What Kompromat does GOP have on Kavanaugh?

The thought just occurred to me. The GOP probably has blackmail documents on Kavanaugh. Things that are worse than what we already know. That would make him an even more perfect pick for them.

It seems pretty clear he's a sexual predator. His taste for model-like interns is well known. His need to know and expose the most lurid details of the Clinton/Lewinsky affair were unnecessary to the case but perhaps quite titillating to him and others in private.

All this makes me wonder just how big a predator and pervert he might really be. If the GOP has information on him they have to worry even less about him being a solid vote. They have not only his ideology but his blackmail documents.

More investigation needs to be done into his finances. What has been reported in the media doesn’t add up.

That the GOP prefers compromised individuals in their ranks, who are more controllable.

That's publicly documented. No need for kompromat.

If any were involved, he'd be on the side of turning the screw on others.

Btw, we know a close friend of Kavanaugh's, who's a high-up on the legal team involved in getting him confirmed, just tried to frame an innocent man for attempted rape of 15-year-old Christine Blasey. Leaks say Kavanaugh and a top senator at least discussed that course of action; investigation would find out if they approved it.

Take a look at Kavanaugh's involvement with the Starr investigation, an intensely unethical, immoral, antidemocratic, grave misuse of power from beginning to end. If it were secret, he could be blackmailed for that, but it's not.

All the other bad stuff about him seems to be out there already, and the GOP certainly doesn't seem to care. But if he was in hock to some bad actors on account of a serious gambling problem, they wouldn't want that known.
