Like I said before, it’s not really a bad choice if they get what they want in the courts for years to come. I mean in the world where adults are actually held accountable, bad choices would mean more but… they’re going probably going to push this guy through so bad choices, not playing by the rules, doing unconstitutional things… none of that matters if they get what they want which is to to control the courts long beyond any number of elections.
This is circumstantial — just because they’re close friends doesn’t mean they discussed the Mueller investigation — but it certainly makes Kavanaugh’s pretense that he’d never heard of the firm and couldn’t be sure if he knew anyone who worked there look, well, not good.
She did the hand signal again, this time while looking directly into the camera.
So who’s going to stop in here and hand wave it away this time?
Nothing is benign with these people. The sooner everyone wakes up to it, the better. They are evil people!
She’s obviously trolling, and this is all Stephen Miller’s style. But all the people (including her husband) who went into a frothing righteous rage over the reaction to her first stunt can go fuck themselves.
Senator Lindsey Graham thinks America should ban abortion because it isn’t mentioned in the Constitution.

One of the fallouts from Trump had better be this bootlicker losing his job.

Awesome. Sounds like an even bigger scumbag than has already been reported.
David Brock is an ex-conservative, now heads Media Matters, if you haven’t heard the name.

No it is particularly stupid question. He said he talked to people, specially judge about Mueller and the investigation. One of those people could have had worked for the law firm in the past or subsequently joined the law firm. If Harris had some particular person in she should have named them. In fact you can’t even definitively say that you’ve never talked to anyone who has worked for the Kasowitz firm.

I could definitively state that “To the best of my knowledge, I haven’t spoken with anyone that works for that firm about the Mueller investigation.” Why couldn’t he say that? Because he knows he’s talked to lawyers about it, most likely one that works there.
I can say with absolute certainty that I’ve never knowingly talked with anyone at the Kasowitz law firm about the Mueller investigation, and I’m not even an appeals court judge who should be cautious about discussing cases in my jurisdiction with parties to the case. It wasn’t a stupid question, no matter how many times you say it was.

This. If you watched it, it was obvious that he was guilty of something and thinking desperately of how to get around the question. The only thing he didn’t do was tug on his collar and sweat like Rodney Dangerfield.
And the fact that Harris framed the question in such a way as to suggest a discussion of obvious substance and germane to questions about whether the President can refuse a subpoena or be indicted.

My theory: He met with one of that firm’s principals, or the meeting was actually in their offices.
Or, that was my theory. If those questions were a trap, one assumes she’d have sprung it by now. Maybe she was just fishing, or maybe her evidence has some holes in it.

He is friends with a person there. That came out the day after the questioning, or the night of.
“A Kasowitz partner by the name of Ed McNally, who also happened to be a very close associate of Kavanaugh’s when they worked together in the White House.”

Given his political party, he was probably having an affair with a legal assistant at the firm and doesn’t want that coming out.
