Hey @realDonaldTrump - have you asked Judge Kavanaugh what happens if Giuliani lies to Mueller for you? It wouldn’t be the first time he’s considered that question — and you might not like the answer.
We found this 1996 memo in the Kavanaugh files that the National Archives just released in response to our lawsuit with @FixTheCourt: documentcloud.org/documents/4630… 
While working on the Starr commission, Kavanaugh asked whether a person can violate criminal obstruction of justice laws by lying to his attorney when the attorney is preparing for an official inquiry. Which seems relevant to @realDonaldTrump’s interests.
The memo to Kavanaugh said that while—as of 1996—there were no known court decisions dealing with that exact issue, it could be analogous to “misleading a witness, and intending that the witness will convey the misinformation to an official proceeding" documentcloud.org/documents/4630…
Remember: this was not a hypothetical question for Kavanaugh, who was working on the Starr commission investigating Bill Clinton.

Since then, the federal district court in DC (in United States v. Ring (2009)) has found that a person *can* obstruct justice when they lie to a private attorney, per part of the same subsection as the provision at issue in the memo Kavanaugh received.
Given Rudy Giuliani’s role in @realDonaldTrump’s collusion defense—and the very real possibility that Trump has lied to Giuliani knowing he will repeat those lies—Kavanaugh’s views on this question could matter.
This is just one document out of thousands that could shine a light on Kavanaugh’s record and his fitness to serve on the Supreme Court. We’re representing @FixTheCourt & fighting to release Kavanaugh’s files before the Senate votes: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
