Kavanaugh Was Questioned by Police After Bar Fight in 1985

Source: NYT

NEW HAVEN — As an undergraduate student at Yale, Brett M. Kavanaugh was involved in an altercation at a local bar during which he was accused of throwing ice on another patron, according to a police report.

The incident, which occurred in September 1985 during Mr. Kavanaugh’s junior year, resulted in Mr. Kavanaugh and four other men being questioned by the New Haven Police Department. Mr. Kavanaugh was not arrested, but the police report stated that a 21-year-old man accused Mr. Kavanaugh of throwing ice on him “for some unknown reason.”

A witness to the fight said that Chris Dudley, a Yale basketball player who was friends with Mr. Kavanaugh, then hit the man in the ear with a glass, according to the police report, which was obtained by The New York Times.

The report said that the victim, Dom Cozzolino, “was bleeding from the right ear” and was later treated at a local hospital. A detective was notified of the incident at 1:20 a.m.

How did this never come up?

I don't doubt the story--what I mean is, how do people get away with covering up events like this when they're in the public eye?

The one good thing to have come out of the last two years is the truly excellent, incisive, deadly writing by some of the brilliant authors who are on our side. I don't read any right-wing commentary (at least not on purpose) but, since they truck in dumbed-down meanness and lies, I don't think they have the quick-witted artists of the written word that we do.

Then again, I'm not angling for a Supreme Court position and, besides, mine happened outside the jurisdiction of the United States.

I would not recommend me for a position in the Supreme Court.

who threw ice on someone else in a Daytona Beach bar. The other guy started it by going out and jumping fully clothed into the oceanside swimming pool and then coming back inside and shaking himself off like a big wet dog right behind my friend. It was the '70's. We beat it out of there before blood could ensue. The ice thrower is now a priest. Shhhhh...

All I know is that it turned into a free-for-all in a brothel in Mexico. As we're running out the door, one of the ladies grabs a longneck beer bottle like a rubber stamp and plants the bottom of the bottle on one of the guy's eye's as he's running out the door and she leaves a shiner that lasted him for weeks.

it won't be what's in the hidden documents that does him in. Now we've got potential witness tampering with the texts to former Yale classmates. What's next?

Come on people,...

It must have been off campus, out of church, but at the local bar,....

Holy Communion.

Just a few alter boys practicing their vestry chores at the local watering hole.

For the Father, for the Son, and for the Budweiser ghost.

What business would a choir boy have at a bar anyway? Was he selling raffle tickets for choir competitions? Unusual.
