Trump: I'll Be 'Totally Reliant' On What GOP Senators Want To Do About FBI Probe Back to article

Now:

"I will be totally reliant on what Sen. Grassley and the group decides to do.”

Next week:

I’m not sure I’ve ever met Judge Kavanaugh. I think he was presented to me by Grassley, I think. No idea who he was."

What I hear there is,

“I am totally happy to throw Yurtle under the bus on this issue.”

(Grassley is a gratuitous, bonus, underbussing)

I’m not sure the FBI really wants to do him any favors.

“I’m going to rely on all of the people, including Sen. Grassley, who is doing a very good job,” he said. “That will be a decision that they’re going to make and I suspect they’ll be making some decision soon whether to take a vote or to do whatever else they want to do. I will be totally reliant on what Sen. Grassley and the group decides to do.”

Yeah, but after sliding prop #1 out and back in a little, he’s pushing prop #2 towards the edge.

At this point, it’s a) Spankee withdraws b) Kavanaughty says he won’t accept the prying into his life this represents and withdraws himself or c) he gets confirmed.

I’m pulling for b)

He’s going to be talked off that ledge

Or d) he gets committed (based on yesterday’s performance and his reaction to any upcoming disruption to his grand plan).

Oh, sorry. It was an involuntary response. I trust you understand.

Trump has little historical view of the Supreme Court or any other. It’s about his self preservation and catering to his narrow base. He probably thinks Learned Hand was a groping porn star from the 80’s.

I will be totally reliant on the Fox guarding the henhouse and Orrin Hatch…and Lindsey Graham …decide to do…just like the Drunk Virgin Fratboy kept saying yesterday.

@mrf - It is my understanding that Learned Hand and @curmudgeon served on the SCOTUS together.
