I got into Yale Law School. Thats the number one law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college. Kavanaugh under Oath to the Senate.Everett Edward Kavanaugh, Bretts grandfather, attended Yale as an undergraduate student. Everetts Name appears Yales 1928 year book. Brett Kavanaugh was a Yale legacy Student.

Thats it. Theres no way out. No wriggle room. However faulty Kavanaugh recollection of events 30+ years ago may be theres no doubt at all he would be aware of his familys connection with Yale. Its as open and shut as you can get Lying under Oath.
Flake was asked on 60 minutes If Judge Kavanaugh is shown to have lied to the committee, (his) nominations over? Oh yes, Flake responded.

There may be no way out for Kavanaugh, but Kavs pathetic little lie provides a very welcome out for Flake and his flakettes, the GOP, Trump and conservative jurists. The last thing they want is to have a protracted discussion about a how an apparatchik with a drinking problem and a checkered past came to be nominated for the highest court in the land.
Whatever the FBIs findings Flake et al will try to zero in on Kavs pathetic little lie, with the tacit support of the Republican leadership, conservative jurists, and Id wager the Chief Justice. Kavanaugh testimony backfired Big Time. He is figure of fun, of ridicule, at least for those women who dont recognise the angry abusive men who have traumatised them and their friends.
Kavanaugh was the guy who was supposed to cement a conservative majority on SCOTUS. He is compromised. Trump will dump him hes loyal to no one. I expect we will here something like Judge Kavanaugh mad a stupid mistake. Its a tragedy. Hes a brilliant man, but Im deferring to the Senate
End of Story.
EDIT: It may be that Kavaughs statement he had no connection to Yale Law School is not clear cut perjury. If so I apologise for posting a dead end . Time is too short for sloppy mistakes. Sorry.

Under normal circumstances, it would be one of the lies that should disqualify him

I agree, that might not be deemed a "significant" lie. Now, other ones . . . . . .

You seem to get very creative with claiming what people meant by what they said

If he had a relative who had attended the Law School, that would have helped.

Thank you for the civil exchange as well! Not surprised the Law School is not thrilled to

Perjury is OK if you're a Republican. And as lies go, this one's just a fib.
