Well well, look what we have here...
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Thursday sought a federal investigation into whether lawyer Michael Avenatti and his client, Julie Swetnick, made false statements during the sexual misconduct scandal that nearly derailed Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.
Grassley made his request in a 12-page letter to the Department of Justice and the FBI that relays multiple claims made by Avenatti — a prominent attorney and antagonist of President Donald Trump — as well as Swetnick, who signed an affidavit of allegations concerning Kavanaugh's drinking and partygoing as a younger man. She also alleged Kavanaugh was present at parties where girls were sexually assaulted decades ago.
Well...... it's not just that, you see.
Actually, the larger problem, and one that the media is trying to duck, is right here:
NBC News also found other apparent inconsistencies in a second sworn statement from another woman whose statement Avenatti provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee in a bid to bolster Swetnick's claims.
Apparent inconsistencies? Uh.... it's worse than that.
But reached by phone independently from Avenatti on Oct. 3, the woman said she only "skimmed" the declaration. After reviewing the statement, she wrote in a text on Oct. 4 to NBC News: "It is incorrect that I saw Brett spike the punch. I didn't see anyone spike the punch...I was very clear with Michael Avenatti from day one."
When pressed about abusive behavior towards girls, she wrote in a text: "I would not ever allow anyone to be abusive in my presence. Male or female."
October 3rd eh?
Hmmmmm and when was Kavanaugh confirmed?
That would be the 6th, right?
So NBC News had not only exculpatory evidence but evidence of witness tampering and outright false presentation of evidence three full days before the vote and....... spiked it.
The media wonders where the "civility" has gone? Why nobody believes them anymore? Let me guess -- intentionally hiding critical evidence they are in possession of and which is part of their job in reporting isn't a big deal when it doesn't fit the narrative -- destroying Kavanaugh -- they would like to see advanced?
That, my friends, is outright fraud-by-concealment and was not an accident or just an odd confluence of timing.
It was intentional.
Who's stoking the flames of an impending civil war, spreading gasoline around and trying to light it on fire?
The media.
Get up, up and away!

This is completely ridiculous.
A suspected explosive device mailed to CNN’s New York City headquarters and addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan reportedly contained an image parody of the ISIS flag, along with a popular catchphrase made famous by comedian Larry the Cable Guy.
It's now been admitted (roughly 12 hours ago) that the device was not mailed. It has been reported that this one was hand-delivered by a courier, which explains how it managed to get to CNN without the stamps being canceled.
But that fact presents a second problem because couriers don't operate without knowing who they're delivering for and commercial buildings are bristling with security cameras. In addition exactly what jackwad in said building allowed an apparent mail piece to be put into the building's mail stream by a courier with stamps on it?
But, of course, Fox Snooz is still saying mailed.
It wasn't mailed.
Anyone care to bet that's a pattern with that happens to hold with the rest of them?
Then there are the facts on these alleged "devices." Notice the word suspected. That word has shown up since yesterday afternoon and it ought to be dropped and replaced with the word hoax.
Not to say that there still isn't a crime here (and a serious one), because there is. I used to have one of those gag grenades on my desk with the label "Complaint Department -- please take a number" on the plaque it was attached to, and a big number "1" on the pin.
Were I to detach said "grenade" from the base, yank the pin out and throw it to you (without you knowing it was a gag device of course) that would be assault since it sure as hell looked like a real grenade and it also appears that I just yanked the pin on it and threw it at you. If I dove around the corner immediately after doing so for effect that would add emphasis to it and make it even more-believable.
But I still didn't throw a bomb (grenade) at you -- a bomb has to be both capable of exploding and intended to explode. There is no evidence in the public eye at this point that these "devices" were either capable of or intended to actually explode.
I could go down a list of reasons that I highly doubt there's anything that's actually dangerous about them at all but I don't want to give anyone who might be thinking about making better hoaxes ideas -- so I won't.
Second, may I note that nobody in their right mind among law enforcement (whether ordinary LEOs or the bomb squad) are going to pull live explosive devices, or anything they believe is or might be one, out of its package, lay it on a table in an office building, stand next to it and take pretty pictures of it for the news! If it's an actual bomb and has a timer on it that would be about the dumbest thing in the world one could do -- unless you're trying to kill yourself. Bomb squad/EOD people aren't stupid; you don't live long in that line of work by doing idiotic things.
As I said yesterday my money is on that thing being full of kitty litter (maybe used kitty litter for added effect.)
So what we have here is a nasty hoax. It's a hoax on several levels and the media, at this point, are actively and intentionally participating in it by continuing to insinuate that these are real explosive devices. I'm willing to bet these are not actual bombs at all given the blatantly cavalier manner in which they're handling them for everyone to see for openers. Now sending them (by any means, whether stuffed in a mailbox by hand or paying someone to courier them into a building) remains a serious crime -- but what hasn't been established and I'm not buying given the evidence presented is that these were actually capable of harming people.
Never mind this headline: "FBI IDs 7 'suspicious packages' sent to Dem figures containing 'potentially destructive devices'" -- yes, they were potentially destructive devices, if they had contained actual explosives and were both designed to and capable of actually exploding.
But, from all appearances, they weren't -- thus the qualifying word that the media is breathlessly downplaying.
As for the courier-delivered one at CNN in New York whoever delivered it ought to be trivially able to be found, along with whoever consigned him or her. I used to use inner city courier services ("messenger bag dudes") all the time to run documents and such between firms in Chicago's Loop when I had an office at 2 Prudential and they simply don't take a package from some random Joe on the street. It's not just a safety thing; if the person to whom you want it taken isn't there or you screw up with the addressing in some way (wrong suite number, etc) the dude has to be able to bring it back to you, and as such he won't take it without knowing exactly who it came from. Oh, and he wants paid too.
I'd say use your head here and apply a bit of critical thinking but given the level of intellect displayed by the average person in America today it certainly seems I'd be asking too much.
Note the arrows (which I added.)
This package never went through the postal service; none of the stamps are canceled.
So what's going on here? This was obviously not mailed and yet it allegedly got into the "mail stream" -- you can't just walk into a commercial office building and magically make that package appear in the mailman's delivery area. Never mind that for "common" businesses (like the one I used to run) the mail carrier is the one who brings that stuff up to your suite -- not some building employee -- because it is not at all uncommon for one or more mail pieces to require a signature or have some other form of supervised delivery.
Did CNN along with these other alleged "destinations" intentionally perpetrate a coordinated hoax to try to claim that "someone" is "bombing" them? Let me guess -- those alleged "bombs" are full of kitty litter!
I don't know if that's true or not -- but what I do know is that this package never went through the mail system and did not come into the building and enter the building mail stream via the USPS letter carrier.
There is no plausible explanation for how it came to be in CNN's "incoming mail" given that the stamps on the alleged "piece of mail" are not canceled.
