What Are Republicans Hiding About Brett Kavanaugh?

The New Republic
July 31, 2018

THEIR REFUSAL TO SEEK DOCUMENTS FROM THE SUPREME COURT NOMINEE'S TENURE AS GEORGE W. BUSH'S STAFF SECRETARY IS STARTING TO LOOK SUSPICIOUS



In Brett Kavanaugh's long and distinguished career in law, one period stands out as especially important to him.

"People sometimes ask what prior legal experience has been most useful to me as a judge," Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump's nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, wrote in 'Marquette Law Magazine' in 2016.
"And I say, 'I certainly draw on all of them,' but I also say that my five-and-a-half years at the White House and especially my three years as staff secretary for President George W. Bush were the most interesting and informative for me,"
Six years earlier, he made a nearly identical statement.

Given these remarks, it's understandable that U.S. senators would be interested in his work and writings during his tenure in the Bush White House.
After all, in the coming months they will be voting on whether to confirm Kavanaugh to a lifetime post on the Supreme Court.
From there, he will spend the next three to four decades interpreting the Constitution and shaping the future of American law.
Kennedy's impact, as the court's swing justice, on the nation's lives and liberties underscores the gravity of this process and the need for maximal transparency.

2004, at the end of her show at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, Linda Ronstadt dedicates her encore, a cover of the Eagles' "Desperado," to filmmaker Michael Moore, urging fans to go see his current movie, "Fahrenheit 911."

A shocked audience reacts mostly with boos, approximately half walk out on the spot.

Speaking of Trump getting a girl pregnant and then paying for an abortion....

If you haven't already read this OP in the General Discussion forum, you might want to now:
"It Is Possible That the Broidy Pregnant GF Story Might Be Enough To Take DT Down"
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210820273

It's supposedly the REAL story about "top GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy, a former Playboy model's $16 million payment for securing an abortion and covering up an affair; President Trump, our policy towards a foreign ally, and large defense contracts."

But this is nothing new for Trump.
He's done this before.
He's had extrramarital affairs and paid "hush money" to cover-up the affairs, and, on at least one other occasion, paid for an abortion.

The case is the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl back in the early 1990s.
It occurred at Trump's friend (and convicted pedophile) Jeffrey Epstein's NYC town house
The victim stated, under oath, in a deposition in U.S. District Court, that Trump tied her down to the bed, exposed himself to her, and then raped her, ignoring her screams for him to stop.
When he got off her, with tears running down her face, she asked him, "What if I get pregnant?"
To which he replied, "Then get a fucking abortion!" and threw some money in her face.
(An eyewitness to the alleged rape also signed a deposition, under oath, in U.S. District Court)

Read the alleged rape victim's story in her own words:
