During the Kavanaugh confirmaion I dropped over 500,000 docs that showed he should not have been confirmed for SCOTUS, including his participation in knowingly using hacked information from Judiciary Committee Democrats. Seems only fitting to do the same with Amy Coney Barrett.

First, an explainer: None of these documents or sources are hacked. These are all open source documents, articles or Coney Barrett's own writings, available to anyone who knows how to find them. Anyone who tells you different doesn't understand OSINT (open source intelligence).

The drops will be staggered because I am just one person. I have professional and personal obligations, so this gets done when I am able.

Check back often. Bookmark.

Where possible, I will try to include the archived & original links.

This is how this works: I drop the documents and you look through them. Share what you find with others.

I've had my account locked for a while, but am unlocking it so these can be freely seen, analyzed & shared.

Reclaim your power. This is how we change things.

Let's begin.
