Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      The response from Kavanaugh to Whitehouse about his personal financial situation (p.122) makes no mathematical sense. The country club along costs $92k a year, and his $1.225 million home was purchased without any change in his financial assets https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Kavanaugh%20Responses%20to%20Questions%20for%20the%20Record.pdf … @emptywheel

      The home is possible bc he has said he didn't declare gifts from family. And the club is just $92K to join. Basically, he doesn't want to tell us Daddy bought him his home and club membership.

          That sounds like a lot of gift tax.

          Right, there are limits to what you can receive without declaring to the IRS ($14k)

          Looking at all of this I keep thinking, Kavanaugh was happy to perjure himself in his last two confirmations--why should we believe any of this now?

          I don't think "is just 92k" should ever be used together

          His father needs to report the gifts each year on IRS Form 709.

          I know personal finance and debt is an easy thing to rack up when you make 6 figures. The hard part is paying it off!

          You mean he’d rather have people speculate the tell us what a lot of parents do for there kids. I’m not the most honest person and I wouldn’t care who knew.
