        A Harris aide tells me "it was notable the nominee could not provide a simple yes or no" to Harris's question about whether he talked w/ anyone at the Kasowitz firm about Mueller's investigation. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/kamala-harris-and-brett-kavanaugh-had-a-very-weird-exchange …pic.twitter.com/6AMepacNiC

        tl;dr: We don't know what Harris knows, if she knows more than she was willing to say tonight, because her staff isn't saying. It was a weird, incomplete exchange from her end — but Kavanaugh could have easily answered in a way that wouldn't have looked as weird as it did.

        Like, he's a sitting DC Circuit judge — where appeals that relate to the Mueller investigation are already pending. How many conversations about Mueller's investigation has he had with lawyers?

        And that was the point from her end. She was saying, it doesn't matter how many lawyers work at Kasowitz's firm unless you've like, had a bunch of conversations about Mueller's investigation with random lawyers who you don't really know. Otherwise, the answer could easily be no.

        And if he has, I think the response is more like "I've had conversations at CLEs and events, so, possibly one of them worked at the firm, but no substantive, private discussions," or the like.

        From his end, his point was, and Lee's objection was: It's not a small firm, lawyers move around, maybe he doesn't know — and he doesn't want to say an inadvertent misstatement under oath. And Harris was either playing hide the ball or she doesn't really know if there is a ball.

        Or, as the Dem aide said, they "have reason to believe" there is a ball, but might not have a specific name.

        Anyway, I think the exchange was weird on both ends — I expected more follow-through from her if she was going to bring something up like that — but his odd, uncomfortable non-answer was also weird, given how relatively clean most of his MANY other non-answers were all day.

        I’ve cross-examined countless witnesses. You don’t do that “Are you certain you haven’t . . .” thing unless you’ve got evidence that contradicts them as soon as they deny it.

        Okay, but what does a Senator like Harris know about cross-examining witnesses? I mean, aside from whatever she may have picked up as California's Attorney General?

        It was pretty clear that she knew he talked to someone at the firm, it’s why she was so specific. She even said it, “I think you’re thinking of someone and you don’t want to tell us.” If he did, his evasions here could be perjury.

        I know a lot of lawyers, and can’t imagine having the response Kavanaugh gave to that question, whatever the facts might be. We know what firms our local colleagues work at. Rep. Lee’s interruption, & reference to DC law firms multiplying like rabbits, made it truly absurd.

        Was wondering that too. That’s who I’d expect to be in that spot. @chrisgeidner any insight?
