THREAD. An overarching thought on Judge Brett Kavanaugh & "perjury."
1. After analyzing the evidence in several lengthy threads, I believe the "perjury" claims against Kavanaugh lack merit. #SCOTUS #KavanaughHearings #KavanaughConfirmationHearings

9. But even if one can identify SOME specific snippet of testimony that might be erroneous, and can further show that the defense of the testimony's correctness doesn't hold water, the alleged error must also clearly be (a) important and (b) deliberate.
