Regarding Kavanaugh's debt and "gambling problems" [View all]

[AndJusticeForSome]

While I have been following the Kavanaugh story, I had not paid much attention to the debt and/or alledged gambling aspect.

Unless I'm mistaken, there's nothing there, and perhaps we should maintain focus on the much more important and plentiful issues about him and his pending appointment? Is this all based on the July WaPo story and those 2 excerpts of emails from 2001?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/supreme-court-nominee-brett-kavanaugh-piled-up-credit-card-debt-by-purchasing-nationals-tickets-white-house-says/2018/07/11/8e3ad7d6-8460-11e8-9e80-403a221946a7_story.html

Given the details in that article, the baseball tickets story is somewhat plausible; and to answer some questions that I keep seeing:

1) how expensive can baseball tickets be?
2) the "between $60-200k" issue.

Kavanaugh incurred tens of thousands of dollars of credit card debt buying baseball tickets over the past decade.

In 2016, Kavanaugh reported having between $60,000 and $200,000 in debt accrued over three credit cards and a loan.

His past financial disclosure forms reveal that Kavanaugh has incurred significant credit card debt on and off for more than a decade. He previously reported between $60,000 to $200,000 in debt among three credit cards and a loan in 2006...

I *think* the correct interpretation is that, over the course of a decade, between 60-200k in credit card debt, which includes a loan that he took in 2006, were reported [in those years where the balance was greater than $60k].

So, he bought the baseball tickets over 10 years, and each season ticket ran about $9,000, and he bought some for friends. That adds up.

So, when was the debt paid (early 2017, when exactly?) and when did he become aware of his forthcoming nomination? Honestly, I can imagine if somebody knew that was coming, they would want to settle the books, nothing nefarious.

Further, if the whole thing about his "gambling" problem was derived from that one little comment about "blowing a game of dice", then we might want to step back.

That game of dice was on a private yacht that he and his buddies were on over the weekend. All this time I was thinking there was casino gambling or something involved.

Folks, there is SO much about Kavanaugh to complain about, why go there? To me it reeks of the kind of twisting the Faux crowd loves. Why go there?
