Asked by Senator Leahy whether Mark Judge should testify, Kavanaugh won’t say yes. He complains about delays & says Judge submitted an affidavit, but refuses to agree he should testify & be subjected to cross examination. This damages his credibility, perhaps irrevocably.
Leahy asks whether Kavanaugh is the drunken Bart O’Kavanaugh character in Judge’s book. Kavanaugh says Leahy will have to ask Judge. The look on Leahy’s face says that’s the whole point here.
Kavanaugh refusing to answer Senator Leahy’s questions & arguing belligerently with him does not enhance his credibility. He asserts the truth in a prepared statement but can’t seem to handle questions he has to have known were coming.
I wonder if anyone will ask if Kavanaugh will submit to a polygraph?
Under pressure from Durbin, Kavanaugh will not ask for an FBI investigation. “The FBI does not reach conclusions.”
Kavanaugh keeps saying he asked for a hearing but he cannot seem to say he believes an FBI investigation is necessary. I think we’re done here.
The Committee asking 2 witnesses questions isn’t the same thing as an FBI investigation that involves all witnesses & evidence, as well as cross-examination of witnesses. Kavanaugh knows this but he keeps answering calls for an investigation by saying there’s a Committee process.
