    WaPo gives Kavanaugh a 3 of 4 Pinocchio lie points for his lies about using emails Miranda stole. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/20/brett-kavanaughs-unlikely-story-about-democrats-stolen-documents/ … But doesn't make related point: any decent person would apologize when learning he had used stolen emails. Kavanaugh did not.

        "Kavanaugh explanation, even when confronted with an email from a second staffer with the subject line “spying” was that it was all perfectly normal.

        That's because Kavanaugh is not a decent person, he's a #Republican. I thought that was obvious.

        Not only he didn't apologize. He lied about it. Under oath. Only for that, Kavanaugh should not only withdraw from consideration, but thrown out of that federal bench he is occupying. Attempted rape is just the corollary for an "exemplary" career as a dirty GOP operative.

        What about his lies about not being involved in the Pryor nomination. Bad faith misleading remarks backed up with calculated deceit is his hallmark. The latest allegation fits his pattern of doing whatever he needs to do to get what he wants.

        He knew exactly where they came from when he got them. He was a Republican political operator which requires leaving quaint notions like right and wrong at the door.

        The way Kavanaugh is not owning up and apologizing for his actions as a young man and as an adult, tells us everything we need to know about him and his so called integrity.
