Hypothetical question: if you had lethal information about Kavanaugh...

[brooklynite]

...would you drop it Wednesday evening (before the Committee Hearing) or Sunday evening (before the floor vote McConnell will hold no matter what happens)?

1. IMHO, the truth doesn't need stage managing

[SHRED]

5. In this day and age

We need to use every strategy.
Every tool.
This is war.

[jberryhill]

14. "We" are simply along for the ride

So, I guess we can debate what would make a better spectacle, if that's what we're after.

The only "tool" we have is the tv remote.

2. Wednesday mid day

Let the news cycle go nuts.

10. +1

3. yes

All day, every day.

4. I don't know, but I'd keep myself in a very safe place before I divulged it. nt

6. :) Hypothetically, asap. We need as much time as possible

for information to percolate out to the electorate, and for that to possibly jog new revelations. There's a huge reason why McConnell determined to ram confirmation through in a week. (!)

Plus, it'd make it all the more fun to watch those Repub bastards' faces as they knew they were going down with Kavanaugh.

COUNTDOWN TO BECOMING THE NEW MAJORITY PARTY: 41 days.

7. I'd file fucking charges in Maryland- that's what I would do.

This Kavanaugh thing is shifting sand and does not feel like solid ground.

TV Interviews are not going to,change anything no matter the timing.

How do I know this? Because I've lived through every unbelievable political moment since the JFK assination- 2000 presidential election stolen right before our glazed over eyes and every other incredible and incredulous event through Merick Garland, and 2016.

13. Definitely the best option n/t

[we can do it]

17. Same here.

[Ninga]

19. TV interviews won't do it, sorry to say.

[FreepFryer]

8. By lethal I assume you mean "nomination-killing"? Precision matters when discussing such things. Nt

[Lee-Lee]

9. As soon as you have ir

Playing games with timing makes everything else less credible.

[jberryhill]

16. Bingo!

Stop all calls, we have a winner.

[blue cat]

11. I agree with waiting until all ducks in a row

Everything has to be perfect on roll out on Wednesday and hopefully it will suck all the oxygen from all other news stories that day. For the people who don’t pay attention, they’ll hear gang rape which they will tune to watch what’s going on.

12. Our elective representatives on the judiciary committee will do their jobs.

15. One of the sad things is..

What constitutes "lethal information" against Kavanaugh at this point (if two or more credible sexual assault / rape accusations aren't enough to get him out, what at this point is)? Thanks GOP!

[OilemFirchen]

18. Pretty sure I'd wait until I had everything nailed down solidly.

Depositions, interviews, investigations, et al. I might tease it a bit, so that I can gauge the opposition's strategy and, as well, see if any additional trees remain to be shaken. Since it's not a criminal accusation, nor a tort, I might use the media to draw attention from the public. Because of the nature of the opposition, I might wait to ensure that my client(s) are safe and I certainly wouldn't provide information to enable social media to distract prior to any specific allegations.

But I'm not a lawyer...

20. I think this answers my question...
