      Except for the all the claims of alleged dishonest or inaccurate testimony have been taken apart by @DavidLat. But other than that . . .

      False. Lat dismantled claims that this rises to the level of criminal perjury. But not dishonesty. Kavanaugh told precisely the same lie abt Stellar Wind Alberto Gonzales did. Precisely the same. Is it chargeable? No. Was it a lie? Absolutely.

      And it is absolutely the case that the Republican rush and the rank incompetence of the Admin made this worse. He'll be confirmed, probably, but he'll be tainted forever. Rightly.

      7. There's no evidence, in recently released emails or elsewhere, showing Kavanaugh had knowledge of Miranda's acts. To the contrary, Miranda told @NYTimes & @WashingtonPost that Kavanaugh "had no knowledge." https://nyti.ms/2CpkkHq , https://wapo.st/2wSXnHs

      LOL. If that's true, he's too stupid to be SCOTUS. You choose.

          A memo's drafted by a D, marked "CONFIDENTIAL". A D staffer gets a copy in normal course; zero illicit. Staffer shares it w/ sm1. W/ an R staffer? Maybe not; or maybe. Maybe w/ a friend at a think tank or a lobbyist… who shares it w/ sm1 else. Then yadda-yadda… it's at the WH.

          I can agree that Kavanaugh was too stupid to figure it out in real time. But not the 2006 questions. At that point, he owed an explanation.
