      TONIGHT ENDED ON AN ODD NOTE: Kamala Harris And Brett Kavanaugh Had A Very Weird Exchange At His Confirmation Hearing About The Mueller Investigation https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/kamala-harris-and-brett-kavanaugh-had-a-very-weird-exchange …pic.twitter.com/owuvcDvP7O

      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.

          They were trying to belittle her by explaining how law firms work, and she wasn't having it. She was a fucking AG.

          The DC office is only 7 lawyers - New York office has 15. Not so big.

          If she didn't know there was a ball when she asked the question, she knows now.

          It was a simple answer. “No, I haven’t”; Or “Yes, I have in [context here]”. Kavanaugh is dishonest & #KavanaughIsDishonorable

          Your view is logical, but think like a cross-examiner for a moment. Possible answers: yes (game over), maybe (I talk about Mueller w people I don’t actually know), or no (an answer he can safely give only if it’s the truth). He evaded instead, and thus she won big.

          If there is no "ball," as it were, the exchange is even more impressive from her end. Because there's no question his evasiveness reads very badly. it should be an easy question to answer unless he has had a number and variety of conversations that is truly inappropriate.
