.MaddowBlog: Why impeaching Brett Kavanaugh is back on the table for many Democrats.
On Saturday morning, the New York Times published a notable report on page A19, making it easy to overlook. It noted that Attorney General Bill Barr is scheduled to present the Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service – one of the Justice Department’s most prestigious honors – to the lawyers who worked to support Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination last year.
A slew of prominent Democrats called on Congress to impeach Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after allegations of sexual misconduct that had once threatened to torpedo his nomination to the bench resurfaced, even as President Donald Trump continued to defend him. […] The New York Times piece added over the weekend, “During his Senate testimony, Mr. Kavanaugh said that if the incident Ms. Ramirez described had occurred, it would have been ‘the talk of campus.’ Our reporting suggests that it was.” Ms. Ramirez’s legal team gave the F.B.I. a list of at least 25 individuals who may have had corroborating evidence.
That said, the New York Times later updated its published piece online to note that the female student involved in this second alleged Yale incident “declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the episode.”
