Was Kavanaugh Asked If He Illegally Leaked Details Of Whitewater Investigation To Anyone?

I have read in a few places Kavanaugh illegally leaked details in Whitewater. Was he asked about this? Does anyone know?

I have seen no/little discussion of this criminal activity.

From David Brock:

"I knew then that information was flowing quietly from the Jones team via Conway to Starr's office — and also that Conway's go-to man was none other than Brett Kavanaugh.

That critical flow of inside information allowed Starr, in effect, to set a perjury trap for Clinton, laying the foundation for a crazed national political crisis and an unjust impeachment over a consensual affair.

But the cabal's godfather was Ted Olson, the then-future solicitor general for George W. Bush and now a sainted figure of the GOP establishment (and of some liberals for his role in legalizing same-sex marriage). Olson had a largely hidden role as a consigliere to the "Arkansas Project" — a multi-million dollar dirt-digging operation on the Clintons, funded by the eccentric right-wing billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife and run through The American Spectator magazine, where I worked at the time.
Both Ted and Brett had what one could only be called an unhealthy obsession with the Clintons — especially Hillary. While Ted was pushing through the Arkansas Project conspiracy theories claiming that Clinton White House lawyer and Hillary friend Vincent Foster was murdered (he committed suicide), Brett was costing taxpayers millions by peddling the same garbage at Starr's office.

A detailed analysis of Kavanaugh's own notes from the Starr Investigation reveals he was cherry-picking random bits of information from the Starr investigation — as well as the multiple previous investigations — attempting vainly to legitimize wild right-wing conspiracies. For years he chased down each one of them without regard to the emotional cost to Foster’s family and friends, or even common decency.

Kavanaugh was not a dispassionate finder of fact but rather an engineer of a political smear campaign. And after decades of that, he expects people to believe he's changed his stripes. "

Who Is Tired Of Religious Fanatics Pushing Their "Agenda" and Hypocrisy Down Our Throats

All for the benefit of billionaires?

A small number of abortion obsessed cult members drive our nation's politics, and it has to stop.

They are all pro-life except when it comes to bombing Iraq, or cutting food stamps for starving children, and ripping babies from the arms of their asylum seeking parents, who are running for their lives.

The EVIL that the Republican Party has come to represent must be driven back into the woods once and for all.

And never forget. It is all for the benefit of the .01%.

All of it.

You and I and our families are supposed to pay off the debt, and raise our kids on Hothouse Earth because of business as usual.

It is time folks.....

Get Ready For The Pink Wave - Sorry GOP But You Gotta Go

Pu**y Grabbin' wasn't good enough to wake them all up.

Promoting an abuser like Kavanaugh and ignoring his victims will be the end of their reign of terror.

Is It Right To Feel I Want To Make Republicans Pay For The Hell They Have Brought To Our Nation?

It isn't just anger. I want then to pay. I don't care if they live on another planet (Foxworld). They know they are evil, and cruel, and their actions hurt "others".

They know.

They don't care.

They need to pay for their actions.

Somehow "Real Americans" need to rise up and put their evil, lying, treasonous asses in place.

How? I don't know. Prison would be the first word that comes to mind..... Asylums the next word.... How about Siberia?

Kavanaugh Almost Certainly A Rapist - Get The Language Straight CNN / MSNBC

Accusers who are willing to testify, and take polygraph tests, versus his (constantly lying) word.

There is no benefit of the doubt room here MSM.

Get the language straight.

And Flake is not a hero. On a scale of 1 to 10 he did a 1. Something anyone with any sort of honor would do. For a Republican, to do the right thing one time requires a medal? Well.... yes....

Kavanaugh - Polygraph Or Get Lost

She passed.

Kavanaugh refuses to take test he believes in previously.

This one is pretty much too easy to call.

Take the test or quit you f-ing drunk.

Every person on the planet that doesn't live on Foxworld know you did it.

All Republicans believe you because, well, they are Republicans. They will believe anything.....

Zero Dem Votes For Ken Stars Partisan Tool Attempted Rapist

In my opinion if you vote yes to confirm before Kavanaugh IS CLEARED you need to switch parties.

I know I can't trash dems but if we don't stand for what's right we need a different job.
