Kavanaugh Fumbles On Key Mueller Question



Trump's man for the Supreme Court had a homina homina moment yesterday thanks to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who pointedly asked him whether he'd had any conversations about Robert Mueller's investigation with anyone at the law firm of Kasowitz, Benson and Torres, the law firm of unindicted co-conspirator Donald "Rump" Trump's lawyer Marc Kasowitz. Kavanaugh played dumb, stumbled, and asked Harris if she had a specific name, but Harris wouldn't relent. It's clear from his reaction that he did have such a conversation but didn't want to perjure himself by lying about it. 
Well done, Sen. Harris.

BONUS: The exchange with Sen. Harris is only part of Kavanaugh's evasiveness regarding Rump and his legal liability. He repeatedly dodged or refused to answer questions concerning Presidential powers of pardon, and whether a sitting President can be indicted and/or subpoenaed. His prior writings on the subject suggesting broad Presidential powers were clearly what appealed to the corrupt Rump.
