Can they ask about Kavanaugh's debts? Did Cohen or Trump pay them off for him last year?

[cbdo2007]

It's very strange that he went into this debt, when he seems to have a reasonable income and then all of a sudden gets $200,000 in debts for baseball tickets and home improvements, and joins a country club with a $90,000 initiation fee...all in the past year?

Obviously they were grooming him already for this nomination that they set up at that time, so why did he rack up such insane debts and then how did he somehow get so flush with cash??

Seems like a fair question.

1. That should have come up in the FBI background check which was reviewed in closed session

earlier today. I doubt it will come up in public session

2. federal employees can be fired

for chronic indebtedness. I know someone that happened to.

5. I am going for a gambling problem.

Just a hunch.

would be wonderful if cocaine were in the pic, too. Often the 2 go together for compulsive gamblers.

6. It's only an issue if it's debt that isn't paid

If you have $200,000 in debt but are current on the payments it’s a non-issue, unless it’s a level of debt way outside what your means would be.

7. Maybe Vlad was of some assistance. Trump choosing him? n/t

3. Interesting, although I'm sure we'll never get to know.

When we lived in Northern Virginia, the FBI visited us to ask questions about a neighbor of ours who was applying for a routine upgrade to his classified clearance. We were asked if the family had made any large, expensive purchases lately, things that might be outside of their routine.

4. I still get visits from FBI..

asking about neighbors that are "re-upping" their Security Clearance and asking about their lifestyle

9. do they ask about

contact with Russians? A friend did personnel and they asked her neighbors several questions about Russian contacts. tRump could not pass a security clearance.

10. They ask about foreign contacts, but I have not had

specific questions about Russians...

8. Has Kavanaugh Been Questioned On Meetings With Trump?.....

Did Trump ask him to take a loyalty oath to him?
