If the Democrats take House

With Gerald Nadler as head the House Judiciary Committee, the committee's investigators must put Kavanaugh's finances under the microscope. I am willing to bet his debt just "vanished" from one of the following 3 sources:

* Koch Brothers money, via long time bud Karl Rove
* Donald Trump campaign money
* The Federalist Society

If any of these could be established, you would have a reason so compelling the Republicans would have to go along with impeaching Kavanaugh or face further annihilation in 2020.

You also might have a reason to finally throw David Koch, Charles Koch, and Karl Rove in jail for bribing a federal judge, add another reason to impeach Trump, or a way to fatally wound the power and influence of the Federalist Society.

As Deep Throat in Watergate said, "Follow the money."

The Kochs or the Federalist Society. Proving quid pro quo would be nearly impossible

You may be right that the money is legal. However, if any matter comes up with Trump, The Kochs, or the Federalist Society, would that not make Kavanaugh have to recuse himself? We can hope!
