Emails sent to the Senate judiciary committee and obtained by the Guardian show that beginning in 2001, Kavanaugh was involved in a high-stakes campaign to ensure that Timothy Tymkovich, another staunch conservative and a former Colorado solicitor general, would secure a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

The revelation could create new concerns about the politicization of the supreme court and cast doubt on whether Kavanaugh will face any formal disciplinary action over his fiery and emotional testimony before the Senate judiciary committee earlier this month.

The corruption thickens.

1. Corruption:

In general, corruption is a form of dishonesty or criminal activity undertaken by a person or organization entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire illicit benefit.

[1] Corruption may include many activities including bribery and embezzlement, though it may also involve practices that are legal in many countries.

[2] Political corruption occurs when an office-holder or other governmental employee acts in an official capacity for personal gain. Corruption is most commonplace in kleptocracies, oligarchies, narco-states and mafia states.

2. D'uh, isn't there some sort of ethics problem here?

I think so.
Sad that the congress doesn’t.

7. Doesn't the word "recuse" fit into this situation?

Is there anyone associated with this administration who isn't compromised?

3. I'm just wondering what type of disciplinary action could be taken against him.

I know that only Congress has the power to remove him. But what else if anything could be done? Anybody know? Thanks.

6. Good grief! There is no end to this filth, it seems.

They truly should be stopped, and NOT allowed to conduct their criminality right in front of us. It's exactly as if they are mooning us every damned day, only far worse, of course.

The idiots are imposters and everyone knows it.
