THREAD #5: A point-by-point breakdown of Judge Kavanaugh's claims about his work on a Bush administration detention and interrogation policies.
Exhibit 5: Kavanaugh stated under oath that he “was not involved…in the questions about the rules governing detention of combatants,” a highly controversial set of policies pursued by the Bush WH in the wake of 9/11. False again.
Ex. 5a: Media reports have shown that Kavanaugh was involved in WH debates about the capture and detention of U.S. citizen “enemy combatants” without access to lawyers. voices.washingtonpost.com/cheney/chapter…
Ex. 5b-d: Emails also show that Kavanaugh prepped the AG for a hearing on post-9/11 detention policies, was looped in on legal questions regarding detention, & was included on efforts to spin torture days after the ignominious Torture Memo was public.
