I watched quite a bit of the hearings.
I thought he'd been coached hard not to say anything that would give the Democratic jackals something to get their stinking, rotten teeth into and to also avoid any confrontation with the pouting children up there.
Yep, we get it, you hate liberals. 
The line of questioning you cite is a perfect example. I read that law firm has 350 lawyers in 9 US cities. Kavanagh correctly smelled a trap she was setting for him, but he certainly could have responded better.
Trap? Meaning that there's something to hide. Remember what a lot of folks have said - if you've got nothing to hide, then the truth will set you free. I'm thinking brett's got some things he'd like to keep to himself.He's not hiding anything because the next Republican questioner asked him the question in a manner any of us would have asked someone if we'd genuinely wanted to know. He was asked if he'd ever spoken to anyone about the Muller investigation regarding any inside information or any type of quid quo pro once on the court. Anyone at all? The answer was no.
What Harris was insinuating (which is another way of saying lying) was that she has some inside information from someone at that law firm. It was a lie, a cheap trick.
LOL - well, for one insinuate means to suggest or hint (something bad or reprehensible) in an indirect and unpleasant way. Not lie.
Further, the question goes to his inclination on the Mueller investigation in terms of ending it. Who he spoke to is key herer and Kamala knows it.A cheaper trick was the BS by the future loosing Democratic Presidential Candidate, Booker. What a bunch of BS. Even his own team called him out just a little bit.
Yep, he's doing his best to stay in the spotlight. Typical of any wannabe (see trump).Leahy looked like the corpse at Weekend at Bernie. Basically incoherent.
If Booker and Harris are the future of the Democratic Party, Trump might try for three terms.....
