawyer what should I do?"

Rudy: "Well there's two things you can do. You can fire the guy who's investigatin' you or you can launch a war with Iran."

Trump: "Why can't I do both?"

Rudy: "You'll need the troops at home hehehehehehe"

Is interesting how it changed from resign, to fired to “wait until Thursday”. Feels like they really wanted to paint this in certain way until they couldn’t, rather than feeding misinformation

Fire him during the SCOTUS hearing?

So expect Rosenstein to be fired over Twitter before or after the meeting, as per Trump's MO. Also, that original story seems to me to have come from Trump's camp to give him an excuse to get rid of Rosenstein.

The Kavanaugh case

- Here's lots of females who support him he was total hotness in college
- It didn't happen
- He doesn't remember it happened
- No one remembers anything
- This is just partisan politics
- His friends don't remember it happened
- It may have happened but it was someone else surely
- Her friends don't remember it happened
- Everyone raped in college at some point
- Had it happened she should've called the police
- It was supposed to be kept classified
- He was a virgin

Well, this is certainly...a thing:

Quote from: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/24/business/brett-kavanaugh-yearbook-renate.html

This month, Renate Schroeder Dolphin joined 64 other women who, saying they knew Judge Kavanaugh during their high school years, signed a letter to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is weighing Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. The letter stated that “he has behaved honorably and treated women with respect.”

Quote

The word “Renate” appears at least 14 times in Georgetown Preparatory School’s 1983 yearbook, on individuals’ pages and in a group photo of nine football players, including Judge Kavanaugh, who were described as the “Renate Alumni.” It is a reference to Renate Schroeder, then a student at a nearby Catholic girls’ school.

Quote

“I learned about these yearbook pages only a few days ago,” Ms. Dolphin said in a statement to The New York Times. “I don’t know what ‘Renate Alumnus’ actually means. I can’t begin to comprehend what goes through the minds of 17-year-old boys who write such things, but the insinuation is horrible, hurtful and simply untrue. I pray their daughters are never treated this way. I will have no further comment.”

Quote

His page, in addition to the “Alumnius” entry, mentions his role as “treasurer” of the “Keg City Club.”

Trump never can just say "We've accomplished so much" or "This storm is very bad" everything has to be the biggest, the best, the worst, the strongest, ect. ect. so that every line out of his mouth is so utterly ridiculous that it's impossible to take seriously.

Just them arguing over whether or not Avenatti should shut up about these allegations and whether he is “using” women to get ahead.

May not be able to see this, but it looks like Michael Avenatti has identified the fourth accuser for Kavanaugh.

She claims he gang raped her with other Georgetown prep boys in high school after spiking the punch. She seems credible, works in government job with multiple security clearances. I feel like the odds of Kavanaugh withdrawing are increasing quickly
