As the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings continue on until it ends with democracy being dead, and women and minorities become 2nd class citizens. But Senator Kamala Harris and Brett Kavanaugh had interesting exchange that filled the air with tension, and Kavanaugh saying to himself “Shit! I’ve been caught.” Senator Harris asked Kavanaugh if he had discussed Robert Mueller,. or his Russian investigation to anyone at he Kasowitz Benson Torres law firm. The firm was founded by Trump’s personal attorney Marc Kasowitz.
Kavanaugh seemed to be cut off guard to the question, or rather didn’t want to say yes, so he was looking for a full of shit answer. “I would like to know the person you’re thinking of,” Kavanaugh told Harris. “I think you’re thinking of someone and you don’t want to tell us.”
Any honest with person with an ounce of interpersonal communication skills, it would look like Kavanaugh has talked to someone about the investigation, and it’s why Donald Trump nominated him.
But, if you’re a piece of shit like Senator Mike Lee. Senator Lee interrupted Harris’ reasonable question and Kavanaugh’s bad attempt to avoid lying blatantly, by interjecting with a real dumb thought. “This town is full of law firms, law firms are full of people, law firms have a lot of names, there are a lot of people who work at a lot of law firms,” said Senator Lee. If Kavanaugh can’t remember the names of attorneys that he has talked to or where they worked, I don’t think Kavanaugh is worthy to be a Supreme Court Judge.
Although there is more than enough information on Brett Kavanaugh to show he’s a piece of shit, there is more. It appears that Brett Kavanaugh was all about the right-wing conspiracy theory that the Clinton’s killed Vince Foster. History professor Sean Wiltz wrote an op-ed in the New York Times that he found records showing that Kavanaugh, who was an associate independent counsel to Kenneth Starr, to have Starr reopen the investigation into White
House Counsel Vince Foster’s death.
Multiple investigations into the death of Vince Foster found that his death was suicide, as noted by the Times:
Judge Starr’s predecessor as independent counsel, Robert Fiske, had looked into unfounded claims that White House Counsel Vincent Foster, who committed suicide in Fort Marcy Park in 1993, had in fact been murdered as part of an alleged White House cover-up related to Whitewater. After a thorough investigation, Mr. Fiske concluded in 1994 that there was nothing to the conspiracy theories and that Mr. Foster, who suffered from depression, had indeed killed himself. Official accounts by the United States Park Service in 1993 and by Republican Congressman William Clinger, the ranking member of the House Government Affairs Committee in 1994, came to an identical conclusion, as did a bipartisan report of the Senate Banking Committee early in 1995.
That did not persuade Kavanaugh, and cited whack jobs, some still doing their awful fucking thing:
One was Reed Irvine, a self-appointed debunker of the “fake news” of mainstream media. Another was Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, an English author of a book entitled “The Secret Life of Bill Clinton” that posited that the Oklahoma City bombing was an F.B.I. plot gone awry. A third was Christopher Ruddy, today the chief executive of Newsmax and confidante of President Trump, but at the time on the payroll of the right-wing tycoon Richard Mellon Scaife to promote conspiracies.
As inventive as they were vindictive, these partisans concocted all sorts of wild theories to explain why Mr. Foster could not have killed himself. According to one of Mr. Kavanaugh’s sources, Mr. Foster had been working for the National Security Agency and was being blackmailed by the Israelis over a secret Swiss bank account. Carpet fibers had been found on Mr. Foster’s clothing, which was proof positive that he was murdered, his body wrapped in a carpet and then dumped. Another charged that “long blond hairs” on Mr. Foster’s clothing pointed to a cover-up.
Kavanaugh pushed for the reopening of the investigation, even though he apparently didn’t believe it. Yet, Kavanaugh continued to look into whether or not Vince Foster was murdered by the Clinton’s. “He meticulously examined the White House carpet, old and new,” and “sent investigators in search of follicle specimens from Mr. Foster’s bereft, blond, teenage daughter.”
It was more than just Foster’s death that Kavanaugh was obsessed about, and was also fantasized that Vince Foster and Hillary Clinton had an affair:
Mr. Kavanaugh apparently took a special interest in Hillary Clinton’s bruited affair with Mr. Foster, a popular rumor in the fever swamps of the right. As he reported, his investigators “asked numerous people about it,” before he decided to ask Mrs. Clinton herself.
Of course, Mr. Kavanaugh proved nothing new, as there was nothing new to prove except in conspiratorial illusion. But there was nothing funny about his Inspector Clouseau performance. For months, his inquiries callously harassed a grieving family and Mr. Foster’s friends. His office spread malicious sexual innuendo about Hillary Clinton, whom he seems to have regarded as prey. By reopening a closed investigation, he irresponsibly gave the Foster conspiracy freaks credibility to continue smearing the Clintons and poison public debate for another three years, all at the taxpayers’ expense.
It’s really conforming to know that our next Supreme Court Judge is Alex Jones in a robe. Fucking a great! But there’s more. Those like Susan Collins who try to say he’s normal by saying that Kavanaugh has said that Roe v. Wade is “settled.” Well, that’s bullshit.
While working as an attorney in the Bush administration, Kavanaugh was exchanging emails about editing an opinion piece that was to be in support of a conservative court nominee. In a rough draft of the op-ed, there was a line that said that “legal scholars across the board” said that Roe v. Wade is settled law.
Kavanaugh was not down with that line:
I am not sure that all legal scholars refer to Roe as the settled law of the land at the Supreme Court level since Court can always overrule its precedent, and three current Justices on the Court would do so.
Although Kavanaugh does not say that Roe v. Wade should be overturned in the emails. The idea that he does not think it should be considered settled is pretty telling in of itself.
God it’s fucking annoying living in these times…
