Mystery money. Where did the mystery money come from to pay off his debts? That’s not “fake news.” That’s a big dang deal.

Generally, the problem is if Kavanaugh didn't disclose his debt and someone, somehow discovered he lied on the disclosure form. No one's suggesting he lied. And if you can't imagine how someone could pay off a $200,000 cc debt legitimately, it's probably due to your lack of imagination, wishful thinking - or more likely your politics getting in the way of critical thinking. I can imagine many ways in which someone could pay down his or he rdebt, so this is a non-issue until someone on the left can be more specific about what Kavanaugh did that is so illegal.

And no one is saying he did anything illegal - yet. It’s just eyebrow raising, and not the judgment you want to see in a current federal judge and Supreme Court nominee, for him to have only mid-five figures in assets outside of his retirement and personal residence, and with all the past debt, and with all the debt suddenly paid off. Bad things happen when judges are broke.

He's been a judge for a long time, been in public service even longer. If this is all you've got, if this is all Washington Post has got - that he took care of his just legal obligations - I think he'll be fine.

This was day 2. You think everything is out already? OK.

+1. WaPo does death by a thousand paper cuts. See also: Scott Pruitt and Trump/ Russia. Wait for it... next news drop in the next week.

Yeah. They probably hired 20 people to research his background in an attempt to dig up any dirt they could find. Like they did with Trump. Good luck with that.
Democracy dies in Darkness, my foot.

Democracy dies at the WaPo. Their new slogan should be “Republican? We’ll investigate. Democrat? Nothing to see here."

Remember they broke a lot of the HRC email scandal in 2016.

But agree the current flavor of Trumpkins are rotting to the core grifters.

I have been told by two sources that years ago Brett Kavanaugh experimented with pineapple on pizza.
One time Brett Kavanaugh brought 18 items into the 15 items or less line... then paid with a personal check.
Brett Kavanaugh leaves the seat up.
DEVELOPING STORY: Sources have told me that Brett Kavanaugh wore white shorts on September 5th, 2017. The day AFTER Labor Day.
Sources have told me privately that on more than one occasion he failed to fully rewind his rented VHS tapes.

I don’t see the “pretty funny” here. Nor is this actually trending on twitter. Why lie?

Yeah, it is actually trending on Twitter.
And, it’s pretty funny because it shows that while the Dems want to demonize this man, they’ve got nothing.

Here is the thing that anyone with a brain knows: Court of Appeals judges and SCOTUS justice make decisions that affect millions and can cost companies billions. You do not want a judge who could be bought. And being that far underwater, negative balance sheet and unsustainable debt levels makes it more likely someone can be bought. It’s why you can’t get a security clearance with that balance sheet.

He also had no means of paying all that debt off at once. And the WH does not say inheritance or other legal windfall. They say repaid for baseball tickets. Really?

And no— 200k in credit card debt with a HHI is not normal. Educational debt? Maybe. But not mid 50s and not credit cards.

Because no bank would give a UMC DMV person that much unsecured debt, with that HHI. His balance sheet shows he was on the verge of Chapter 11 (chapter 7 is for the Poors).

According to PP's, everyone in Chevy Chase is as solvent/broke as he is. They're all living on credit cards, apparently. And that's fine.

Has no one on here ever charged theater tickets for other people--travel tickets, etc for a group and later received reimbursement?

200K worth? When that's your annual salary?

Who is this dumb?

The actual scandal, not the Russian bot pushed ones:
$200K in credit card debt. Mysteriously paid off.
Lied under oath.
Did Kennedy hand pick his replacement?
Are his opinions actually sound?

Tell me what law Karavanaugh broke by paying down his debt. He would lose his security clearance if he is unable to, or refuse to, pay down his just obligations. Never heard of someone losing security clearance by following the law.

$280K HHI here.

We bought $1600 worth of Hamilton tix for our relatives and I was annoyed that DW still wasn't reimbursed by her sister and brother when the monthly statement from Chase came due (we pay off the balance in full every month, 'natch).

So yeah, $200K worth of baseball tickets is crazy. Someone else paid off his debt. Who?

No wonder Trump loves Kavanaugh: kompromat. He only appoints people who have dirt under their fingernails; it ensures they are submissive to Trump.

Our standards for a Supreme Court justice are higher than "it's not illegal". They're supposed to be the best, wisest members of our country. They're not supposed to be just like us, one paycheck away from disaster.

Also, here's how Manchin, Heitkamp, etc voted AGAINST Kavanaugh that will sell well back home:

he's an indebted elitist. He attended the most elite schools, had every advantage in life, and still lives and spends like a drunken sailor that buys $200K worth of baseball tickets on credit card.

The ads write themselves.

Next the White House will tell us he is actually a very stable financial genius because he earned miles on his credit card purchases.

Ok, not a baseball person here, but how many tickets are we talking about to rack up $200,000????
