Michael Caputo on CNN just now claiming this is a coup, a conspiracy between NYT and Woodward

He says it's meant to keep Trump supporters home on Election Day, so Democrats retake the House and impeach Trump.

He's crazy...but this "coup" label is spreading fast on the right, judging by Twitter tonight.

on the "tell me something I don't know" segment. He said Dems were just theatrical in opposing Kavanaugh because they secretly want him on the supreme court so they can motive their voters more and take power.

Honestly, where do Rs find these people? They have to be turning over a lot of rocks...

In self professed libertarian conservative PJ O'Rourke's case, National Lampoon, where he was the author of "How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink."

I recall him being a libertarian. I think he was a fairly requent guest on one of the NPR weekend shows, too.

He is a dire threat to National Security and they take their jobs seriously. It’s always been a mater of time before they dealt with him.

Yes, he could be impeached by the House. But it would take a 2/3 vote by the Senate to remove him from office.
