Trump to Take Over Defense of Kavanaugh

This will be fun to watch https://politicalwire.com/2018/09/26/trump-wants-to-take-over-defense-of-kavanaugh/


President Trump “has grown increasingly dissatisfied with the way Brett Kavanaugh has defended himself in wake of sexual assault allegations that have threatened to derail his Supreme Court nomination,” CNN reports.

“It has led the President to believe that he must personally take charge of defending his embattled nominee ahead of Thursday’s critical appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Trump made the decision to hold a news conference on the eve of the hearing, making it the fourth he has held as president.”

The news conference is scheduled at 5 p.m. ET.

"He's handsome, virile, WELL-Endowed..." IT wants a John Holmes porn star serving on SCOTUS? Must be a reaction to having his private parts compared to a Mario Bros. Mushroom. Spank the monster and send him back to the basement in the tower.

was to distract from the hearing. If Trump is calling his own press conference after the hearing, won't THAT distract from the hearing?

He can give him a crash course on which words you can/cannot say. How to lie and get by with it.

He will be the biggest and best advisor Kavanaugh has had to date because he is an expert at getting out of trouble. The only
subject he won't be able to provide advice on would be virginity, unless it is in connection to some gal he hopes to conquer.

The name of the game is to get Kavanaugh installed in the Surpreme Court asap and before Trump's plans can be in place
to keep him and his family out of prison.

... this most likely wont go down well if the MSM asks him why isn't there a credible FBI investigation like there was with Anita Hill and not let him weasel out of this.

but if I were Kavanaugh, and DT wanted to take over my defense, I'd run for the hills.

Thinking about those old cartoons where a character takes off so fast he leaves his pants behind in a cloud of dust.
