Jeffery Epstein sympathized with Brett Kavanaugh during the then-supreme court nominees contentious 2018 confirmation and even suggested Republicans should have been harder on Christine Blasey Ford, who had accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
Emails and text messages released by the Department of Justice show Epstein was closely monitoring the confirmation and seemed to believe that Fords allegation of sexual assault could derail the process.
Epstein told one person, whose name was redacted, on 22 September 2018 Ive sat in Kavanaugh chair. Im thinking of November. The meaning of the November reference is not clear.
Epstein called the pending judiciary hearing a trap!, adding Iye [sic] been through many of these. MANY!! She will cry, make sordid allegations. Say she feels bullied, fearful, traumatized. Every thing bad in her life was s result of the rape attempt. Suffered anxiety! Her relationships with men etc. this is a very special skill set needed.

I wonder if Epstein donated to erase Kavanaugh's debts? IMHO.

(2,674 posts)Actually that reference is crystal clear. Epstein, Bannon, and other disgusting creeps in the MAGA movement used Kavanaugh being called out on his sexual predator behavior as a rallying cry for creepy men everywhere to show up and vote in the midterms.

This is why we never saw this, too many very important and rich people just might have to go to jail or lose a lot of money.

Poor Brett Kavanaugh. He suffered so much from this woman's testimony...Not!
Epstein's casually callous advice for Kavanaugh is a dismissal of all woman who find themselves in the position Christine Ford was in.
What a loveless man.
But then, the real problem is much deeper. Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Unbelievable!
