Trump says of Kavanaugh,
"He is an innocent man who has been treated HORRIBLY,"
He is really a horrible man who has been treated innocently.
After Kavanaugh was confirmed I wrote here that history had not finished with this guy, and that enterprising journalists would dig away for some time and come back with new info about him, and indeed I read this week that this is happening now. Whatever the truth about the sexual allegations, he lied under oath about his past, his diary, and his previous work in the Bush Administration. He's got it coming.
Kavanaugh is trumps man just like W Barr is trumps man. They are among the inner circle. trump can depend on both of them to protect against legal challenges.
