      Leahy: Did he ever hand you material separately from what was sent via email? Kavanaugh: Could you give me something specific? L: Documents marked confidential? K: "It wouldn't have raised anything in particular in my mind."

      Oh, here we are. All of this is about "committee confidential" documents.

      Leahy: "I want Judge Kavanaugh to see the emails, which came from Mr. Miranda." Grassley is unhappy. Leahy also is unhappy.

      "There are at least 6 documents that are marked committee confidential" that relate to this, Leahy says.

      Leahy showed a video. Grassley said this is a precedent-making move, so he read a whole thing about this, and is letting Kavanaugh provide more video if he wishes. The Senate is a helluva thing.

      The video is about warrantless surveillance program. Kavanaugh notes the video is about the "terrorist surveillance program." Kavanaugh says he had not previously been read in to the program.

      Asked if he ever worked with John Yoo on warrantless surveillance. Kavanaugh says it was "all hands on deck" after Sept. 11. "There was so much going on in the wake of Sept. 11. ... We had eight lawyers in there ... and there were so many issues to consider."

      L: "Can a president issue a pardon in exchange for a bribe?" Kavanaugh says there could be a secondary crime of the bribe, in addition to whatever was being pardoned, and he wouldn't want to conflate them. Also: "The question of self-pardon is something I have never analyzed."

      Graham is up. Asks if Kavanaugh ever knowingly was involved in the theft of emails. K: No. G: Was he involved in the creation of the warrantless surveillance program? K: No.

      Interesting that he qualified the theft of emails question with "knowingly."

      I mean, that was Graham's point. Even if you were getting info from stolen emails, did you know it?

          Kavanaugh has three stock responses: 1) I do not recall. 2) Senator, you have that in the wrong context. 3) I haven't analyzed that yet.

          Do you think this is potentially a big deal?
