He then decided to say, on top of that, that the records from Kavanaugh’s time as staff secretary to GWB were irrelevant — an absolutely absurd claim, given the importance of the role. (He got that role after working in the WH counsel’s office; it’s a key job.)

Here's what happened to the documents (that an outside vendor decided weren't duplicates) turned over by NARA to GWB lawyers to review (and remember this is ONLY from Kavanaugh's time in the counsel's office): https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/the-trump-administration-is-keeping-100000-pages-of-brett … —>pic.twitter.com/nmoszkKo1v

More from me tonight on the big-picture look at the fight over Kavanaugh's documents and how Republicans have been taking whatever steps they can to minimize the number of documents going out and to quickly move out the ones that are going out —>https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1036459754149896192 …

https://twitter.com/ex67t20/status/1030067322071998464?s=21 … Bullshit. Ask Orrin Hatch, Elaine Chao, and Philip Anschutz why they’re being withheld. Hatch is RT’ing Judicial Crisis Network takes on Kavanaugh while receiving $$ from its operator. How did Hatch vote on Benczkowski?
-
Why did Federalist Society advisor/Heritage Foundation Distinguished Fellow Elaine Chao have dinner with Gorsuch and member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary Cornyn?
-
https://twitter.com/ex67t20/status/1035363196331347969?s=21 … Does Chao know anyone other than Ellis & Watts attorneys who were Kavanaugh’s partners?
-
https://twitter.com/i/moments/976515905994752006 … I mean, except for the McConnell operative/donor/RNC delegate/State Farm agent whom she appointed to a DOT position?
-
https://twitter.com/ex67t20/status/1023585659129344003?s=21 … Control of the right wing narrative AND an adjacency to a LOT of people who worked with Kavanaugh during his Bush years—while her husband pushes unholy legislation and nominees at the bequest of his (and her) benefactors? Who wouldn’t, right?
-
Did Kavanaugh vet Gorsuch for the 10th Circuit based on a letter from Gorsuch’s BFF who gave a McConnell PAC $500,000 one day before Garland’s shutdown? Does it matter? Kavanaugh could admit to eating human flesh, and the Right would say, “Teach a man to fish, I guess.”

I don’t like to see Supreme Court seats stolen by unelected grifters who have the support of far fewer Americans than they seem to believe they do. Benczkowski’s the prosecutorial discretion that conservative billionaire donors need to protect Trump’s signing pen.
-
Side note: The media really, really needs to stop considering Elaine Chao as though she was appointed to actually manage the Department of Transportation.
@SenateDems need to grow a collective spine and say, literally, “fuck no!” to every piece of legislation and every nominee. - 1 more reply

No wonder nothing is being done about anything in DC, everyone is reading documents and approving/disapproving confidential stamping.
