Kavanaugh is exactly the prurient obsessive you think he is

A memo Brett Kavanaugh wrote two decades ago containing graphic detail about President Bill Clinton’s conduct with Monica Lewinsky became public Monday, showing the Supreme Court nominee was adamant that independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s team had a responsibility to “make his pattern of revolting behavior clear.”

The 33-year-old lawyer said the investigators had a truth-seeking function distinct from determining whether Clinton broke the law. The memo also is full of his moral judgment of the president’s conduct.

As well as his obsession with sexual details.

“The idea of going easy on him at the questioning is ... abhorrent to me," Kavanaugh wrote in the two-page memo, which was sent to Starr and all other attorneys on his staff on Aug. 15, 1998. “The President has disgraced his Office, the legal system, and the American people by having sex with a 22-year-old intern and turning her life into a shambles — callous and disgusting behavior that has somehow gotten lost in the shuffle. ... He has tried to disgrace you and this Office with a sustained propaganda campaign that would make Nixon blush.”

“He should be forced to account for all of that and to defend his actions,” Kavanaugh added in a bold font. “It may not be our job to impose sanctions on him, but it is our job to make his pattern of revolting behavior clear — piece by painful piece — on Monday.”

The memo goes on to list 10 questions he proposed for Clinton, six of which are explicit and several of which are extraordinarily graphic.

Later that same month, Kavanaugh wrote to colleagues that he was concerned with the volume of explicit content in a report to Congress that Starr was preparing.

“IS IT TOO GRAPHIC?” Kavanaugh asked in an Aug. 31, 1998 memo to Starr aides. “SHOULD IT BE MORE GRAPHIC (kidding)?”

Kavanaugh later would argue that Congress should make the president immune from both civil lawsuits and criminal investigations while still in office.

“It sure is odd how Brett Kavanaugh had such detailed questions in mind for Bill Clinton, but now apparently thinks it is improper for a president to even be asked about foreign meddling in our elections,” [Brian Fallon of Demand Justice] said.

[T]he document was not published in its entirety until Monday, when it was released by the National Archives along with other Kavanaugh-related files from Starr's office.

The records are part of a broader set of documents Democrats and Republicans are tussling over in advance of Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, set to begin Sept. 4.

No wonder Grassley's Asses have been trying to keep so many Kavanaugh documents hidden.
