Has Any Senator Asked Kavanaugh If He Talked With Trump?.....

[global1]

We know why Trump is upset with Sessions. Sessions recused himself of this Russia investigation. Trump has said if he knew Sessions would have recused himself - he wouldn't have appointed him to Justice.

Now it seems Trump may be faced with the same from Kavanaugh. I don't think that Trump would make the same mistake twice. So I have to believe that Trump had that conversation with Kavanaugh and they talked recusal. I also believe that Kavanaugh answered all of Trump's hypothetical questions.

So what I want to know is - did any Senator ask Kavanaugh about any talks with Trump? And how did Kavanaugh answer.

Did Kavanaugh agree to a loyalty oath with Trump?

1. Trumpy INTERVIEWED Kavanaugh before nominating him.

That's part of the public record.

Yes, it's unorthodox and shows a conflict of interest. But that's Trumpy for you. He doesn't give a shit.

2. But Has Anyone Asked Kavanaugh If Trump Talked About The Mueller....

investigation; asked him about recusal; tried to extract a loyalty oath from Kavanaugh.

Now I don't know that Kavanaugh would straight out answer those questions - but I have to know if any of the Dem Senators on the committee asked Kavanaugh these questions?

3. Not during the hearings they didn't.

They may have asked him privately, but who knows.

4. Don't You Think That This Would Be A Logical Line Of Questioning?.....

Why wouldn't Dems ask Kavanaugh?

6. You would think so,

I don't know why they didn't publicly ask him.

Gotta go, my business needs me there.
Have a great day.

9. They have no way to prove it

If there was a private discussion between Trump and Kavenaugh, they would both lie about it anyway. Neither one is going to fess up, so it becomes a dead end line of questioning that cannot be disproven. It would be different if there was evidence or witnesses who would prove otherwise.

5. How is that unorthodox?

Obama interviewed his selections too. I'd imagine that every nominee was interviewed at least once by the appointing president.

7. I was going to make that point also,

but what's the use?

8. I Agree That It Would Be Pretty Standard Practice For A President To Talk With....

his possible nominee. But Trump is no standard president and I have to believe that the Russian investigation; recusal and loyalty came up in the conversation. Again - I would think that it would be a logical question by a Dem Senator to ask of Kavanaugh in light of Trump constant tantrums related to Sessions recusing himself and Trump demanding loyalty from his minions.

I think it rather odd that it looks like no Dem Senator approached that line of questioning with Kavanaugh.
