Everything Donald Trump touches he corrupts.
What should have been an easy Supreme Court nomination — considering the Republicans have the majority in the Senate — has turned into a trainwreck thanks to Trump’s handpicked choice.
Not only did the GOP feel the need to hide thousands of documents about Brett Kavanaugh, he’s also been caught lying multiple times, and is facing a credible accusation of attempted rape.

And there’s more. In a New Yorker article that dropped over the weekend, a college classmate of Kavanaugh’s is accusing him of exposing himself to her at a party. She says he “thrust his penis in her face” during a drinking game.
Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer, who wrote the article, stress they can’t corroborate the 30+ year old claim, despite a roomful of other students. But it certainly doesn’t look good for Kavanaugh.
For more, here’s Ronan discussing the story on GMA:

But somehow that’s not all…
Now Stormy Daniels‘ hot lawyer Michael Avenatti has come forward with ANOTHER claim.
I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge. We will be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee and will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify. The nomination must be withdrawn.

Warning: My client re Kavanaugh has previously done work within the State Dept, U.S. Mint, & DOJ. She has been granted multiple security clearances in the past including Public Trust & Secret. The GOP and others better be very careful in trying to suggest that she is not credible

Avenatti is playing this close to the vest for now, but in the past he’s been very careful to vet his clients’ information before going public.
How disturbing that none of this gives any of the GOP pause! A few years ago, everyone would have distanced themselves from accusations this toxic.
What happened??
