Devin Nunes: Americans are witnessing the 'collapse' of the Senate with Kavanaugh fight
Americans are witnessing the "collapse" of the Senate as lawmakers clash over sexual assault allegations levied against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, according to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
"What you are seeing is the collapse of institutions in this country. It's really, really concerning," Nunes said Saturday evening on Fox News. "When you take a Supreme Court justice and you have senators talking about high school yearbooks, you are watching the collapse of the Senate. Collapse of the republic. It's really, really dangerous."
Nunes was commenting on a clip of President Trump mocking Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for saying this week that her staff wasn't responsible for leaking a letter that accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
Senate Republicans have accused Democrats or members of their staff for leaking Christine Blasey Ford’s letter over her request for confidentiality. Feinstein is their main target.
Nunes, who is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Feinstein erred on two fronts.
"She had a responsibility to share that with Republicans. And second, she should have made sure that the FBI knew about that as they were doing an additional background check," he said.
Nunes also praised Kavanaugh for his performance at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday in which he offered an impassioned denial of the sexual misconduct accusations. Nunes particularly liked when in Kavanaugh's opening remarks he said he's a target of a "revenge" plot "on behalf of the Clintons" and funded by "millions of dollars in money from outside, left-wing opposition groups."
Nunes called this an "amazing" moment.
As for a full Senate vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation, delayed at least a week for a supplemental FBI investigation, Nunes warned that any red state senators who vote against the judge are "going to be in big trouble" with their electorates.

Hmmmm, is that before or after the American people (and the world) find out about their own "dealings"?
Pray for his safety anons, and the safety of his family
THIS appears to calling for a MEME!
Inside our secret courts
Criminal charges often disappear without a trace. There are few rules and fewer records. In these private hearings, who you are — and who you know — may be just as important as right and wrong.
Every year, tens of thousands of cases wind up in secret court sessions — formally known as “show cause hearings” — that are presided over by court clerks and usually held for suspects who haven’t been arrested and don’t pose a flight risk or danger to others. People are generally entitled to these hearings for misdemeanors, but police can request them for felonies as well.
The quality of justice behind the clerks’ closed doors can depend on where the hearing is held, who you know, or the color of your skin, according to a Spotlight Team investigation. It’s a land of arbitrary second chances, where the powerful, the privileged, and the lucky can see serious charges like reckless endangerment of a child and motor vehicle homicide quietly swept away in private hearings.
Show cause hearings were originally created to weed out baseless allegations, but, in practice, there are so few checks on the clerks’ power that they regularly go far beyond that, brokering deals and, in nearly half of the cases, rejecting requests for charges.
Clerk magistrates, who are appointed by the governor, routinely refuse to issue charges even when there is significant evidence.

Flake event moved due to security concerns
Emerson College is seeking to move an event featuring Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) out of the college's Colonial Theater due to safety concerns.
"We are seeking to exercise our right as the owners of the Colonial to have the panel canceled for safety reasons," the college president, Lee Pelton, said in a statement earlier today, before announcing the event was moved to an undisclosed location.
"The College just found out about Senator Jeff Flake’s appearance in Boston on Monday," Pelton added. "ATG, the Colonial tenant, rented the space to Forbes, who is hosting the Forbes 30 under 30 Summit. Forbes invited Senator Jeff Flake and Governor John Kasich to a panel discussion."
The Hill could not reach the Emerson press offices for immediate comment on the nature of the safety concerns.
Local ABC associate WCVB reports that the Boston Socialist Alternative had been encouraging protestors to come and express their disapproval of Flake's support for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
