   My father taught me that voting is a sacred responsibility, one that none of us can take for granted. And #WhenWeAllVote, we can make our voices heard.

   Judge Kavanaugh’s refusal to say a POTUS must comply w a duly issued subpoena & Mr Cohen’s implication of POTUS in a federal crime make the danger of Kavanaugh's nomination to the SCOTUS abundantly clear.

   CONFIRMED this good AP scoop. The investigators here are from NY state's Dept. of Taxation and Finance. They're working w/ the NY AG's office on an investigation of @realDonaldTrump's Fdn. There's already a civil lawsuit filed, point here is to see if a criminal case can be made. https://t.co/f9qAJ8gFaZ

    Census Is 0-For-3 In Getting Judges To Toss Lawsuits About Citizenship Question
    By Tierney Sneed August 22, 2018 4:16 pm

    A third federal judge has denied a request by the Justice Department to throw out a legal challenge to the Trump administration’s move to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.

    I have cancelled my meeting with Judge Kavanaugh. @realDonaldTrump, who is an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal matter, does not deserve the courtesy of a meeting with his nominee—purposely selected to protect, as we say in Hawaii, his own okole.

    President Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator to a federal crime to influence an election for the office he now holds.

    He should not be allowed to name a Supreme Court Justice without resolving this accusation first.

    Michael Cohen plead guilty to two counts of campaign finance violations that are not a crime. President Obama had a big campaign finance violation and it was easily settled!

    A large number of counts, ten, could not even be decided in the Paul Manafort case. Witch Hunt!

    I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” – make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!
