Rats at the White (Supremacist) House, including disgraced former Fox executive and sexual harassment overseer Bill Shine, have been busy prepping accused sexual assaulter Brett Kavanaugh for the upcoming Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. The WaPo is reporting all is not going well for him:
Kavanaugh grew frustrated when it came to questions that dug into his private life, particularly his drinking habits and his sexual proclivities, according to three people familiar with the preparations, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. He declined to answer some questions altogether, saying they were too personal, these people said.
“I’m not going to answer that,” Kavanaugh said at one point according to a senior White House official, who said that the questions were designed to go over the line and that he struck the right tone. (our emphasis)"... the right tone"? As in, "I'm stonewalling you"? That can't be good.
We pause for a little karma:
Bad sign for Kavanaugh that this detail leaked.— Brian Beutler (@brianbeutler) September 22, 2018
But the fact that Kavanaugh, who desperately wanted ask Bill Clinton about various places where he ejaculated, is blanching at these questions is chef-kissing-fingers perfect. pic.twitter.com/98Z0zz6PR4
In my fantasy version of 2018, @MonicaLewinsky shows up to this hearing, sits right behind Kavanaugh, in response to which he crumbles while testifying. https://t.co/7chRB39Qkm pic.twitter.com/TyAOcd9qxe— emptywheel (@emptywheel) September 22, 2018
Let's get real: When you've done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide you, at a minimum, 1) answer any questions posed to you without stonewalling, 2) insist that the FBI open up their background investigation of you before going forward, 3) insist that the only eyewitness to the assault (Mark Judge) be compelled to testify, and 4) don't participate in spreading a fake doppelgänger alibi that fingers an innocent classmate. Of course, Kavanaugh and his rat handlers are doing none of these things.
It's easy for all but the most rotted out to draw a conclusion simply from Kavanaugh's evasive actions, even without the credible testimony of Dr. Blasey Ford.
BONUS: Lest we forget, Kavanaugh has some shady finances, too.
