Those are two different scenarios. He's saying that his friends paid him back, so there would be no impact. If however - and this is purely an academic argument - his friends did not pay him back for the tickets, and instead his parents paid off that debt, the argument could be that the parents indirectly purchased baseball tickets for his friends. That's certainly legal. The third scenario is that there were no tickets at all, and he ran up that debt from whatever. It is perfectly legal for his parents to pay it off. He doesn't even have to pay tax on it, although it will come to account when his parents' estate passes. |
In my reading of the article, only the anonymous classmate says it. Krasberg doesn't say it, nor does Richard Oh, both of whom are mentioned by name. At the end, the story discusses six classmates, three of whom are anonymous, who dispute Ramirez's story and say it would have been out of character for Brett.. Please tell us who the other five people are in the article besides anonymous classmate who say they could envision Kavanaugh doing this. |
For the thousandth time, there was ever $200k in baseball tickets!!! The form says, how much indebtedness do you have? It has a bunch of check boxes with ranges, and he checked the box that said, "between $60k and $200k." If you are going to (try to) make a point, at least get the facts straight. |
But Kavanaugh won't admit to his parents paying his debts. He looks like a mooch and his parents made that money as Swamp Creatures.
I mean, Kavanaugh is basically the opposite of everything that the GOP supposedly supports ("the self-made man"). |
Hirono consistently asks every nominee (not just SCOTUS) if they have ever committed sexual assault or signed an NDA. |
It’s not. But if it’s someone unrelated that’s another story. |
Did that include W getting him drunk and then waggling his schlong in Kavanaugh's face? And if not why not if that's NBD, just boys having fun? |
If his debt was around $60,000 (see PP's earlier post) and his parents had a gifting program, his parents wouldn't have paid off his debt. They would have paid him their normal yearly gift and he would have chosen to use it to pay off his debt. |
You’re missing the point. There were never $60k (or more) of baseball tickets. |
Again. It’s not a problem if his parents have a gifting program. The problem is that Whitehouse specifically asked him about his 60-200k debt repayment and how he paid that off and he specifically said it was payback for buying baseball tickets under oath. He’s already committed perjury a few times, so what’s one more? |
Come on. Yes, I’m sure she feels the death threats and having to relocate her family, and separate them, is worth what you describe. |
Judge Kavenaugh very recently owed 200k in credit card debt-that debt suddenly was paid by undisclosed sources. Who is he beholden to for it? Last time I checked Avenatti wasn't trying to get on the supreme court. |
“WH comms director accused of covering up sexual misconduct at Fox chooses Fox host who defended network's leading perpetrator of sexual misconduct to interview SCOTUS nominee accused of sexual misconduct who was picked by president accused of sexual misconduct.” - Matthew Gertz |
Yeah, when will they ever learn. It’s the lying. It’s always the lying. |
I'd like to keep an anti-abortion judge off the SC, but I'd never make up a story like this and ruin my life. It's not worth it, even though I do not want Kavanaugh on the SC. Only a completely crazy person would do such a thing, and from all accounts, Ford is not crazy. BTW, PP, I don't believe you are anti-Trump for a minute. |
