What could possibly possess a good lawyer to double down on prior lies (if lies they were) and reiterate them now, when the entire world is watching on national television? Do you really think he would do that?

I’m not a lawyer and don’t follow legal issues closely so the first time I ever heard Brett Kavanaugh speak was at his introductory press conference where he lied about Donald Trump’s respect for the judiciary.

So, sure, I believe ambition caused him to lie other times too. https://t.co/fI6wikXGki
