judge Kavanaugh's letter to Charles Grassley and Dianne Feinstein
What the liberal MSM continues to ignore.

Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein:

When I testified in front of the Senate three weeks ago, I explained my belief that fair process is
foundational to justice and to our democracy.
At that time, I sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee for more than 31 hours and answered
questions under oath. I then answered more questions at a confidential session. The following
week, I responded to more than 1,200 written questions, more than have been submitted to all
previous Supreme Court nominees combined.
Only after that exhaustive process was complete did I learn, through the news media, about a 36-
year-old allegation from high school that had been asserted months earlier and withheld from me
throughout the hearing process. First it was an anonymous allegation that I categorically and
unequivocally denied. Soon after the accuser was identified, I repeated my denial on the record
and made clear that I wished to appear before the Committee. I then repeated my denial to
Committee investigators—under criminal penalties for false statements. All of the witnesses
identified by Dr. Ford as being present at the party she describes are on the record to the
Committee saying they have no recollection of any such party happening. I asked to testify
before the Committee again under oath as soon as possible, so that both Dr. Ford and I could
both be heard. I thank Chairman Grassley for scheduling that hearing for Thursday.
Last night, another false and uncorroborated accusation from 35 years ago was published. Once
again, those alleged to have been witnesses to the event deny it ever happened. There is now a
frenzy to come up with something—anything—that will block this process and a v**e on my
confirmation from occurring.
These are smears, pure and simple. And they debase our public discourse. But they are also a
threat to any man or woman who wishes to serve our country. Such grotesque and obvious
character assassination—if allowed to succeed—will dissuade competent and good people of all
political persuasions from service.
As I told the Committee during my hearing, a federal judge must be independent, not swayed by
public or political pressure. That is the kind of judge I will always be. I will not be intimidated
into withdrawing from this process. The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not
drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last minute
character assassination will not succeed.
I have dev**ed my career to serving the public and the cause of justice, and particularly to
promoting the e******y and dignity of women. Women from every phase of my life have come
forward to attest to my character. I am grateful to them. I owe it to them, and to my family, to
defend my integrity and my name. I look forward to answering questions from the Senate on
Thursday.
Sincerely,
Brett M. Kavanaugh

Our Justice System is no longer a system of justice if you must prove yourself innocent instead of someone proving you guilty.

Excellent letter and spot on thanks.

Amen and Amen

This letter should be copied and shared by all who know that the MSM will not cover it. Their lying must be exposed.

They (dems/libs/progs) fear his interpretation of our constitution as it was written. They will defend movie moguls, professional athletes and other politicians accused of wrongdoing to the bitter end if they promote resistance to our President. Those not knowing what socialism is are taking us in that direction, it is frightful!
