Take note: Unless it was produced by the National Archives, every document you see from Judge Kavanaugh’s White House tenure was selectively chosen for release by his former deputy, Bill Burck. This is not an objective process. nytimes.com/2018/08/09/us/…
Because the National Archives won’t be able to complete its production of Judge Kavanaugh’s White House documents by October, Senate Republicans are getting ready to argue that the partisan Bill Burck document production is good enough to use for a September hearing. It’s not.
The Bill Burck document production is a partisan effort to flood the Judiciary Committee with largely irrelevant documents, like news clippings and mass emails, while withholding controversial documents from Kavanaugh’s record. It’s not credible.
And who is Bill Burck, the lawyer Republicans have tasked with screening Judge Kavanaugh’s documents for release? He’s Judge Kavanaugh’s former White House deputy and he represents George W. Bush, Don McGahn, and Steve Bannon. Not objective.
The American people have the right to know the full record of the man President Trump has nominated to fill the most important Supreme Court vacancy in a generation. #WhatAreTheyHiding #ReleaseTheRecords
