Here’s your reminder that we still don’t know who paid off Kavanaugh’s massive debts because he was allowed to violate the financial disclosure law and no one made an issue of it during his confirmation hearing. I personally think Congress owes it to us to hold a hearing on that.

If it was a debt owed by someone else, he should have disclosed the debtor by reporting a receivable in the assets/income section of one report. If the payoff was a gift, he should have reported the payor in the gifts section of the next report.

The exception for debts owed or gifts given by family didn’t apply because he said it wasn’t from his family. But DOJ and the judicial branch ethics office worked in tandem to help him conceal the source of this money. And members of Congress refused to ask about it.

Oh, and I should add, the Justice Department attorneys who handled the Kavanaugh nomination received the Attorney General’s award for their work on it, despite having failed to properly handle Kavanaugh’s disclosure. Or maybe *because* of that failure.
