Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) on Tuesday said that he thinks a smelly special interest network of dark money was involved in Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaughs nomination process.
There is a very smelly special interest network that is operating through this nomination process and I think weve gotta put a spotlight on that as well, Whitehouse told CNN Tuesday.
Kavanaugh has been under the Democrats scrutiny since President Trump nominated him to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy in July.
Whitehouse told CNN, I think that to the extent that the focus in these proceedings is entirely on Kavanaugh and misses the larger environment that his nomination comes out of.
Whitehouse listed off a variety of things he finds suspicious, The scrutiny that the special interest behind the Federalist Society have given this so called list that the president originated and has followed, the dark money operation that is operating right now to try to pave the political path for him to confirmation, all the funny right-wing groups that turn up before the supreme court as so-called friends of the court, filing amicus briefs, funded by these same special interests.
Whitehouse did not explain how he arrived at the accusations he did and he said he was unsure whether or not Kavanaugh could reasonably be held responsible for the process surrounding him.
Its not clear because he hasnt come clean with what his role in all this has been, Whitehouse told CNN. How much has he been backchanneling with leonard leo to get himself onto the list and to top of it, what does he know about the dark money funding that is supporting his confirmation. These are all questions that I think need answers.
Whitehouse raised questions about the Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation, and Judicial Crisis Networks funding last week, saying that they use mounds of anonymous donations to advertise for Kavanaugh.
CNN reports that the leaders in the Federalist Society have advised President Trump and President George W. Bush on their judicial nominees.
The opposition to Kavanaugh is running its own anonymously funded, $5 million ad campaign attacking the nominee through Demand Justice, a group run by former aides to Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, the Washington Post reports.
His friends don’t call him Smelly Shelly for nothing.
Any sitting judge hearing federal cases should be an excellent supreme court pick. Think about the liberals arguments. If true, most judges the legislature confirms are horrid old bastards who have no business hearing any cases before any court. IOW the legislature has not been doing it’s job.
“Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) on Tuesday said that he thinks a smelly special interest network “
Speaking of “smelly” ...is that a fact smeggy?
With all the stench emanating from the dems I’m surprised he can smell anything at all.
Note to Whitehouse: Dude, given your disclosure data, I don’t think ya wanna go there...

Patently rediculous ranting from an obviously low IQ Democratic Asshole. Where do these morons come from...under rocks?
Free speech from conservatives is not allowed by leftists.
This the the new game of the Left. They throw accusations out with zero facts to support what they are saying. It is trial by innuendo and the Dems are professionals at it. They throw something out, like this smelly senator did, and the left wing media runs with it, again with zero facts, but innuendo presented as fact. That’s their game.
The scrutiny that the special interest behind the ACLU and SPLC and others have given this so called list that the president originated and has followed, the dark money operation that is operating right now to try to prevent his confirmation, all the funny left-wing groups that turn up before the supreme court as so-called friends of the court, filing amicus briefs, funded by these same special interests.
See how easy that is?
What are you, 12?
You take that BACK!!!
Enough of all the bullsheit. Nobodys found anything the nominee ever did wrong, and theyve scrutinized and spied on him for months already. . Confirm him already and lets move on!
Unlike the fragrant Dems...
Just ask John Podesta about it. During the campaign he noted how hilLIARy smelled like “boiled cabbage, urine, and farts” and asked that someone speak to her about her hygiene.
I repeat myself: the Kavanaugh confirmation should have been done BEFORE August recess. Why the heck have they given the maniacs all of this time to find or to invent reasons to not vote for him?
Maybe he smelled us at Walmart....
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is obsessed with this idea of ‘dark money’ influence. He includes it in a lot of speeches in the Senate. He is so far off on this one that it is a shame.
After meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in September 2008, Whitehouse came under scrutiny due to possible insider trading, when he sold a number of positions, valued at least at $250,000, over the next six days.[39][40] Whitehouse was trading anywhere from 520% of his net worth.[41] In Senate candidate Barry Hinckley's book, he said that it was "implausible that much of someone's net worth would be traded without someone's knowledge".[41] A spokesperson for Whitehouse's office explained that the senator "is not actively involved in the management" of the accounts implicated, and that he "neither directed his financial advisor to undertake any transaction during that time, nor ever took advantage of any exclusive or secret information".[42]
smelly special interest network (indeed)
Funny stuff!
The key word is bolded above. The special interest group is modern day slavers and the victims are the dark people. Proof that
TRUMP WILL PUT Y'ALL BACK IN CHAINS!
What stinks are your agendas Senator Whitewash.
