I'm deeply touched by McConnell's insistence on transparency, and agree the only way to manifest that value here is to have senators sequentially by birthday go up in a hot air balloon to briefly see the FBI report sky-written by a drone behind cloud cover

Tweet includes link to nbc article detailing who gets to read the FBI report and where, which I'll post in the first reply.

2. So if no-one can talk about what's in it, all the Republicans have to do is say "Kavanaugh is OK"

and they're telling the Democratic senators they can't say anything about why that's not true. The electors of the Republican senators won't have any chance to see if their representatives are either lying, or taking a completely unreasonable view of the evidence.

It may as well not have happened. It's only up to the Republican senators' personal conscience. Which, evidence shows, doesn't exist.

4. Then FOIA them. The public definitely has a right to see this information. We elected them. nt

9. Do you think it will leak?

[SWBTATTReg]

10. I got a feeling that it will. And it should. No reason why it should be supressed and ...

if it supposedly vindicates Kav, why not release? My fear is that what's leaked may not be the actual thing/report but a fake. Wouldn't surprise me w/ rump and cronies.

5. This is my favorite part of the report.

The information in the background investigation file is not marked top secret or classified, but it is not to be leaked or even characterized. Senators are "not allowed to share any details whatsoever," a committee aide said.

Gotta love the transparency.

6. Ridiculous.

So, what are they gonna do to Senators who talk about it anyway? This is so silly. And it pisses me off.

8. Mcturdle will write a stern letter chastising them.
