    David Lat Retweeted Macho Camacho

    An important point re: claims that Judge Kavanaugh "perjured" himself re: #Memogate. He didn't receive actual memos, and he had no way of knowing he had verbatim content of memos. (Yes, it sounds like a "technicality" - but technicalities matter for perjury.)https://twitter.com/MachoCamacho456/status/1038132707308462080 …

    Replying to @TheMezcalJones @DavidLat
    Kavanaugh never received the memos. He received language from the memos, that was later revealed to be lifted verbatim but Kavanaugh never received the actual documents. Given the context, that's not even hiding the ball since the focus was whether he knew he received stolen info

        Just to be clear, "he didn't *technically* commit perjury, just fudge and weasel a lot" is supposed to be an argument in Mr. Kavanaugh's favor?

        Replying to @BDGesq

        Fair point - this was phrased too defensively (as @EdWhelanEPPC pointed out in a subsequent tweet). My main points: (1) he had no way of knowing he had verbatim content of memos and (2) burden is on his critics to show he knew there was hacking (he didn't).

        I’m willing to forgive Kavanaugh if he did the right thing and show us shirtless torso a la Obama, Paul Ryan, and Ben Sasse. We’re only missing SCOTUS!!! #fullTransparency

        But that doesn’t undermine my point because Jeff Flake and his hot body are also in the senate

        But not for ethical requirements under professional standards. EC 1-1 “of integrity... ethical responsibility” EC 1-2 “public should be protected... deficiency in... moral standards” EC 1-3 “is of good moral character” EC 1-4 “question as to... honesty”

        Once again we are now defending a potential Supreme Court Justice with the argument that you can’t prove him guilty by proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Don’t know about you but my standards are higher than that. #SCOTUS

        No. The "defense" is that he was entirely truthful, and the Dems on the committee are lying. But they're not under oath, so they will be fine.

        No. The burden is not to show he knew there was hacking, but to show that he got materials prepared by the Democrats. He plainly did get such materials, and lied about it.

        In 2004 Hatch asked if he received material “DERIVED from Democratic files?” to which Schumer followed up with “provided to you IN ANY WAY?” [my emphasis] and Kavanaugh's reply to both was an unequivocal “No”. This seems to make the form, and whether stolen or not, irrelevant.

        Didn’t he though? I thought the one responded to “who signed this” has a word document attached
